I aint been on here for awhile, but just updating. and yes Im gonna ramble on here!!!! I write my son at least one letter a week sometimes 2 - lol! and I get at least one back a week! He told me to keep writing cuz its the only thing that keeps him close to home! He said he did great on all his inspections and that he got his expert marksmanship ribbon for the 9mm! This mom taught him how to shoot the 9mm as I got him one for his HS graduation! I guess I did well!! One letter he said that he was made section leader he has to make sure his teams lockers and stuff are in check! The next letter he said that he is leading the division on some of their marches because the regular guy is gone alot. This made me even more proud than I was before!! JUST THINK LADIES ONLY 12 MORE DAYS and we get to see our babies!!! Bring lots of tissues! I am taking the Amtrak to Chicago for graduation I have alot of family in Chicago and used to ride the train alot when I was younger. Its not fun driving in Chicago its comparable to LA no fun at all!!! We have a room at the Ramada Waukegan Gurnee they had several rooms left when I booked mine It was like $80 a night but they also have free shuttle to and from graduation! Aaron told me he would be wearing his dress blues for graduation? He still didnt know how much time he would have after graduation but from there the plan is that he will go to San Antonio, TX for A-school!! Keep in touch ladies I know we dont know each other but we may be spending many years of hopes and dreams together! 12 Days!!!!!!! Now Im crying cuz I cant wait to see my boy!! <3
