**Update: David called twice on Sunday! I guess that more than made up for not getting to talk to him on his birthday! He wanted me to thank everyone who sent him birthday cards. He said he got about 20 cards and everyone in his barracks was wondering why he got so much mail! Thank you all so very much!! There is a possibility, due to his delay, that he will either graduate early or go to Georgia instead of Texas for his next training assignment. Seeing him sooner or having him closer...either is fine with me!! Hopefully, he will find out something this week. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. ~M **
Nineteen years ago today, you made me the happiest mama in the whole world. Today, you make me the proudest. I miss you, my precious boy, so much it makes my heart hurt and I love you bigger than the sky. I hope you have a wonderful day and maybe those drill sargents will go easy on you today and let you call home!!
I love you BIG!

Monica,
We hope you get that phone call too. Russ was never away from me much when he was in the Navy, but being away for what little he was, was always painful.

We're DTC this week!
Finally!
And one document I had we re-done, we didn't have to have re-done sigh, those extra two weeks with that one at the consulate just about killed me, and now we didn't need it.
Have a good one my friend.
