Hey girl! I can't believe you are on Facebook too! I just got back on there yesterday after being off for 3 years. I know what you mean but I'm sure he understands since we don't know when they will be calling. My phone will be glued to my side now. :)
Kelsey got a letter today from Devin. She said he was doing good and really liked it. They have him helping others with the rifles since he really does well with it. I haven't heard anything yet but he told her to tell me he loved us.
Hope he does well with the extractions! That is cool that you are in the dental field too! I am a hygienist so we so all kinds of things! My son came a week before he left to make sure he got his teeth cleaned and made sure he didnt have any cavities. :)
I got the form letter Monday so if you need the address I will be happy to give it to you. Did the recruiter say that was the ship he was on? We mailed him cards and letters so we are hoping he will get them Sunday.
Just let me know if you want the address. Try to keep busy. I know it is so different. Devin's girlfriend Kelsey is doing ok she has good and bad days but she just tries to keep busy by counting down the Fridays. If you need anything just let me know.
You aren't alone in this. It will turn out good! :)).
Yes, they are in the same division. Have you heard from him yet? I am on pins and needles wanting to hear from him. I am hoping maybe this weekend he will get our card. His girlfriend Kelsey is really hoping that he will write her soon. :) Are you doing O.K ?
