NSJC04...what's going on? :-( I can't reply to your post, so I'm having to do it this way. :-(
We just got a letter from our SR and he said he'd been really sick last week...sounds like he got what everyone else had. He's looking forward to "eating a cheeseburger as slowly as (he) wants to", and that sounds EXACTLY like something he'd say!! :-) *fingers crossed* that BST goes well for everyone. Just waiting with baited breath at this point. -

Wishing everyones SR's good luck in BST !!!!
I got 3 letters from my SR today and he spent $236 on the divisions pictures, he said he had fun doing it too, so that's good, I'm so happy he did that for me, although I might give him the money ??
It sounds like he's made some very good friends.
Have a great day ladies !!!

I think we might help our SR out with his pics, too. In his letter, he said that he wasn't going to order them 'cause he "looked goofy", but I'm just excited to see them and get a fancy-schmancy frame for it. :-) He said he's really looking forward to "eating a cheeseburger as slowly as (he) wants"...which is TOTALLY something he'd say!! *lol* Just keeping my fingers crossed for the next day or so. ;-)

Ok...I'm feeling incredibly delinquent. What's the "blue candle" thing I keep seeing? I'm afraid I'm operating on scattered information. :-(

Are you all sitting on pins and needle too, waiting for THE CALL? In his last letter our son told us that BST would be from 8pm Thurs to 8 am Friday (Central time) and that they would be allowed to call after that. So, we've been waiting by the phone. I hope they don't drag the call home times into tomorrow.
