So did anyone else get a call? My daughter said they came in 3rd out of 3 for Captain's Cup, LOL. The RDC's said that it was OK because they scored highest at Battleship.The RDC's also said the SR's wore not allowed to cry during this phone call. My daughter is going to tell them she didn't, but her mom did, lol.
well only 4 more days until we get to see our loved ones. I can't wait.
WHOWHOO got a call from KARA Can you belive it they called today.
That was the longest conversation I have ever had with her..It was longer than 5 min cause she usually called me in my classroom..WOW IT was great day..My voice is slowly coming back..NOW Guess what..
Is snowing right here in DALLAS>>Cant wait to see all of you..Got our note from Southwest to check in 24 hours before our flight to get on board first..WOW>>almost here..HOOYAH>>
There's a picture that you asked for =)
VERY NICE~~ VERY Elegant..See you guys in a few days.>WHOWOOO
THAT is AWESOME! Sarah wants to get a "mother daughter" matching tatoo. Neither one of us has one yet. I think I'm finally up for it now :-)
This was my second,. I drew it myself, so it means a little more.. this one is on my left shoulder,. my other was on my foot. I was SO scared of getting this one because my foot hurt SOOO bad. This one hardly hurt at all! So when you guys do get one,. just be concious of where you put it,. the bonier the area, the more it smarts! Now I understand why the tattoo artist said "YOUR getting your first tattoo on your foot?! Are you Sure?!" HAHA yeah big difference. I hope no one told on me and their kids told Tim =X LOL I want it to be a complete surprise, I wasn't expecting a phone call yesterday. I'm sure no one did, but it did cross my mind
He is going to be very surprised..We cant wait to see all of them..How are we going to know each other..Do we sit together for our DIV??
Yes we all sit together as a Division =)
Yes we all got phonecalls =) Mine was 2 hours total. He called me once for 45 minutes,. and about a half hour later called me back, and I said Hello??? And he said.. I snuck back in! lol That conversation was 1:15 minutes. He sounded so much better this time. No crying (well just a little) but he sounds normal again. He said they are going to get a beating tonight because after battlestations people have been slacking so they are all getting punished for it. I only know because we have a chat room going on on Facebook where we all get together and talk, they all received calls but one mom. What a nice surprise!! I was so tickled. Life is almost back to somewhat normal! I'm finally getting my husband back, what a relief! less then 5 days! Yay!
we got a call too, she sounded sooooo good! One very happy momma!!!
