Oh my goodness you just made me cry! Thank you soooo so much Apryl! You are officially the first person to 'sing' happy birthday to me! Haha and yes! It is such an awesome birthday gift knowing Steven is now a full fledged Marine, I'm so so so so proud of him! The only thing that will be better than that is getting to see him in a week! :] We're almost there!!! I can hardly believe it sometimes, it probably won't hit me until I'm in the car on the way down lol
Thank you so much again for the birthday wishes, I hope you also have a fantastic day!! :]]

I got the most AMAZING gift in the mail today!
Steven sent me his extra dog tags, two pages of Happy Birthday notes from the guys in the platoon, a picture a guy from the plt drew for me, a letter dated the 22nd and a list of 20 things he loves about me. Needless to say I'm soooo beyond ecstatic! :]
OH! And he was very proud to say that he ended up shooting expert rather than sharpshooter! So proud of him :]]
His timing is impeccable, that's exactly what I needed today :] Hope everyone has had a fantastic day!

AND BRENDA!! Your son wrote "Hey Amanda! It's Recruit Robinson, I believe you have communicated with my mom somehow cause she mentioned you!! Anyway, see you on graduation!! Happy 20th!"  Haha I just thought it was really cool so I thought I'd share :]]

Happy Belated Birthday Amanda!!! I have not been on the forum for awhile, just pre-occupied with the trip and all!! So glad Aaron was apart of your birthday greeting,     See you in 7 days Amanda!!

Amanda, WHAT AN AMAZING Birthday gift from Steven!!!!!! How thoughtful of him to send you his extra dog tags and to get everyone in the Plt. involved in sending you Birthday greetings!!!!!!!! The 20 things he loves about you is very very precious!!!!!!!!! Sounds like you have a real "keeper" in Steven!!!!!! I am so happy for you that you received all of that ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! AS I said above I hope your day was wonderful and that this next year is FULL of blessings for you!!!!!!
