YAAAAAAY!!!!!! Got our first handwritten letter today. So good just to see the envelope and his printing. 12/098 was in P-days for 16 days, so had time to adjust, study, and work out til the rest of the Div. were filled. Hope to hear from everyone else when they get their letters! Woo Hoo Thanks, Debby

No call yet :( I am keeping my phone with me everywhere. Just wondering if he is going to call me or call his girlfriend. Not sure if they can split up their time or not. I feel 110% better now that I have my letter and I know he is doing well.
