1st letter made me cry.
When I went got home from school, i went over to my fiance's families house and decided to hang out there for a little while. When I got there my soon to be sister-in-law told me that they got a letter from Jared. I was so excited to see what it had said. I started crying when I actually saw it was from him & I had fianlly gotten his address to send him all my letters. When his step-mom Tammy got home she opened it and i took a deep breath and we started reading it and we both started crying. I kept cryign through the whole letter, especially when I read that he was doing really good, and that he said to tell me that he loved me & he also said that he didn't know when he would get to write again. :(((
Does anyone know when they can write again?? ( This is his 2nd week being there)

CaitlynNoellZ, I teared up reading your post. How exciting for you to have recieved your first letter from your fiance'! I, too am a step mom, who's step son will be leaving for basic in Oct. I can only imagine from reading your post and others like it the emotions that come with that first communication from your loved ones. I wish you, your fiance' and your family all the happiness in the world.
