We received a letter yesterday, they were from last week. Nothing much, he still wasn't feeling good but making it through and told us not to worry. I looked into a flight for Christmas and they are over $1500.00!! Wow, I didn't expect them to be that much. Looks like Kevin and Kelsey will be driving down to pick him up since those prices are crazy. It wouldn't cost that much in gas to go to S.C. and back to MI. He will be driving his truck back down, he will be able to have it by then.
Wow, isn't it amazing that we only have 13 days left. Remember when we were at 47 days???? LOL
Captain's Cup will be won by Division 369 because they have and continue to do well!! So much to be proud of!!
Who will be making the Ramada Greet & Meet on Thursday night??? We will be arriving in the afternoon on Thursday and we are staying at the Ramada, it would make it that much easier so we did it. We will be taking the shuttle in the morning for PIR. Can't wait...................... -

Hi Sharon,
Congratulations on the up coming wedding, talk about exciting that is great news. We are driving from Cleveland Ohio to PIR, about 6 and 1/2 hours we can't leave until around 1:00 in the afternoon. We are bringing our daughter and 2 mos old Grandson, so hopefully it will be a good ride. We are staying at the Residence Inn so I can cook Thanksgiving early. on Sat, depending on how things go with Sweet Baby James and Grandpa's patience level I am going to try to make it to the meet and great. I am looking forward to meeting everyone, so I really hope all goes well. -

Thanks Sheila, It is a very busy time for us right now. So many changes and things to get in order. I think our trip will take us about 5 hours. It will be great to put faces to the many names. See you soon!!

That is an idea..since my son can't come home maybe he would like a Thanksgiving dinner on Sat. We are staying at the Residence Inn also...there are ovens in the rooms?? Maybe an idea instead of running around Chicage for the day...Thanks!!

okeemom we have a two bedroom suite and they have a kitchen we have two adult daughter and the baby figured it would be a good move with a new mom and a single sister, as far as oven and all that good stuff I am going to do half home cooked and half store bought as long as he gets my stuffing and sweet potatoes he doesn't care, oh he also requested BW3's for wings. LOL

Gee sounds good. We are at Residence Inn too, but not sure I'll cook too much. I still don't know how long we have together or if he's grad & go.

Just a hint, a lot of places have an order for thanksgiving dinner. You could call the area grocery stores and ask if they do that. Some may say no, but some may be all for it. Not sure on the expense but worth maybe getting a small turkey already made so you can just heat some other stuff up....

It was so awesome to be standing in Rite-Aid with Kelsey when my phone rings and it is Diego on the other end!! We run out of the store and back to the car so we have private time with him. We are so proud and excited for 369! I tear up when I think of every man who stands with our son, who works hard and they get the job done. They took the Captain's Cup, the Chant and another Flag!! It is an blessed Saturday that is for sure. We have only six days and we will be there to see, to hold, to kiss, to spend time with our guys!!! We were able to chat with me for a little over 25 minutes and it was so cool. It has placed a smile on my face that just won't go away. We are so proud of 369!! They just ROCK THE HOUSE!!!!!
