Well, yesterday I was so surprised to get 3 phone calls from Steven. That is very unusal, but I told him that I was in the hospital last week, so they gave him special privileges to call me back to find out the details. At the moment I am doing o.k., but may have to go back to the hospital to find out what is going on. I wanted to come home to ( Read more... )

Yeah! Steven called today. Gosh it was so good to hear his voice. He is doing awesome. He is now offically in AIT School. All right for great news. I also have to send him some new running shoes. I guess he ran the other ones right off his feet. I didn't get to talk to him long, but I could hear the strength and determination in his voice. I am so ( Read more... )

Well here it is another Sunday, waiting & wondering if Steven will get to call. I know it was either today or Monday that he will be going out in the field for 5 days for training, so he won't get my mail til after that. He also won't be able to write during that time. I hope that he was able to at least get one letter out before he went out in the ( Read more... )

Well here it is, only about two weeks from today and Steven will be done with basic training. Yeah! Then it is on to AIT School and after that he will be coming home. Gosh I can't wait. His spirits are way up in his last few letters. It is great hearing (or shall I say reading) positive things from him. He does have some homesickness right now, but ( Read more... )

Steven is doing awesome. He qualified sharpshooter, which gives him bonus points towards advancement in rank. I also received one of his pictures. I will get the rest of the package of pics when I get to see him, however, I am very content with the one I have for now. He looks awesome, not just because I am his mom, but you can tell that he has ( Read more... )

Today I realized how lucky Steven is. He found out before it was to late that the love of his life was only a fantasy in his mind. I realized that reading a "friends?" journal. Glad things are going good for her, but I hope someday she realizes the hurt she caused Steven. And with a little luck she will never have to feel what he had to endure. ( Read more... )

Good news from Steven this week. He is doing so good. Has passed all of his test so far. He has scored a 95% or better each time. I still miss him so much of course, but I am so proud of what he is doing and how well he is doing it. Steven is finally going for his dreams and that is awesome. I know he will be a great MP and Police Officer. I ( Read more... )

Hey! Steven is doing great. Received yet another long letter. He has taken over a minute off his mile run. That is great. Also is training is moving along great. He is very excited about the future he is going to build with his training from the military and the continuing his college. He will give some lucky girl a great life. All's I want is ( Read more... )

HI! Received another letter from Steven today. He is doing good. I am so proud of him, words could never express it to the fullest. I wish some of his friends would post comments to him, so that I could print them and send them to him. Guess you are all busy. I know he misses home alot. Take care.

Hi! Just a quick update on Steven. He misses everyone very much and says to tell everyone "hi". He is however, doing pretty good, just happens that he is homesick. That is a normal thing for anyone who goes far away from home for the first time. He is looking forward to getting throug with his training and being able to come home and chat for ( Read more... )
