Thanks, I had a great time talking to you too!
Anyone up for meeting for coffee on April 21, 9:00 a.m.? I will start a discussion (above) and will wait to plan for a location until we see who can make it.
Cathy, Thanks for joining me for coffee this morning. You're always so much fun to talk to. And I'm so glad your Tiger Cruise was a great time!
Good morning all. My daughter will be leaving April 17th. My son is leaving for the Air Force this Tuesday, March 20th. We live in Centennial.
I have so many questions. Would like to meet other moms here in Colorado.
Thank you for your help.

How did you change yours? I didn't see where we could. I would have if I had known how! duh.......tell me how and I'll add it to mine too.
I live in Woodland Park and our son is a MM torpedoman on the USS Jacksonville. I would still like to get a group together for coffee in this area. The price of gas limits my trips north a bit.
Two of us. . . interesting.
Well, I'm now a little different!
Hi again everyone, I have been absent for the most part for a while so I'm glad to hear from some of you. And welcome to new moms!
I can meet on the 17th at 9am if that turns out to be a good time for all.
