ok so last night and today were the worst days so far since brandon has been gone, except for the first few days of course. I have just been wanting to hear from him so badly to hear he is doing alright. So, of course after writing my discouraging post, my sister sent me a text saying I had not one but 2 letters from my wonderful husband. I feel like every time i hit a major low heavenly father (usually through brandon ;)) sends me a pick-me-up.
ok so his letters were really one LONG LONG letter that he had to send in two envelopes. It was 22 pages long - granted the pages were probably 1/4 - 1/2 the size of a normal sheet, so id say it was more like 10-11 pages.
Anyway, they didnt really get any personal time so he had to write after lights out, times where he was technically doing some kind of guard duty, and even in the bathroom. hahaha but I cant even tell you how much it meant to me today.
I hope everyone is writing him, cuz he said it was sad when the first batch of mail came and he didn't get anything, of course its probably because i hadn't received his address yet, and hopefully by now he has gotten all the letters I've sent.The last part of the letter was written on the 15th, so i'm hoping he got a bunch of stuff from everyone right after sending it. he told me about pretty much everything they have been up to so far. Most of it has been stuff he has found very exciting. they did some repelling, had their adventure in the gas chamber, and on monday were suppose to shoot live rounds out of their rifles. So, hopefully that went well.
Overall it seems like most of the time they get in trouble its not because of Brandon, which is awesome. Let's see what else, the food is good, he was kind of excited to get birthday cards, so hopefully everyone sent him some! i actually sent him a couple cuz i couldn't decide between funny or meaningful.
ok, well ill probably bring his letter to easter chicken and if anyone else got one I hope they will bring them as well so we can compare - of course i dont think everyone needs to share personal parts - obviously - but yeah no offense but im hoping my letter was the longest and there are more details in it I can share with everyone else than the other way around. call me selfish, but im his wife, so i get to do that hehehe!
well i think thats it for now, im distracted for some reason and cant think of what else from his letters are really important to write in here. he did say he wants pictures, and says hi to everyone, and wants to know how we are all doing.
just leave a comment if you have a question, or call me, i dunno, i'm sorry i'll get better about this reporting thing I promise!
