Went early this morning to check the mail because Wednesday is letter day....No letter :( Maybe it just got delayed for some reason...or my SR was too busy or tired to write. Hopefully thats all it is and they didn't have to do PT instead! Now I will just have to wait for a call this week I hope :) She said in her letter last week that she should be able to call in a week or so :) Getting very excited for May 18th!

I did get a letter! Was delivered to my neighbor accidentally. Wednesday is my favorite day of the week. He sounded like they were finally coming together as one and working together. He was pretty happy about that. I can't wait for the"I'm a Sailor" call now!!

Ok moms...help!!! I know or at least I thought I ordered a division t-shirt, long sleeved t-shirt and division sweatshirt for my son to have at grad - but I for the life of me cannot find my e-mail, I have gone thru my paypal account, my checking and credit cards for the purchase I cannot find it. It was a site that was listed here on navyformoms.com but it was not prinfection, zazzle, or cafe press. Any suggestions? I ordered them about 2 weeks ago and now with 2 weeks left until grad I am in panic mode!
