So, I was sitting around playing on my PS2 (Okami)... when my Dad comes up stairs holding an envelope.... !!!! DB has been gone one week today, and I've already got mail!!! Well, my hands were shaking sooo bad, and I really just wanted it open, but wanted to cut it open neatly with a knife. I had to ask Dad to do it for me >w<

Anyways, I was a little bummed, because it turned out to be one of those letters from the captain, talking about supporting our recruits, his address, and saying we'll be getting a graduation package 4 weeks before the actually ceremony. Which is good and all, getting info... and I heard that mostly only family members get those letters, so I'm happy that he sent me one... but I'm reading through it all, and at the bottom of the last page I see something handwritten!! It says. "Recruit's comments:" So DB jammed in as much as he could on the 3 lines they give you! :blush(L)(L)(L):smitten I've been re-reading it since I got it :lol It's just so nice to hear that he misses me, loves me, etcetc... Heheh he says it's pretty boring right now, not too difficult- lots of paperwork and drilling. Said he can call me soon! So happy! Thanks for listening to me ramble! Hope you ladies are all having a good day!

:yay how exciting!!!

HA, the form letters are always fun. On DF's it said "the army will send you back a truly qualified ranger" or something. I was entertained. The first piece of mail is always the best. Any little contact is better then nothing!

As bummed as it is... You have his address now!!! Now you can start mailing to him!!!

Stalking my mailbox worked. I got a letter. It was postmarked the 25th...so didnt take long at all.

Yeah thats the standard first one you get. I didnt get DB's it actually went to his mom and dad and they called me over there and at the end of it, it said please tell holly I love and miss her so much. :) it was cute... then about two weeks after that was when I got my real one! So be patient the good ones will come shortly

:yay:wub
