PIR is getting closer and closer for this PIR group. I still can't believe September is almost over, Here is just a heads up, I am working on the ribbons for your group to wear to PIR, I have several that I haven't received the payment for so if you ordered and forgot to send your payment please remember to do that :-) I will begin mailing the ribbons for this PIR group very soon. If you have any questions at all send me a message or a friend request and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks so much!!! I hope you all get some awesome letters and fantastic phone calls this week. If you haven't seen the Encouraging questionnaire I posted in the discussion be sure and check it out. This is a really good time to send it. It is funny and has a really encouraging paragraph in it about battle stations. You can even send a couple extras for them to share with their friends and they can fill it out and send it to their family. You guys are awesome, Thanks again, Lala

we bought a crucifix, with an anchor for the cross. It was beautiful sterling silver. Just remember it has to be smaller than the dogtags and must be silver or white gold. Or at least that is what we were told. Lots of others have bought watches in the past but it seems they take a beating once they start working. Some get phones and others laptops. I hope this helps ;-)

Hi everyone...Happy Monday....I was at my nephew's wedding ceremony when Daniel called...I missed his call....he called his girlfriend Steph...he knew it was his cousins wedding...my understanding is that YES they got an hour call...he intended to call me for 1/2 hour and Steph for 1/2 hour...I miss him so much!!! I received the same information that they have won all their flags...SO VERY PROUD OF OUR SR's...according to his girlfriend...he sounded strong and in her words "older"...I know he is dying for a Dunkin' Dounts coffee and a Subway sub...LOL...and Steph did say he was pretty sure they would get a call next Saturday....love to all my new Navy moms...can't wait to see you at PIR

Today was mail day for us!!! Woo hoo...my SR sounds upbeat. Said the division won 5 flags and a penant this past week. He said they can march by themselves and sing now too. Sounds like they are doing well! Already gave me his requests for what candy to bring him at PIR. Can't believe its only 15 more days. Getting more and more excited as the time goes :)
