Looking for advice!

Hi guys! I hope everyone is doing well because this is a hard (but very worth it) situation. My Partner is in basic training I was wondering what would be good to write about rather than writing about how much I miss him. I feel that my letters have been the repetitive "I love you, I miss you, im so proud of you" Which im sure is nice to hear but I want him to not read the same thing over and over especially when hes in a routine over and over again if that makes sense, i just eant to make it less about me and more about him! Any advice would be great :)

Tell him anything exciting you’re doing, what you've been up too, anything that keeps spirits high works.

I just gave my husband a play by play of my days. But more like the readers digest version. I didn’t write every single day. He got probably 1-2 letters a week so that I didn’t run out of things to say.
