New Friends...

It has been a very interesting couple of days for me. Yesterday I went out to dinner with my step-sister and her friend after making or attempting to make flowers out of plastic spoons. (yes it is possible and they are really cool). Anyway while I was at dinner I got a friend request from someone who's husband is in the same group as Skyeler at basic. They are actually friends and the only reason why I continued to look into this friend request is because I recognized the last name from one of Skyeler's letters.
yesterday I was also trying to find anything I can about basic after talking to my step-brother and him mentioning you can find facebook pages about certain companies at basic. So I found a couple of sites and met another friend who's husband is also in the same group as Skyeler.
Technology is amazing and I am very blessed to have it. I have been able to find friends who understand what I'm going through right now because they are experiencing the exact same thing. I have also been able to find information and so I'm not so worried or confused about what is going on or what to expect. Why I didn't find out about this earlier who knows but I'm glad that I have found out about it now instead of after it is all over with and wishing I knew about it.
Nothing new about Skyeler.... I am just waiting for another letter. I send him my stack of letters on Wednesday (I had 12 letters and 2 birthday cards, Plus a letter from his cousin who is serving in Finland). I think he will be quite happy when he gets that. But I have heard that for every letter it is 10 push-up and more if it is on colored paper or the envelope is all girly looking. :) That means I have caused him at least 120 push-up. I wonder how many push-ups it is for birthday cards because in the same envelope dad and Kandie sent one to so that is technically 3 birthday cards..... Guess we'll find out later.
