Last minute "to-do's" ?
I heard some talk about getting the dvd ahead of time to avoid lines at PIR. Does anyone know anything about this ? Also I heard some of you chatting about the pics of them. I haven't seen or heard about these. (keep in mind ladies that I am the mom that didn't get the first 5 letters my SR sent, because he sent them to his sister- thought she would share the info -lol) so, I may have missed something regarding the pics. If there are any other last minute "to-do's," I thought it might help to mention them, in order to help more than just me.
I am wearing my division Tshirt that arrived yesterday. I also got my 2nd letter yesterday. He sounded great!! He is so looking forward to taking a nap in the grass on a sunny day he said. He said that they have learned to appreciate the "little things" or things that use to seem insignificant. I want to thank all of you for your support these last 7 weeks. What a wonderful way to support one another. I cant wait to meet you in 8 days!!!

For me, this weekend is going to be busy getting the car serviced & detailed, completing clothes/shoe shopping, making my list of all the things to get cleaned and packed, etc. I'm tired just thinking about it! lol. I am so excited that it is almost time to go. I can't believe it is almost here. We will be with our Sailor's in 8 more days.
