Awww. That is really nice! I love it. Thank you for sharing.
The pics aren't that great I took them with my phone I will post more this evening!
Awww! I love it, a patriotic tree! Please post a pic so we can all see!
Ok so my house is now officially equipped with a tree... I guess my husband could read me better than I thought. When I got home from work and noticed he hadn't assembeled a tree he said that he had already been to Wal-Mart he just didn't know which one I would want! So we went and got one! We are very bad about just doing things without a plan and most the time it really surprises us with the turnout! I had 2 Navy ornaments and 2 ballerina ornaments so I put those on it while he was bringing in my huge tub full of decorations I asked what color we wanted (cause beleive me I think I have every color) we decided on this one set of blue and white while I was putting those on he says well here you need a little silver then we took a step back and he say no you need something else here try the red and before we knew it we had a complete patriotic tree lol! We love it! I want to get some pics on my lunch break so I can send them to Gar maybe they will get there in time!
FTLW, I LOVE that picture. I would love to be in that cabin. Of course in stead of the yellow lab, it should be black. lol Also, that song is one of my mom's favorite. she loves Karen Carpenter.
Have a great day all!
ProudofGar: I am not worried. The Lord has provided me a way to get there and he will take care of the rest. I love not worrying any more, lol.
Alright Anita!! I can picture the happy dance, lol. When I received my call from my SR, actually daddy did. We were in the park and he was talking to her and I was pouncing around like a puppy. "what is she saying", "is she ok?" It was really funny. Never too old to look silly. We were at the park and I didn't care who was looking.
Yah, Anita! Remember, it is an emotional rollercoaster at bootcamp...they are up, they are down, they are all around! But as they get closer to becoming sailors, it is good!
Off to get my sailor at the airport. Have a good day, all!
Thanks so much Proud Mom. I did read your email :-) I read them all and usually respond to all of them. I am so happy you love the ribbons. I hear from so so many people how the pictures don't come close to how good they look in person. I don't think I will ever be able to get pics that do. There is still plenty of time for this PIR group to order the ribbons and get them in time for PIR. I think most people are waiting until after Christmas to get their orders in and that is fine they will still get them in plenty of time. I appreciate all your kind words, Thanks again.
