Gave my office tentative dates last month so no one else would try to schedule time off when i wanted it. I have seniority, and I would prefer not to have had to bump anyone elses days off. My husband can take off pretty much whenever he wants to and GF needed to give her boss one month's notice.

Yes, there is still al ot of unknowing! However, I am happy with the bits I am getting now and can start to focus on one piece at a time. I am excited to think of the real letters that are heading out soon. I will be by the mailbox regularly and with a smile. I will still make faces at the bills that come, but I will be as giddy as a school girl getting her first pair of high heels whenever I get a letter from him.

I agree...at least now we are not camping out by the mailbox anymore for the letter with their address. I feel like we can now move forward. Bummer that Monday is a federal holiday and that they won't receive any mail until later in the week.

Isn't so funny how excited we get when we see their writing. I forgot everything in the car when the form letter came.

Gosh - when is the last time we got excited about snail mail. And the Navy way gives a whole new meaning to that term - "SNAIL mail", doesn't it?

Just catching up with the all the talk. My daughter and I are flying out of Philadelphia early morning on Thursday. We should arrive in Midway at 910 am. We will be meeting or flying with her Father and his Wife. We are all staying at Marriott Courtyard. They offered a discount for NAVY parents but Triple A was still better rate at $89.00/night. The bummer is, they do not have free breakfast. My Ex is renting a car and we will all be traveling together for the weekend. I guess the real question is; will the Corpsman be grad n go or have to leave for TX?
My Ex asked me what the plans are if he has to leave for another state. I told him, I guess we will all get to go to Chicago and do a little sight seeing.
Ragdoll, Good for you to stand up for yourself. Your right, you need to have someone who can support you through this. You sound like a strong woman.
I got mail out a little too late today. I try to send off something each day. Today I sent some news clippings and some cartoons my ten year old made for his brother.
I read somewhere on this website where some Mom's sent a big envelope to their SR so they can mail back some of their letters because of limited space. I know my Son will be getting a LOT of mail. Thats what happens when you come from divorced and remarried family.
