Thank you for the good wished Mary and Rene. I hope Vikki has good luck also. Would sure give us all reason to break open a bottle and celebrate again!!! Just got done talking to ChrisA. I told him about the call I got from the investigator regarding his background check. He told me he is currently 3rd in his class!!!! Just wanted to brag a bit!!
Mary,
Sorry I don't know the date they graduate. I know he told me but I didn't commit it to long term memory. I have a problem with alot of that lately!!!!
Rene,
I think that is so cool that Jared got to take a look into our world!!!

Rene, that's so cool! Have Jared to look again before he leaves and then go intoduce himself to the Chrises when he gets back. I believe our guys grad "A" school on the 24th although Chris told me the 17th (April). Maybe Anna knows for sure.
Anna and Vikki, I do hope you both get some bites this week. Maybe with the bailouts beginning to trickle down the housing market will pick back up soon. Good luck to you both!

Rene,
And we all know that the circle of life goes on. Congratulations on your baby Grandson!! I am glad mom and baby are all well.
Vikki and Ann, two more showings scheduled for this week. I'm praying for some good news by the end of the week!!! Like an offer!!! I don't know if the sudden interest is because we lowered the price or just that, as you said Ann ,more people are out there looking now that the weather is getting nicer.
Oh, and I've seen the movie Phantom!! While on a field trip to New York City I had the chance of seeing the musical but then the adults had to go to another theater and I saw Les Mes. I absolutely loved that also. Such energy in the songs for sure.

Valerie,
My heart goes out to you my friend. I know this is a very sad time for you. It's been just under 1 year when my mom left us. I am so glad that Wes is able to come home. And in the midst of all this sadness I caught the good news that he is able to stay with the school!!! Now he will just have to wait for another class but that will be OK because he knows it is coming. I wish I could be there to help support you but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rene, Congratulations on the birth of your grandson! So they are doing well? Will you have time before Jared leaves to go see them? How is the father doing through this? I know, so many questions...I will try to find Phantom this weekend. I also did not realize that it was a movie/DVD now. That will be near the top of my "must do" list. Thank you for the recommendation. I hope you have had a good day.

{{{Valerie}}} my friend, :** ( I am so sorry all this is coming on you at once. I am also sorry for Wes having to make a choice but while he can not do anything for your Mom, I believe he would reget later, having made any other choice. Being there for HIS mother is as important as you being there for YOUR mother. You know the saying, "What goes around, comes around." Know that my heart is aching for you, believe me, I understand having to stand by and just watch as she slips away. My prayers are with you all, Valerie.
Huuuugg,
Mary

I didn't find much Anna. Most of the booths set up there were actually vendors wanting to sell insurance, military recruiters (including Chris' recruiter), law enforcement agencies and some health care providers looking for CNA's and LPN/RNs. Of course there were some of the local colleges there as well. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day.
I'm exhausted tonight but I hope to get back on tomorrow at lunch and see something about Rene's grandbaby. What a week of blessings for her!
G'night ladies, sleep well.
Mary
