Hope everyone had an okay week.....another one down!!! :o)Navy Strong Moms!!

Thats exactly the question that I have been asking myself!
I received a phone call from my SR (for business purposes only) this week and he told me that they haven't
been able to mail out anything yet. He said hopefully by next week, we should receive some mail. HOPEFULLY!!! :)

No letter for me today. I know from my son's phone call last Saturday that he has written several letters. Just not sure they have been aloud to mail them prior to Sunday. Was so sure one would come today, but there's always tomorrow. ;) Would must better like a phone call, keeping fingers crossed we get that instead of the mail!

I am glad that they are graduating Thanksgiving week since we will get more time with them. We are staying at the Residence Inn. Our room has a full kitchen, but I was thinking of doing Thanksgiving at Cracker Barrel or getting it to go. Still undecided! What are you planning to do?

In sure hell be tired and want to relax too tho. But we will be there all weekend so if not thanksgiving we can meet up for pizza or something a later day , or any ideas. :)

I spoke to the recruiter today, he couldn't believe we had a 43 minute phone call last weekend. He said its because they are div 903. I hope we get another long call tomorrow! He thinks they may have chosen him for this division because he is tall.

Thats so wonderful, I had a 45mins phone call with my SR, and he even got to call his parents as well, don't know how long that phone call was though. But it was an awesome 45min chat :)
Hopefully they call today; soon, i haven't left my home all day today !!
