Your funny Callie,,
I thing we all have made friends with the mail man in the past couple weeks, I'm going to get a DD coffee gift card tomorrow for putting up with me... haha
Good morning all! I hope everyone is doing well. Well, my sister AND my aunt received a letter, but not me. (sad face) I was actually jealous! Lol! I was glad to hear that he is doing well tho and seems to be in good spirits. A phone call or a letter this week would be soooo nice. *sigh* Just missing my son and getting super excited about upcoming graduation. SN: waiting for the mailman. Lol!
I am in the same boat. Several of her friends have gotten letters but we are still waiting sigh.
Callie,
Did you find out anything from her friends. Just wanted to know where their at. What week and What day their on? Im sorry you haven't recieved a letter yet.. This is so hard.. Not much chatter at all from the girls 07/078 and I think there is about 40 of them.. I don't know that for sure though.
when my son called he said there was 43/40 not sure if that is boys to girls
My SR is in ship 07 div. 078! How are you?
Hello Kerrie,
My daughter is in 7/078 to. I hope you get your letter this week to. A phone call would be great. I can't wait to hear her voice. Im missing her so much.. Hang in there!!
doing fine just work work and try to write my letters to my son. I got one letter and one phone call two weeks ago. did you get a letter this past week.
i hope you are doing okay.

When you get a chance you will have to be the one to add the word green to the Ship 07 Div 078. above. It has to be the person who started the page.. thankyou. Hope all is going well.
Margaret - I added the word green. For everyone else this is the color our group is so we can recognize each other at the meet and greet and PIR. It is totally optional. Since it is winter in Chicago, wearing a scarf is pretty normal and won't be flashy at all. i figured I would just wear it with my winter coat. I will probably order the one from Lala because I like to support small businesses and one of our own. Well, people are getting phone calls this week. I think our group is going to be one of the later ones because there are guys who got there on 1/4 and some on 1/9. Not sure what my son did for those first 5 days, but I am sure I will find out on PIR day. Also, since we already got the 30 minute call 2 weeks ago, I am afraid there won't be another one. I am prepared for that reality. Letters are just fine with me.
when did you son go in ? mine left the 1/3 and i guess sat there for a while until everyone else got there.
did you get a letter? I got one so far and I thought I was doing good until someone said they got 4 from their son :(
mine doesn;t like to write even asked me why he needed stamps.
I only got one letter. one call. from my daughter.:( Hopefully there will be a call this week!!!! Have a great day..
