Ship 9 Div. 225--OMG!! Now I'm freaking out. I hope that is not true that they can not have cards. I have been sending a card a day, spent a fortune at the Hallmark store. I would be really sad if he thought I was not writing him. Alright, exhale....

FYI...i dont know if ur kids are getting alot of mail which im sure they are...but maybe a suggestion that i told my daughter to send a cpl of letters each time, back home that ppl have sent them to make more room for other mail, and i would put them in a box for her to keep....cause i guess they dont have a lot of room in the bunk compartments....just to help..

when he writes u back he might tell u then...or u can ask him...unless she just doesnt have the room to keep them all...there storage is very small i guess...didnt want to upset u linda....maybe also shes afraid to ask someone up there if they are and assumes they are not

Fingers crossed I have a letter today... I know most fo you got letters but because I am in Canada the border holds it up a bit.... I know he would have sent one... its the delay due to the country difference makes it hard to know when exactly. But hopefully otnight otehrwise monday is a flipping holiday :( so wont get mail till tuesday!
