My daughter, Katy is in the same ship and same DIV as your daughter! I wonder how many people are in their div....I am counting down until July 13th as well!! Any ideas on where to find the least expensive flights out there? I'm paying for 3 other people to go with me that my daughter put on her list, so it's getting quite expensive..about $400 per ticket flying out of Burbank or Los Angeles.

It's so refreshing to know I've found a mom of a daughter in Mari's division. From what I've read online, there are approximately 88 members per division. As far as airfare, I did a quick search on Southwest Airlines (iflyswa.com) and they have airfare flying out of LA on Wed, July 11th for $158 and returning on Saturday, July 14th for $214. I'm flying in on Wednesday just so that I'm well rested and have time to find out information on the next few days. I also plan to attend the Sarge's Meet and Greet on Thursday evening at 5:30pm. Let me know once you firm up your plans so we can maybe meet before hand. Have you had any contact with your daughter?

ok, that sounds great. And I love you're planning which includes the meet and Greet, I'll plan to be there early enough Thursday for that and would love to meet you!
No contact from my daughter, sadly. My fiance finally had a talk with me today about me and my phone's relationship getting out of hand, as we (my phone and I) are completely inseparable! I sleep, eat, work, work out, everything with my phone to ensure when her call comes I will not miss it. My daughter arrived at BC on the 16th so I don't expect to get a call for at least a couple of more weeks, but I hope I get one sooner. I also, jump up and run to the mailbox every day when the mail carrier comes....but still not letter from her. I do write to her every day and that helps, but I'm not loving this one way communication :(

Hi Ladies, My son Ryan is also in ship 11 div 213 so I assume they must be a co-ed div, or else he sent me the wrong info!
katysmom, I have just become attached to my phone as well
I own a salon and have been breaking my own rules and actually letting my phone ring while I am doing hair! I guess I can give it a rest for a few days?!? maybe not. This three weeks seems like forever and I thought I'd been doing pretty good up until today the next week or so is gonna drag, waiting for the phone call and letter. I have to say I feel a lot better visiting this site, it helps so much.

Feeling a lot of anxiety today. I really need to get some mail soon or I'm gonna scream. My heart is so heavy and this waiting period is driving me crazy! Any idea when we should be receiving our first piece of mail from them?

I was feeling anious all day yesterday as well! I saw a post from a mom in our PIR group who got a call from her SR for security info. She said they should be sending letters out this Sunday, so hopefully we will feel better next week when we finally hear how our kiddos are doing :)
