Letters

How many did you write while your significant other was in basic and AIT?
I feel like a nerd. He has only been gone 3 days and I have written around 5 letters. Connor has helped me write some so I don't know if I should count those lol

I wrote every single day..... never missed. So a TON!

My friend who is a marine out in CA thinks I am writing too many letters. That its no big deal that he is gone. Well it may not be but I miss him like crazy! Made me want to slap him. But i've been friends with him for 8 years so I can't stay mad lol

Every day at least once...sometimes if something happend after I had wrote the first one I'd write another one

DH said he had to do LOTS of sit ups to get my letters

Oh and FYI don't put girly kisses and stickers and such on the outside...they get a lot of hell for that and he will have to do double the situps/ pushups to get your letters.

I wasnt thinking of putting anything on the outside but thanks for the heads up.

Well I got just as many letters from DH..... so I'm sure he appreciates them.... even if they make him look like a love-sick puppy!

I got around 20-30 letters from DH he was busy so I know there wasn't alot of time to write but they meant the world to me...they still do I like to go back and read them every once in a while.

yep we saved all our letters!!! DH wrote me a poem and a song while he was gone.... and he can't even sing!

I have all the letters from bootcamp (the ones I sent him and the ones he sent me)

All the letters from his deployment the ones I wrote and the ones he wrote me. (although I only got two letters from him during the deployment).

I love letters.

I do too.... I used to get all chills and giddy when one came in the mail.... I miss that.... but I'm glad he is home.

We didn't go through boot camp together. But I have every letter from the 2 deployments!!!

I guess it is unanimous. Letters rock!

Okay. So the friend I was talking about ^. I was half mad at him because it was just frustrating that he really thought I was going overboard with letters and that it was completely unnecessary since he is "only at basic". He just sent me this message through facebook:
"Chris is lucky you know. I wonder what its like to have a woman who is
loyal. And loves me as much as I love her. And would do anything for me
same as I would for her. You two keep it going. Youre both lucky. Ttyl"
^He made me want to cry. Stupid emotions...

I wrote everyday. Sometimes twice a day. He LOVED getting letters.

There's no better feeling at that moment when you get your name called for mailcall.

I met him after.
