Hey Whitney,
I'm okay. I still haven't received a letter yet but no one has received one yet from his division. I hope to get one next week because I've been really sad lately. I just want this 3rd week to fly by so we can be in week 4 & be halfway finished with this. But how are you holding up?
Yea.. your absolutely right but I hope we both get a letter soon. Finger crossed for tomorrow. I'll let you know if i get one tomorrow but if you ever need to talk, you can contact me on here or on facebook. I'm here for you girl because I know that all the support really helps.. :-)
Yeah she is hanging in there, but yes she will be soooo excited to see him at grad! 21 hours wow that's just right around the corner lol. I hope to meet some good women to help keep my mind from exploding lol. I like talking to other wives too because it's like you said we are going threw the same thing. Do you know if you are able to go with him or are you guys still waiting on the info for that? I didn't get a letter today but I really hope to soon....tomor soon :-) You have a good evening too!!
hey girl! I'm still not sure of his PIR date. He is in DIV 152 and it hasnt been listed yet my guess would be May 6th, or possibly April 29. What about you? when did your husband leave?
Hey Whitney.. Things are okay.. Today wasn't one of my best days but its okay becasue I have you ladies who are always there to help one another get through this process. How are you? Hows your day goin? Did you recieve any letters yet? Im still waiting patiently, hopefully we will get smethign today or before the week is over....
Hey, yeah I hope we can find other wives to join us lol. I have been on this site but really haven't been talking to anyone. I have been just reading and printing out information about so many things. Yes I can't wait to get his letter too. The for real letter. I write him every day and I sent them all out yesterday. The envelope was kinda thick so I hope that won't cause any problems. Yes we talked about how we knew it would be hard too but you are totally right this is wayyyyyy harder than I expected. We have a 6 year old so I am trying to keep it together for her too. The last 3 nights she has went to sleep crying for him. This will be our life for a bit I just hope that she will understand it more as time passes cuz it's breaking my heart. We are dealing though. It's just a day by day struggle. Yes my day is going very well. Hope yours is the same. :-)
