I am expecting a letter today! We talked to our daughter yesterday morning and she said their first letters were written on Sunday, and she had received our first batch of letters Sunday too. I'm hoping we can keep her getting letter every day from here on out. She said they were so excited to get mail and they read and reread each others letters and she said her friend from Missouri's mom and I sounded a lot alike. Any moms in this group from Missouri with a daughter in 052? It was good to hear she had a friend supporting her there!

Yay! So exciting! When we talked to our SR on Tuesday it sounded like it really lifted her spirits to know we had our tickets. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

I received my letter yesterday, and it was so good to hear from him!! He passed his swimming, push-up, and sit-ups test but not the running, I knew this would be the hardest for him but I'm positive that he will get it soon. I'm a little broken hearted though, he said that he hasn't received any mail yet,but some of the recruits had gotten mail and he didn't have anything to read at night... I checked the address several times and I'm sending it right, maybe he has received something since he wrote home. He told me if for some reason they were returned to me to keep them for him because he would still love to read them. I have wrote every single day from the day he left!!

My daughter was the same way, she said she missed the running by seconds...she was pretty bummed about that. When I talked to her on Tuesday she said they had their first chance to write Sunday, and Monday was the first night they got mail, so she had just received their first batch of letters so I'm sure he has received yours by now. She said she got 8 the first delivery, so it was like all of ours had just been sitting there waiting to be delivered. Hang in there mom, the delay is killing me too but soon we'll be all caught up!

Thanks!!! I can't wait for a call!

Did you get a call today? We got another one, I was shocked and so excited at the same time! The connection was horrible though, she had to hang up twice and try a different phone so that cut into our time :(

I got a call yesterday (Saturday), we got to talk about 40 minutes, now I have to refill his phone card :)

I need to too! I sent her with 2 and she is now on her second one. There is no way they were 150 minutes each card! (my husband told me that....I didn't believe him!)

, he talked with me for 40, and his grandma for a few, not sure how long. He also had tried calling his daddy and brother and they didn't answer, but the card takes .49 to connect,... anyways after 4 connections and talking to me and his grandma, he had $1.09 left on a $10.00 card. I called and refilled it today and put $20.00 on it. I didn't want for him to get to call and have no minutes. I 'm not sure how those minutes and dollar amounts work, but it's not exactly how we think..lol

Got a call from my son today. Was able to speak with him about 35 minutes. It was so nice hearing from him. Found out he had all 4 of his wisdom teeth pulled and was in SIQ for 4 days. They also gave him medication for bronchitis. He still sounded a little stuffy but seemed to be in good spirits. He said food is good except the eggs and bread...lol...we are going to make every effort to be there for Christmas, I can't wait to see him!

My daughter sounded stuffy today too! She thought it was from all the shots they have been given. I hope your sailor is feeling better soon!
