@Amanda: Sorry, I am working and going to school so it takes me a while to get on here and respond.
Anyways..lol. You are soooo absolutely lucky that he is the Mail Petty Officer!!!That is incredible, I am so Happy for You. A little envious, but so happy!!
& Yes Ma'am I am going. I haven't figured out all of the plans. His parents are planning on coming, and my mother was wanting to go. However...they don't get along. So the travel to get there is a little...unplanned right now.

You are sooo lucky!! Maybe he knows our boys and can get the letters from them and send them to us. lol, just a thought. I just wish we could receive more letters. I am happy that u do get regular mail from him. At least we know how he is and we kinda get an idea as to how our boys might be. Please ask him if he knows Erick and I don't think Kathy, Joanne nor Rose would mind if you ask him if he know their boys. At least we can maybe know how they are doing through him, maybe! We can hope and pray he can just give us a little of info. on them, don't know if this is possible.
Take Care and enjoy those letters. We are praying for our SR's and waiting for our calls!!!
Blessings,
Gracie

Kathy, it's ok, we all get goofy at times. Just click on the picture icon of any of us and then once on our page there is a "add as friend" line under our picture. It's that simple, but I had to learn that the hard way too.

Skyla,
I completely understand that! I just graduated with my bachelors degree and now I'm working full time and taking a class while I wait to get into PT school!! I'm glad you are going to PIR! My mom is also going to PIR with me, as well as my SR's parents!! They live on the other side of Texas though so we will just meet them there. I'm sorry your mom and your SR's parents don't get along!! I'm lucky that both of our parents get along and we get along with them both too.
Gracie,
I will definitely ask him about y'all's SRs!!! I will ask how they are doing!! The SRs only know each other by their last names so if y'all will give me their last names I will ask him! :) -

God Bless you all and our boys,
Kathy

Hi Ladies,
Thank you all for your birthday wishes, it was a great day!!
Hey All, Anthony called today!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm one happy momma again and my hives are much better :-)
He said that he is getting to know all your boys/husbands and boyfriends. I mentioned names and he was saying, "yes, but I mostly know them by their last names since that's what the RDCs call us by. Buy he did know a few of their first names too. Sorry Gracie, I'm reiterating everything I said on fb to you.
All is well here,
Rose
