It has been quiet. And no phone calls for me this weekend. I hope and pray all of the divisions are coming together and working out the bugs so they can be successful!
We're 26 days from PIR! -

Yes, very quiet, no phone calls me for this weekend either. From what my SR said the next call will be a "congrats your SR will graduate PIR" type call or recording.
On another note, I did get two letters last Thursday, nothing new. Most of everything in the letter was what my SR discussed with me on last Tuesday's call. I do hope they start working together too.
We mailed out two Valentine Day Cards to our SR hopefully she gets it by or before Thursday's V-day!
I had a V-day idea for the SRs, but by the time I was about to coordinate it, it was too late. I was going to go to the elementary school she attended and have one of her prior teachers "adopt a soldier" sorta thing and have the kindergarden class send her Valentine cards supporting her and sending her funny little message written from the kids, thought it would be nice, but time passed me up. Oh well, moms feel free if you can find the time and do it quickly :-)

You could still have the Kindergarteners do the cards. They just wouldn't be for Valentine's Day. The last day they can mail them is Friday, March 1st, just to be safe!

On the side bar of the N4M page, does anyone know why the graduation date jumps to March 15. What happen March 8th?

Hi Mini,
Those sidebar items appear to be private events that individuals are organizing. Apparently no one from the March 8th PIR is organizing a specific event for those families outside of PIR.

Can anyone tell me what week this is for our SRs? My husband said they won't get anymore calls until after Week 5 so I'm curious as to what week we are actually in?

Good question, I'm not sure what week this is! When my daughter called last week she said they would not get another phone call for 3 weeks.
