Jaime who all are you waiting replies from??

I have a ton of people I am waiting for replies from....

Yeah, Randi is so great and cute! I hope she replies as soon as she gets the letter. I'm sure it would probably one of her first fan mails.

Urgh, only two, Shayla and Ashley P.

I HAVE written letters out to Hong, PAMA , Kelley, and Price but I wasn't going to send them until I got my replies and now things are looking... *sigh* down.

I'm sure Lau will be SUPER excited! I just hope you didn't use too many big words

ehh..Just send out those letters you have written! lol

Hopefully I can have my mom buy me stamps tomorrow while I am at school so I can send out a few letters on tuesday....I have already written out my letters to Natasha and Liz Green and have the envelopes ready I just need the stamps.

I am waiting on replies from Hollie Vise, Sam Peszek, Chellsie Memmel Monica Shoji, Ivana Hong, Randy Stageberg, Randi Lau, Alaina Johnson, Bridget Sloan, Amy Borsellino, Rachel York, Rebecca Bross and Tessa again...hopefully we will become penpals(!). I think thats it...thats off the top of my head.

OH YEAH i forgot in like july i wrote to RHIAN...still havent gotten a reply from her yet...

Yep..hopefully I can buy some stamps on monday or tuesday...I wrote my letter to Natasha last night...I wonder how long it takes mail to get to Hawaii?

Well, according to USPS.com, it takes 3 days from Minneapolis to Honolulu. So I'm guessing it shoudl get to Randi in 5 days. :smile:

That's AWESOME, Cody!!! Awww, I feel so left out now, maybe this week, huh? Keep a high-spirit!

Aww, that's sweet that you're writing to Randi, Meg.

Yeah, I'm so psyched about that it isn't even funny. And always go to keep a high spirit, they should come soon enough! :happy:

Wow. That's quite a big waiting list. Mine is as follows: Patterson (I doubt I'll ever get it though ), Priess, Bieger, Worley, Beers, Memmel, and Flohr. It's not that big, but it's a good group. :smile:

I would like to write more letters, but I have no stamps left and I'm flat out broke. Hopefully I get paid for my coaching job soon. But my boss lost my W-4's so hopefully he finds them fast. :laugh:

Heh. We are both awaiting Memmel replies.

IM GETTING IMPATIENT! lol....

i sent letters to spike, natasha and liz green today

how long did it take to get a reply from natasha cody?

Heh. Yep, we both would be awaiting Memmel replies.

Natasha's letter was the first I got from the second batch I sent out. Let me check when I sent them. *Goes checks* I sent Aug 30. and got a reply on Sept. 10. So that'd be 12 days total. The soonest I think I got a reply. So I'm predicting I'll get a reply next weekend. :smile:

But nothing for me the past two days, haven't been on to tell. :happy: Heck, there wasn't even any mail yesterday. Hopefully I get one soon, but I'm patient. Also, that's a good list of gymnasts you sent letters to, Megan. :smile:

I should senda letter to Megan to get her autograph. lol

ohh sweet. so hopefully i will get something from natasha next weekend. i am sooo impatient, i am waiting for sooo many replies too. so i get really disappointed when i go to the mailbox and dont find anything! lol

I should senda letter to Megan to get her autograph. lol

no thanks im not famous

I should anyway.

edit: wow, the wink smiley isnt active apparently? lol

ahhhh pretty sure me and tessa are going to be PEN PALS!!!!! she wrote backa gain...she said she loves reading the letters i send her and to write back again and send her a pic of me...so i did today!! ahh YAY HOW EXCITING! shes so cool.

Wow! Congrats to you, Megan! Pen pals with Tessa, that must be pretty darn awesome! Glad you two pretty much are pretty much pen pals! Congrats again! :smile:

I may have a pen-pal if Natasha asks to write back again. That'd be a pretty good sign, I think. That'd be so incredibly awesome if that happened to little ol' me. :happy: But no mail for me today. Oh well.

Yeah that would be cool Cody!!

Tessa actually wrote over a page to me...heres some parts of it...

"Hi Megan! Thank you so much for writing back to me. It was such a nice surprise. I really appreciate your letters. They are so fun to read."

"Maybe if you have time you could write back to me and send me a picture of you? You dont have to send an envelope but thanks for the thought. I got a lot of cool stamps my friend made me so I can use them."

The stamps she is talking about are of her! She used one to help seal the envelope from the letter. They are very cool!

Holy crap Megan!!! Geebus!!! Tessa really sounds like the coolest kid ever. She wants a picture of you? That's so sweet. It's so cute y'all are writing back and forth. Now you're pen pals with TWO of the most super sweetest gymnasts ever!!!! And she has her own legal stamps? That's awesome! I want some!!! Haha.

Hey Megan, I know you wrote to Shayla, I don't know if you wrote to Ashley, how long did it take to get a reply? Cause I'm getting sadly overly impatient. But I think that this Sunday it will be like a month since I've sent my letters.

I cant remember how long it took Shayla or Ashley to reply. That was summer '04...sorry!

Nothing for me today Now we must wait until monday.

Thanks Megan, and that sucks, but heck, you've gotten more letters than I have in the time I've sent mine. I think I'm sending the others Monday...

Nothing for me today!

*Sigh* Nothing from any gymnasts today. Oh well, I've survived this long. I think I can survive even longer. :happy:

But I did get a letter from Gustavus Aldophus College out in Minnesota. Seems to be a really nice college. And it has everything I'm currently looking for plus a gymnastics team. So yay!

Nothing for me today either poooopyyyyyyyyyyy!

And that makes three of us. It's been over a month, I think I'm just gonna give up.

Well I guess you gotta take into consideration that they are all busy with school now too...so yeah. dont give up hope jaime! lol

They just dont like you.

I finally realized how much gymnasts actually work since I got my coaching job. The highest level at my gym is a Level 6 and the coaches really push them. I can't imagine dong that for 4-8 hours like all International Elties do. I know when I work out hard for even an hour, I get tired and really don't like to do anything after. So I can see why it's taking a while. Plus, like Megan said, school doesn't really help at giving one more time. And it's also competition season, so that also doens't help.

And I'm quite sure that the gymnasts don't not like to get fanmail. And I'm quite sure they don't. Heck I'm sure love getting it from fans and don't hate them, especially like dedicated ones such as Jamie. And especially the Juniors I can imagine absolutely adore fanmail knowing that people actually like their gymnastics; that's a huge boost in my opinion.

And don't give up, Jamie. I'm also in that same boat on waiting. And I can imagine Megan is also on that boat as well. So pretty much just don't give up and tomorrow is just another day away and you never know, it may come tomorrow!
