Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Good morning ladies of 818. Well I have 5 minutes before I head off to work and thought I would check in on everyone. What to wear....hhhhmmmm. I haven't even thought about that. It will probably be something comfortable if we have to sit in bleachers. My weather is suppose to be sunny.....yeah I am tired of the rain. Well all you lovely ladies have a great day and will check back in tonight. Love you all!

Oh darn. It's raining here. Guess I have to spend the day indoors. Hope I get some cleaning done in between chats.. Ha ha
But on the other hand if I'm going to be wearing a dress to PIR I better get some sun on these legs of mine. Oh boy you just can't win huh. Do I have big problems or what?

We'd BETTER all be sitting together at PIR. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Lydia everything is going to be OK. Keep tht positive karma going. They made it this far.
Kelly I went to Marshalls yesterday and acutally baught 2 dresses. I haven't been in a dress for years. But my mother and sister insisted that I wear a dress. Anyway I'm thinking it's going to be on the warm side at least I hope so because both dresses are sleeveless. OMG Me in heels. If you don't recognize me, I'll be the one walking a lttle funny and hopefully not falling. lol
