I just got home and got a letter!! I read it out loud the first time because our daughter wanted to hear what he said ( I had to clean it up a bit, lol) and by the end I was bawling! It is hard to hear that things are so hard for them, but I know it will only get better. He said that they started getting mail last week and be didn't get any and it made him a little sad. It makes me want to write him 3 times a day to make sure that doesn't happen again! All in all, he said it was in the up swing, so that is good news! And he also told me he looks sexy in his uniform, lol

That's soooooooo exciting! I can't wait to get home and check my mail box. I would die to get something. So sad he thought you weren't sending mail ;( That was my fear with mine because the damn form letter came so late! Happy for you girl! :) Now keep sending out those letters! I'm sure he'll understand once he sees you've been writing to him since the beginning! That's why i dated ALL my letters and kept complaining that I didn't have a form letter or address yet! YAY! :)

OK...I am still getting used to this site. It seems like it take me forever to get to where I want to be at times. Anywhoooo. Please friend me on here too in you want. I read some of you will be coming from PA. We will be coming from MD we have about a 12.5 hour drive. But it will be well worth it. I am anxiously waiting for the letter or another call. I am still holding to no news is good news. Many prayers for the SR in bootcamp, and especially those who are deployed. Talk to you all soon.

Hello all,
My Husband is at Great Lakes ship 14 Div 367. I got my first letter today and I'm so excited. It was short and more than a little depressing, but it's contact! Actually it sounded like a letter from a Wes Anderson movie. It began Hello Wife, and ended with Tomorrow we swim :) We've been together for over 11 year, though married for just a few months. This has been the longest we've gone without talking so just having a letter written by him has made me feel so much better! Is anyone here headed out to Biloxi Mississippi? Thats where we're going, even though we're trying to figure out the actual rules of housing. I'm really excited to meet everyone! Hope you're all hanging in there. This isn't easy but I just keep reminding myself it's so much worse for him!
Jane

Oh, FYI for those of you handling your SR's finances while they are away, my husband said that their first pay should be deposited on 10/15, so just a head's up!
