Andrea, how is the decorating going? Did the second coat of paint cover?
Crystal is busy doing whatever it is she does..LOL a little disappointed that she can't go over 300 miles away, and can't go visit her friend Lacy in
FL while they are there on Leave from Japan. But such is the way of the military life. Hoping her Brother visits her soon, he said he was, but she hasn't heard from him.
Slowly getting my to do list done..LOL

I just received my daughter's box of personal belongings. Now I wish I would receive the letter telling me when PIR is. I'm a planner and it will give me and her little brothers something to look forward to and count down to. I am not generally a patient person, so this is killing me. I can't wait to hear her voice again or get a letter!
