First Phone Call!!!

Last night, I got a voicemail without getting a missed call, and even thought I don't usually check my voicemail at all, I decided to check it immediately. Well, it was Mike, sadly wondering why my phone was off. It WASN'T off, but I had been driving through a mountain pass in Vermont where there was no service. I basically had a heart attack, so upset at thinking i'd missed his call when its 3 weeks in and I have yet to even get a letter! So I called his mom, who was luckily on the phone with him, and told him to call me back. A few minutes later he rang again, and I had service enough that we got to talk for like 5 minutes before he had to go! He said he is doing well even though they beat them up pretty much every day, and that he loves me and reads my letters every night before bed :) I feel SO much better, I can't believe I had started to forget what his voice sounds like. Only 35 days left to boot camp, not that long til we see each other at graduation. I am SO SO SO glad about this phone call, I remembered all the stories I had heard from my fellow NAVY ladies about times they missed their man's call and were so upset..I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't gotten to talk to him! He said his mom got a lot of letters at once, finally, and that I should have 3 waiting for me when I get home from Vermont tomorrow :) Thank you all for your support when I was freaking out about the letters, and I hope my phone call good luck spreads to you and you all hear from your honey sooner rather than later <3 be well, one day longer = one day stronger! <3
