I am so glad that you are doing better. I am sure that time will help. Thank goodness most of the news was that hell week was not as bad as they thought. At least he moved before the gas chamber and doesn't have to do that twice.

 

That is very sweet of you to send out cards. I was able to grab the card I had for Shane and correct the address. It was actually a congrats for passing inspection and I wanted to still send it. I will send him out another note today.

 

I am going out of town this weekend and won't be online. I will catch up when I get back. You all take care and have a great weekend!!

Michele,

I am glad you are doing much better today. I sure hope Shane gets all the extra notes and cards we sent real soon. Maybe that person was right, they needed Shane for what ever reason over there. I actually put that in my little note to him the other night.

Michele, I am so sorry to read about Shanes misfortune, It really made me stop and think about how easy something like this could happen to anyone of our SR's . I am probably now more nervous than ever about the next two week for them. They all have and are working very hard to achieve their goal. Good luck to all of them and may the best of luck ,skill  and health be on their side .

Michele,

 

I am so glad that you are doing better!!! I agree that whatever happens in life, does make us stronger, its just going thru those difficult times it is hard to see!!!  I also believe that things do happen for a reason, and I believe that Shane was needed in the division he is going too...

I will miss meeting you and Shane at GL but like its been said, Its a small world and I am sure one day we will meet. 

I sent you a friends request, so that I can give you my son's last name. You truly are an awesome person for continuing to think of our boys and wanting to send them cards.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!  It really means alot and says alot about you!!!

 

I was trying to tell my sisters about the situation, I could hardly speak about it, I was trying not to cry and have a "melt down" but I did anyway!!

Recieved word that my DIV T-shirts have been shipped and should receive them this Tuesday. YEAH!!!

 

Hope you have a wonderful day!!

 

Ann

Got the shirts today!  They look great!  I seem to have an overabundant of them though.  Turns out Chris also ordered a bunch. 

I'm a little concerned about the large envelope I sent him.  He indicated in his letter that he mailed out the package which contained letters and his life insurance policy.  I have not received it yet.  I put lots of stamps on the envelope.  I bet there is postage due.  I cannot remember if I put my address as the return address.  I bet I didn't since I did not receive it yet. 

Do you think it will be returned back to him for more postage?

I have seen the post office send a note in your mail box with postage due which will allow you to pay the extra postage and pick up the package.  Hopefully that will be what happens in your case.  Keep your fingers crossed.

 

I should get the t-shirts I ordered tomorrow, I am really excited and cant wait to see them!! I did not realize that the boys could order them too, but I am sure they will not go to waste...

I didn't order tee shirts in time and I dont think my son would had order any either :(

He thought I was crazy because I want to buy pictures.

If we have extra I will let you know.  It may not be until PIR.  I have to see what my son has ordered. 
Permalink Reply by five10fevr(HM school) on March 28, 2011 at 8:28pm

How did you know he ordered them? He told you in a letter? Or were you able to call somewhere?

Please let me know if you have extras. I can meet you at PIR and get them then.

Thanks Jennifer

five, he wrote this in a letter.  I will make a point to discuss this with him if I get his Sailor call this week.  Fingers are crossed and prayers have been said.

Hello Everyone.

 

I am back and I have not had a chance to catch up on everyone's conversations. I did get my t-shirts when I arrived home yesterday. I also have gifts that have been ordered.

 

I got some bonoculars packed up and gifts in bags. I will print parking passes today. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I will try to catch up today on what all of the N4M has been doing in our discussion and the main PIR 4/8 page.

 

Have a great day and I will chat with you soon!
