hi Laura

He just left for boot camp yesterday. We are extremely proud and very sad. He has wanted to do this since he was little and he is very excited. Which makes it more than bearible for us. I know he will love it.

How about your son. Has he thought about it for a long time?

I just found this website the other day and it seems to have a lot of information. I think it will be very helpful.

Got my call about 11 p.m. last night. She sounded o.k. She said there were about 80 people there. I don't think any of them are getting much sleep.

Laura, I know you just had to say goodbye to your son. I'm so sorry it's so tough. I'm not looking forward to kissing my son goodbye on the 13th to leave on the 14th. It seems like we have them for such a short time before we have to let them go! Biggest problem is we are so use to caring for them and have the revolving door go non-stop with friends in and out that I'm positive I'm going to be right were you are. I'm sending out prayers to all our kids. Thinking of you I'll be there on tuesday the 14th!!!!

Im not sure...maybe it just takes longer to get mail where we are located ha. But my husband did call me lastnight because they lost my ss card and marriage certificate, so we got to talk for 10mins. He said everything is fine...and he has already sent the form letter. So im assuming the mailman just isn't working in our favor.

Hi there Laura,

I'vebeen trying to respond to your message you sent me a while ago- IT wouldn't let
me "reply" ?? I have trouble understanding this site.

Anyhow,
how are you?? If you remember, our son's are in the same Div. and going to the
same A School.

How is your SR doing? So close to gradation now! Only 4 days left! I do believe
they are doing Battlestations today. Also, today is my son's 19th birthday. I
miss him so terribly! First time in 19 years I couldn't hug him and say happy
birthday. At least we see them this week!! :)) (being optimistic)

Here
is my email:: chemelsalon@hotmail.com

Its much easier to get messages from there. If you know or hear of anything, please
feel free to write back. Grins, Mel
