I too was hoping to hear on Wed. since that is when he called last week. Kept my phone on me as well. His little brother did get a letter today. He says it's been real tough and the pictures my lil guy sends are the best.
Little does my big guy know but the whole 1st grade class made a poster that I will be sending up for the whole division (on rolled paper, I will get it folded in an envelope some how). Wish I could see their faces. It should be ready to mail on Monday. I can't wait!

Hi,
I finally got a letter today. I guess now they can read letters on Tuesdays and Thursdays and he wrote his on 3-17-11 and during writing it he said he still cant send until Sunday. You might get one tomorrow since we have had bad weather here. he said they are starting weapons training and that this week was going to be a hard one. They got haircuts and they only shaved the sides and back and his hair is now darker. He is eating lots too. he made friends but no names given and the division is still not together on things. I hope you get it tomorrow.

We had a couple really nice days - I pulled weeds, planted peas and cucumbers (In buckets so if it freezes we can cover them) and hyacinths, stars and narcissus are blooming and smelled so good i could pretend it was spring! But it has rained the last 2 days with chain requirements on passes so I had to cancel a doc appt in California. Sacramento has been getting slammed according to daughter. Today is our SR's birthday and it feels weird to not call him! So I will tell you guys "Happy Birthday T"

Clearance! a.n.a® Fisherman Cable Scarf at JC Penneys is on sale for 5.99 and division 140 and its sister division are wearing navy blue. It is a bit lighter, but I am ordering it for me, anyone else in?
I was going to try to make one, but have only made one item so far, a prayer shawl that had tons of prayers go into it but man it was lopsided!

Hi! My only son Zack, age 19 is in Ship 09, Division 140. I received a phone call from him yesterday. He sounded good. He says that all is well, and things are well....progressing. I was lucky I actually got to talk to him for 15 minutes. He was telling me that he enjoyed his "mini-vacation" from boot camp (he had all four wisdom teeth extracted). I dont hear from him as much as I would like to, but I guess this too shall pass.
I am so happy to have found this site. Very informative, and reassuring to know that I am not the only one going through the empty nest syndrome. My name is Melinda, and I am from Spring Creek NV. I will be attending PIR, purchased my tickets yesterday, so I am real excited about that. I hope to meet some of you other moms. I find it incredible how stuff like this can bring strangers together to form a very uncommon bond. -
