The form letter came today!!! His PIR date is 2/11/11. There was also a small letter from him on the last page saying to write lots, send small pictures and that he loves me. Awwwww... I feel so much better now. Silly how a letter can make or break ya. The one thing he didn't like was that they are allowed only 4 guests at the graduation. We have 4 in our family, but he wanted his grandparents there also. He didn't want to make that decision so he left it up to me to make it. Thanks....took the easy way out and emailed my mom who I am sure will be upset, but having his brother and sister there is more important I would say.
My son left 12/8 so maybe those of you who haven't gotten the form letter yet will get it soon. Glad that everyone here is going to be in my sons graduation group. Looking forward to talking to some new moms as well as the moms from the other groups that I have been talking with.

Finally got my sons address!!! The recruiters office forgot to give me his division number which I called right back wanting. He is Ship 02 Div 912. His PIR date is 2/11 unless his RDC changes it because of the whole holiday thing. I am a very happy mom right. How funny is it that something as simple as an address can make your whole day.

good morning ladies, after starting a bad day yesterday it turned out to be a pretty good one. with address and box in hand now. called my sons recruiter and he was surprised I already had the box. I called my sons girlfriend over and I let her open the box and took pics while she did it. plan on pasting to a letter so he can see we find joy in the little things. BB so happy for you on the address we all know how that one little paper makes you feel. your box should arrive anyday praying you get it today. I was up at 4 this morning with my mom so before going back to bed I said a pray making it a habit if I have to be up with her might as well ask God for extra strangth Indurance leadership and knowledge for our boys... next step form letter come on mail lady.... I hope you all have a blessed day with many smiles.
