So glad we received the letter today. I now can make the rest of my plans. We had reservations for 3 weekends and I am going to cancel one of those weekends. I do not want to risk not having the next weekend in case something happens and he is delayed a week in graduating. Since we use hotel points for our travels it is sometimes harder to get reservations using points. I always plan way in advance for any situation that may come up. We are in GA and will be coming in on Thursday and spending the weekend. Hope to meet some of you at Sarge's Meet and Greet. Have letters addressed to send out in morning mail.. I think I will send the first two Priority Mail so it will not take as long and then mail the others regular mail. Have a Great Day !! BTW it is true the handwriting is so much better.
