Hey girl. I'm still on campus so I won't know until later on when I go back home, but I'll let you know if I do. & yes, fingers crossed. :-) & I'm soooooooo happy you received a letter today. I hope your sr is doing well. I hope our division is following rules. Lol but happy you heard from your sailor :-) :-D :-)
Hey sam, I hope your having a good day. No I didn't get one but Meg whose hubby is in the same division received one today. She lives an hour away from GL but this also means that ours is on its way. We will definitely see something this week. Fingers crossed. She mentioned that they've been punished bc a lot of the young guys don't take it serious. So hopefully we get a call this week or next week but I hope our sr's write in there letters when they are due to make another phone call.
They receive mail everyday, but they can only send mail on Sundays. They are only allowed to write on Sundays, but a lot of them will write at night time when they can't sleep because a red light is left on (so don't write in red, pink, or orange!)
I already know his will be miserable which will be really really hard. But at least once we get our letters we will know exactly what it is that they need cheering up on.
And by the way, we will get our first letters around the same time they get ours, so don't be surprised if they don't respond to anything you've said to him yet. He will soon.
Just so ready for the letters! Should get it sometime this week!!
stacy I am in TX and my son did leave for BC on 3/1 out of dallas. Are you in tx too? I bet we have same PIR if your BF is in ship 3 149. I have not recvd our offical letter yet either, hope to get it today.
YAY! The letters should come next week then! I'm so happy for you. Seriously when the form letter came in it made my whole week. It only gets better from here!
yeah the other girls I talked to are jealous too! But since all of you get to go a week before me it makes us fair! :) ha!
But at least I can tell you that you should get your boyfriends first letter either middle of next week or the end of the next week so that should be something you can look forward to!
I just hope yours will be upbeat! I have a feeling mine won't be happy at all since he was so miserable on the phone call. So don't be surprised if you have a lot of him talking about missing you in his letter! Me and the other girls are preparing for he worst, but hoping for the best!
I'm doing good. I got my first letters last week and more today. I got a phone call yesterday too! It was the most exciting thing ever! When did your boyfriend leave?
I started crying because he said "Tell Stacy I miss her and I love her"
I also got a phone call! Apparently he needed security clearance or something? I'm not sure what it was for but it was nice to talk to him and hear is voice. even though I cried for like an hour afterwards it still was the highlight of my day! he said he's already written be 5 letters and he will mail them to me on Sunday! I'm so excited!
Hey, How are you today.. Toay is okay for me, despite the fact that I keep having moments of me breaking down. I dont know what happened. I was doing so good but I think it's because it's my boyfriends borthday today and we arent celebrating it together :-( but I try to look at it as everytime we are together, there will always be something to celebrate :-). But I hope today is good day for you. Im also hoping that we get letters today or some time this wek. Fingers are crossed. Im just super anxious because I wanna know how they are doing.
