Counting the days. 5 weeks from tomorrow. So nice to keep in touch with all of you for encouragement. My SR tells me she will leave on the 14th for "A" School, so our visit will be brief, but we'll take what we can get. We are so proud of her.

Missing my daughter immensely. School Shopping was always one of my favorite times together and I find myself on Hollister/Aero/Dillards websites looking for things she will "need" then I realize.... she doesn't need anything.
My hubby of course likes that the $800-1000 usually spent on school stuff will stay in the bank this year LOL. Told him no way... that money is going to DISNEY with me!Thank goodness for the FB page though. Instant connection with other 9/13 PIR families is awesome.

I think if we take a Disney trip this spring/early summer he will get to spend $$ by going to Sun & Fun (Airshow) the same trip. That way I get my Disney fix and he will get his Airshow fix. =)

I got TWO LETTERS!!
She sounds good - Maybe a bit weepy in places but overall good. Says someone went home in Div 349 for being pregnant!
Says she is eating her greens and five meds for an infection (doesn't say what type) and anemia.
Looking for 349/350 girls with the last names beginning P, H, K, and D. If your kiddo has a last name starting with one of those letters please PM me and I'll tell you if my daughter mentioned yours.
I'm giddy with excitement from hearing from her... FINALLY! -

Got another letter from my daughter today it was written over a week ago but was so sad. She seems really sad and home sick. It breaks my heart. Have had such a rough week I just want to jump in the car and go get her.
If you are from Michigan and your daughters last name starts withD and first name with J are daughters are bunk mates. -

We have only gotten one letter from our daughter and every other words were "I miss". Reading it a was tough, but so is she and she'll get through it. We've got to remember that this is a short period in an outstanding career choice. Right? I think the toughest part is not being able to communicate at the drop of a pin and not knowing what's going on with them from one minute to the next.
We did not get our phone call last week like many did because our SR was in medical. We were planning on camping with a group this weekend, but where we go has lousy phone service, so we have opted to stay home in case she gets to call home this weekend. I can't wait to hear her voice.
