Well, things are looking up! I got another letter from Brandon on Saturday, and he got the letters and cards everyone sent for his birthday on the 18th! So, thank you so much it really lifted his spirits. He informed us (well his mom really) that his graduation will be on the 8th and 9th of June, and anyone who wants to come is welcome! The 8th is a family day, then the graduation is the evening of the 9th. He is thinking he will get to spend time with me/whomever else comes, during the day on the 8th, and the night of the 9th after the ceremony.
I booked my plane ticket, hotel, and rental car today for the trip. I'm so excited!! The only unexciting thing is you have to be over 25 to rent a car without an additional fee - so lame! One more year and then maybe, just maybe the world will finally accept that I'm an adult.
Brandon's letter said his ankle is feeling better, and he is doing really well. He looks forward to sundays more now than I think he ever did while he was home. He requested pictures and hopes everyone is doing well.
I started typing up his letters, maybe someday I'll make them into some kind of book, but for now it is just a fail safe in case anything happens to the originals. So, if you didn't get to read them, and would like to - let me know and I can email them to you :)
WOW....That was quick...I need to get a letter in the mail to him ASAP.....Will do it in the next 24 hours! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteWe got a letter today too! Sounds like he is doing good. He loved getting all the B-Day cards/letters. He must be dying for letters, he asked a bunch of questions at the end to make sure that we'd write back. Hehe.
