I don't think I will ever view checking the mail the same again! Gosh, I can't decide which is worse...no mail or those horrid white envelopes!
After receiving "not you" from both Durbin and Kirk; when last night I checked the mail because I was still waiting on a gift...there was another little envelope. I handed it to son while trying not to cry knowing that this was it for his academy dreams. He looked at. Held it up to the light. Turned it over in his hands a couple times. I asked him if he wanted to wait until later. He asked, "When later?" And after a shrug he opened it.
He received Congressman Foster's nomination to both AFA and USNA!
Good luck to all who are still waiting for nominations! If this doesn't kill us, I don't know what will...maybe (hopefully?) plebe or BCT summer!
