Missed Call

Every Sunday, I keep my phone close at hand, usually in the evening because that's when Blaine has called either his dad or me in the past. The battery is always fully charged, since the last time he called his mom, her phone was dead! Well, yesterday morning, my phone was on silent and in another room while I was editing some photos on the computer. John was taking a nap and his phone was in another room...I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF!!! I haven't gotten to speak to Blaine but once and he tried to call me yesterday. TWICE! He tried John's phone, TWICE! and neither of us heard our phone!!!

A little later on in the day, my mom called to let me know that she had talked to Blaine. He told her that he was getting yelled at a lot and having to do a lot of push-ups but he said he was prepared for all of that. He also told her he really likes it there! LOL That's my kid!

He also told asked his grandma to ask me to slow down the letter writing campaign. It wasn't that he didn't like getting the letters, it's that he was feeling a little guilty because he gets so many letters and there a lot of guys that don't get any mail at all. I left a message on his phone (hopefully he will get it) and told him to get me their names and maybe we could divert some of his letters to them. Again, that's my kid!

I will make sure that from now on, I have my phone on and with me and charged every day! I just hope I get the chance to talk to him soon!

And a huge Thank You to everyone who has written to Blaine. I know he appreciates it! I appreciate you all keeping him in your hearts!

Have I told you how proud I am of my soldier?!
