I am working on a photo Andria! When it comes to that kind of stuff, I am very intimidated by computers. I tell my sons "that's what I have teenagers for!" They know it all! But then again I have to confess, that I remember being a teen when VCRs came out and my dad relied on me to program it!!!LOL!

P.S. I need the kleenex now listening to you describe the PIR!

Andria- wonderful description and I can't wait to experience it! Sounds very similar to my Air Force guy's grad, however it was in TX and very hot that day!
My recruit mentioned when I spoke to him that beginning this week he would be able to write on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. It's been 12 days since I received my last letter, so I am really looking forward to getting one soon!!!!
Do you think the call we got last week was the "I'm alive" call? According to my son, he didn't think so, but of course didn't know. He didn't know what I meant when I asked if this was the I'm alive call. He thought he might be able to call again in a couple of weeks.
And, YES! Only 32 days left! Downhill now for all of us!!!

I did get a letter on Thursday (which was written on 1/6, the prior Thurs). It ended strangely. He wrote"btw things are changing so that I can't send letters until Sunday". That kind of doesn't make sense, since at this point, Sunday is the only day I thought they could send out letters. My recruite apparently is somehow writing at night before he goes to sleep.

Thank you for that wonderful description, Andria! I like the idea of scarves so that we can recognize N4M's in the crowd- as Lorraine said, the bond and support here is special and I look forward to meeting all of you! I like red, but will wear whatever is decided upon. In about 32 days! I can't wait!

Sounds fun to do something. Would also help us see each other. What do you ladies think? I am assuming the graduation is indoors..??? Although, noticed somewhere that it said to dress warm. Is it inside or outside?
