She opened it privately first. Her roommates knew she had it and were getting anxious to hear the news. She called home so she could read it to Tom and me first. I was out walking and Tom was at work, so they had to wait a bit. Finally we all got on the line together- and luckily it didn't take very long. She read us her letter and we all cried together - then she kept us on the phone while she went out and read it to her friends there. It was fun to hear the reaction- and Brittney got it on video. The night before she had been having pre-call jitters and hoping that she didn't get called to a particular area. She thought it would be kind of scary to go there. She shared that with Tom when she called him at work and knowing her, he guessed South America. Then when he got me on the phone he mentioned her experience from the night before, and knowing her, I guessed South America. The main reason she thought she might not like it there? The giant bugs she was imagining!
