Still waiting...

My daughter left on December 8th for boot camp.  I received her box and the graduation letter with a small note.  I was really hoping for a phone call around Christmas even though I was sure it wouldn't come.  she said she like it very much and it was a great decision but I still want to hear more.  Just waiting patiently and preparing for February 10th graduation.  I am so proud of her.

Waiting for "The Box"

Well she left on December 8th and I am still waiting on "The Box"  I am hoping it comes today.  I really want the address to begin mailing her letters.  I don't want her to think we don't care or forgot about her already.  I am waiting as patiently as I can. I have some pictures and dated journal days to send her since she left....please come soon.
