Glad you got your hotel, we got ours to at Residence Inn, hoping we get to the Ramada for their meet n greet my daughters boyfriend in flying in from SanDiego and doesnt land till 5 then we-ve got that hour drive up. Anyway, I am sure we will meet.
A friend of mine also suggested to bring a small state flag for PIR so they can see a good representation of where are Sailors are hailing from, I should be getting mine in the mail tomorrow.'One more thing, I can't get rid of my group ship11/121 off my page, do you know how to do that? Thanks

Where's the residence inn located? What nights did you book the hotel for? I'm getting real excited about graduation. I have a feeling we'll be getting letters hopefully some time this week:) Let's think good thoughts! Where did you get your state flag from? That's a good idea!
If you go to your discussion under the pir 4/8/2011 group, at the top it'll have options click on that you'll see delete discussion which is the 4th one. Let me know. I'm sending you a message, too!

Its great to see that one letter at the bottom of the mail box and know, its the letter! I have it with me continously safe and warm! I wonder too what he is up to. I like to see the daily pics that NRTC shows, and hoping I get to see a glimpse of my son. its still good to know this will make him think, that the world is not about having fun, but responsiblity to others now. to take care of us and to guard us...in so many ways. I love you my son.
