Hey there! Yep he graduated and is about a month away from finishing A School. Then we are meeting for vacation!! And he's off again! How is everything in your world?
I'm glad to hear it was a great experience for you! I wish I could go! But, flying from Alaska for only a day just isn't practical. We are going to go on a "big" trip when he's all done with training. I wonder if I could visit him in A school...I have a high school friend that lives in TX...not sure how close to San Antonio she is...but it would be worth a thought!
Ohhh ok! LOL! I thought you had said last friday was graduation! He's so sweet...he stayed up to write to me when he had to get up at 4:30 am! He is so good to me! I hope your week goes quickly so you can see your sweetie!
I got a letter yesterday! I hope graduation day was wonderful for you yesterday!! Just wanted to the letter came...he wrote it two weeks ago so they must have held them a week. Postmarked the 25th! I sent out 18 to him! He will be so surprised & know he's loved!
They are saying it's "hell" week possibly on our PIR site. That's different from Battlestations isn't it? That's great that you got a letter! I did not today. I hear there are 2 div that are sick so maybe that's why there is no letter. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow!
Woo Hoo! Congrats on making it through! Are you attending graduation? I was looking for the list that says what your SR is doing this week...I can't remember where I found it. Do you happen to know? Heading home to check the mail...keep your fingers crossed!!
Nope! I had my BFF Facebook his brother, they all grew up together. He said NO ONE has heard from him! Maybe he figures he's grown & doesn't need to send his stuff tohis Mom. He'd been married...but I don't know. I know he didn't want his ex contacting him, so maybe he was thinking she'd try to get info out of them. Anyhow...I keep praying & having faith in him! Down to a week for your SR?? How goes it?
Thanks I apprieciate that! I figure that since he's an "old" man maybe he took the time to sleep or help out one of the younger guys...that's his way...always helping. Makin' me stronger right! The wait! Patience is a virtue after all! Glad to hear they might have time on Sunday. I'm headed back to my house with my little girl...we are moving into my parents place to house sit for the winter...packing...not fun. But I will crank up the tunes!
They must not have much time to write. So three sounds great! And only two weeks to go until you get to communicate more! WooHoo! The mailman has come and gone...no letter today for me. I was really hoping...all week I've been waiting thinking that I'd get one. So, I'm very sad needless to say.
I hope so today! Are you enjoying your saturday? I see your SR is getting closer to graduation!! I love that photo captioned "LOVE"! What a wonderful picture! Keep the faith girl! You have helped me already more than you know!
