Anyone with division 081? Okay, I took a chance and booked flights before I got my letter, $117 Boston to Chicago roundtrip. Finalizing staying at Keylime Cove $113/night. We will have both the PIR and a birthday to celebrate that weekend!

I got my 1st letters today from my daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy - tears were pouring out of my eyes when I was reading them - and I don't even know why. LOL
She says she is doing really good. They are working them hard, but she is accomplishing everything that she needs to. She said they had 4 people drop from their ship already (as of the 26th) . She is pretty proud because right now she walks around with a medal because she is a staff member - she is the Mail PO.
She says the smiles on the faces of the SRs when she delivers the mail is priceless. She said keep writing lots - they really enjoy it!
So, all of you should be getting your letters any time now. Can't wait til you ladies get your too!!!! -

I got mine today. I had four envelopes with a total of seven letters. I agree, it is making things so much easier already. I did find out that I will not be able to go to his graduation, but after what all he wrote in his letters, I don't even mind as much as I thought I would. I mean I really would love to go and see him, but even if I can't I know everything is going to be okay. I was so happy! My boyfriend did say what all they were eating, but he did say he did like most of it which is saying a lot coming from him. He is seriously the pickiest person ever when it comes to trying new things.

Mandie - you should see my house on tuesdays, lol
I have a trivia crew that endless myself and my dad, as well as either my daughter our my husband. We have 3 cameras and 2 iPads going, plus a printed copy off the family guide. Closest we came was the first week. Answered 15th with the correct answer. No luck since then, although we try every week. You are right, the more people we have playing, the better your chance to win! -
