Harold's graduation date has been set for
JULY 2, 2009!
This is a lot sooner than both he and I were expecting. I have received one phone call from him letting me know that he is doing well and that his training hasn't been as bad as he expected it to be. :) For now, we are just counting down the days until we can finally enjoy just being married! Spending the first months of our marriage with about 1200 miles between us has been very exhausting, and I'm ready for him to just come home!!
Also, I wanted to share that when Harold called me, he told me how much he appreciated the letters and cards he has received. Out of the 100 or so men and women in Harold's division, only 2 people (Harold and one other young man) had received mail so far...I am so frustrated by that!! Every one of those young men and women deserve support. They have chosen to give up at least four years of their lives to serve us and our country. The least anyone can do is simply thank them. So I am sending thank you notes with my letters to Harold now, for whomever he may choose to give them to. If anyone else is writing a letter or card to Harold, maybe you could take a little time and write out a little thank you for another of Harold's division. I know it would be appreciated.
:) Thank you for your support of Harold and I. This time would be much more of a burden without our friends and family.
