Nice to meet you I am Linda. My son's name is Jonathan as well. We will be coming from Texas. We are thinking about Sarge's meet and greet as well. But no firm plans yet. Comforting to hear that you have not received a call either. Misery loves company I guess. Lol!

Hi Linda,
Let me know if you will be attending. It sounds like it will be very informative and you can see me before I am all red in the face and crying at PIR. LOL -

Sure. It sounds like good opportunity to connect and informative! Have you heard from your Jonathan yet? We are still waiting to hear from ours. We did receive a letter today. Short but he sounded good. I started practicing crying quite some time ago so I should be good and red in the face by the time we meet! Lol! Have a great evening!

No phone call and hopefully his next letter will be more upbeat. It sounds like it was taking a toll on him. He does not like the food and when he does not eat well, he would always turn into a bear. Still planning for PIR. I think we will come on 5/29 and check out the area for a few days. We were never in Il. Sounds like we will see you at Sarge's. Looking for a good rate for rental at this point. See you soon : )
