Gregory still might have PIR on 10/11, It will probably be 11/18, but who knows, Bryce is 9/27 just because he is in a push division, even though I haven't got to talk to him, I have found that our from other mom's.

Girlfriends/boyfriends, Bryce had a serious girlfriend a couple years ago and they still talk but don't date anymore, I glad they were able to end things and still be friends, I think that says a lot for a young kid, he also loves her parents, he actually stop by to see then the morning that he left, her dad has been real good to Bryce. Gregory had a girlfriend this spring and she was real sweet and I like her, but the next thing I know he told me he broke up with her, said that she was mad at him and they had been text, he text her that he would call in a bit and he called and broke up with her, said he really didn't need someone being mad at him, ha ha. He is my easy going laid back boy, who can charm anyone. I talked to the recruiter today and told him that Gregory called me twice in 2 days, he said now that is not normal, we figure it out. That boy he is something else.

Sam said he did not do well, but he passed.  Said his grades are still good but he defiantly needs to prepare better.

Doubletrouble YAY, the letter! Cathy will be going 09/27 Me 10/4 and You 10/11 how weird!!

Sierrascrapper - Kelly had this boyfriend for a few months - really nice boy - lots of back history but basically he is an orphan from Russia adopted by US family. Love him but if I had to be honest and I say this only because she is not on this website!!!! I would not want her to marry him! Here's what I do know and I also say this cos twinkle 2 has a boyfriend of 3 years but they're going to separate colleges - you can't control who your kids date and who they don't ! The less fuss the better! Don't get too close but don't shut them out - accept it as though it's natural. My personal feeling is they are way too young BUT don't tell them that they will try to prove you wrong ! I just smiled and nodded!! Kelly still is "going out" with her boyfriend but unless a miracle occurs and God knows something I don't - mark my words - a year at the most!!! Twinkle 2 might be in for the long haul but I think she will outgrow him! Don't have any conversation - smile and nod - be there if it's a train smash! Merely my opinion!

How did Sam do does he think Co-Twin?

Both my boys do not want to marry too young, they both had girlfriends and Steve is still friends with his but no longer a couple, Sam broke things off with his, Just took her on one last date and they both knew that he was starting a military career and long distance relationship would not work. Both boys I think keep in touch with Steve's Friend via FaceBook. And both girls still visit with me.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 20, 2013 at 3:34pm
So...I guess my boys are proving they still have a brotherly/twin bond. LOL Twin 1 informed us yesterday that Twin 2 just got a girlfriend. Iyiyiyiyi! I decided not to mention it to Jonathan until he officially tells us or posts it on FB as we didn't need to deal with the argument of brother spilling the beans. LOL I am happy for Jonathan, but worried at the same time. This girl is super sweet and she is on the flag team with the marching band. I get along really well with her Mom too. My only worry is what to expect. He has only had one girlfriend before and it lasted two weeks. Did any of your boys have girlfriends before they signed into DEP or did they get a girlfriend after? I remember one of you said your son broke up with their gf before leaving. Did you try to prepare your son for that inevitable moment or just let it happen and help him afterward? Im just trying to figure out what kind of conversation we need to have. My next question is...if your son stayed with their gf...how did they discuss the whole relationship thing with their gf knowing they would be gone for so long. I can't imagine a girl waiting that long to be back with her bf.

Oh drama...I do not do well with drama.

CO-twin...the ideas you tossed out for the next madlib sound GREAT!! Also, I hope things progress well with the sale of your business so you can start following your dream. Let us know how Sam did on his test when you find out. I'm sure you are on pins and needles waiting to hear from him.
Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 20, 2013 at 3:12pm
3boysmom...so glad to hear you are enjoying some special time with your twins while you can. Praying for safe travels and for your oldest who is training somewhere out there'. Best of luck on your new job. You are a BRAVE woman to work with high school kids. Don't feel like you have to keep up with us on here, but we hope you will pop in once and a while to give us an update on your boys.
Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 20, 2013 at 3:08pm
Doubletrouble...Yippee! So glad it finally came! Too bad your son and Cathy's aren't in the same div together. I say your boss should DEFINITELY let you go home so you can savor the moment. Also...good to hear Jacob's box came too.
Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 20, 2013 at 3:02pm

That is great about the letter, now comes the fun part of waiting for about a week when you will get your first real letter from him.  They are told to write neatly. I found it hard to believe mine write that letter.  Sam must have gotten in trouble because his first one had cross outs and not too neat, the second was perfect.

are their PIR the same?
