I have good news..:)
Just as I got on my fiance's facebook kind of pissed to possibly curse his mother out or just remove her from his page. She replied to message?? weird Idk what changed her mind because she is typically a bitch but I'm happy either way. I got his address, sending him a letter tomorrow.
Does anyone know if he has been granted time to write letters yet? He left on the Sept. 20th, and his grad date is Nov. 16th. I hear some people say 2nd Sunday they get to write? and then I've read the third week? which I hope not. I really couldn't stand expecting a letter from him almost a month after he's gone if he gets to write on the third week.
I want to feel connected to him again so bad, even talking his mother made me happy lol

This Sunday will be his third Sunday, I want a letter so bad.. (like a brat)
This girl I met on here, her bf left 09/11 and she got her first letter (14pgs) on 09/26
Obviously I know my man is not writing me 14 pages, he's not that much of a communicator. It's probably going to go something like this
Hey honey, I miss you. Love you..
I hope your speech went well, I'm sure you did great. Remember to check your Blood sugar, and eat more.
I'll write you again when I can..
Love,
Daniel
lol I hope he writes me at least two pages.

Search on here for a group called PIR 11/16. These are going to be a bunch of family and loved ones with recruits that all graduate the same day yours does. At the top of the group, there will be tons of info on what they do, when, what to expect and you'll also get to hear when everyone else starts getting letters. I do not know what i would have done without my pir group. You really bond with them since everyone is going through about the same thing at the same time.

Anyone whose ever been pregnant...
When did you give in and buy some maternity clothes? I can't fit into any of my jeans:( I'm such a jeans and t-shirt girl)
Increased sexual libido normal? I would think the last thing on my mind would be (well that)

I think with my first i was in my (baggy) jeans until i was 6 months. With my second, i was in maternity clothes at 4 months. Every woman and pregnancy is different just try to be comfy. Increase in libido-yes definitely. But my husband was home, so it was ok.

I know that you were still trying to figure everything out about PIR.... Now that you have his address you should ask him what he thinks is best. Of course he'll want you there... But since it's mostly for financial reasons maybe he'll offer to pitch in for the plane tickets? Or something, to make it more affordable for you to be able to go. I really hope you can work it out, it is such an incredible experience and especially when you have such exciting news to share!!

If it also doesn't affect my school schedule since I have 2 term papers, and another presentation around that time in Nov. I overestimated the cost, I might be able to swing for a flight, and my mom is helping with the hotel.
