oh i see why wouldnt it let u reply me back in the msgs?? but it is ok and that is good and i am doing good too but just miss my bf soo much i want to see him and hear his first... he has been at boot camp for 2 weeks now and so i probably get my first letter on the third or fourth week i already written four letter to him and sent them i am goin to write another one this weekend, i cant wait to get my first letter from my bf.i will probably end up crying readin it... and when does it get more eaisier bc it is hard i dont see that well at nights. i miss him soo much.
hi NGF no one realy likes bk but they are so happy when they make it thru did you see my discussion on my son and dil getting married on the Aschool sight
hi my sons in a school and we're not sure yet his classes keep on getting pushed back there are not a lot of peaple in his field of study so they have to waite for more to come so they can have a full class
Oh man I know I can't wait! My husband graduates 4/15, so I only have about a week left!! I'm so excited to go and see him! This has probably been the longest 2 months ever! But I feel we are better because of it...it has made us stronger in the long run. That's great you have gotten letters! It totally got so much easier for me after I started getting Max's letters...they kept me going! Still hard, but not as hard as no news at all! Have you gotten a call yet? Its always nice to get those...hope you are doing OK!!
Yeah, he is! I'm very proud of him. I'm not sure what he'll be doing. We just found out today from the recruiter I believe, but when I find out I'll tell you. How many weeks has it been since he's left?
the next month will fly by!! the last week may be hell though. I felt like friday could not come soon enough haha and i had to deal with his parents that whole week, figuring out when we were leaving and such. i just wanted to get there and see him and hug him for the first time in weeks!! it will be PIR day before you know it. the first month and the last week were the hardest for me personally
Thanks for the add! Is your boyfriend in boot camp right now? mine went through it back in the fall and is in A school right now. If you have any questions or anything feel free to ask!
Oh I'm so sorry I have a feeling that's going to happen to me too when he gets his calls. It sounds bad but I get jealous of his mom just cause she dropped us off at the hotel and I had to say good bye that morning and she got to go to meps and hang out with him at the airport before he left got the call when he got there got his box and the lil note on the bottom was to her. Idk it sounds terrible but I wanna know he misses me and still loves me too :(
Oh so it's coming up then :) And yeah I understand I'm that way too I kinda just want to talk to him I'm the same about PIR I kinda wish I could get some time with him without his whole family around. I'm sure it won't happen but I wish lol. Well good luck hope you get your call soon :) Still waiting for that letter over here lol.
I know my cell is always right next to me and on loud just in case he gets a call or something. I got them at express I think there on the website too. They have black on too I think.
It's so exciting because we might get to sit up closer and there will be plenty of space and not as long of a wait to get in and get everything started :) Yeah his call will probably be next week and it will either be just to his mom or split between us. He should be getting my letter soon though so I keep thinking he's getting my support. Yeah I can put an outfit together in my mind but I don't know what stores to go to to find it.

I think it is. His mom thinks his graduation is on May 27th. He will have to perform at 2 graduations before his.
