My son and his gf are flying in from Atlanta and just found out plane lands 6;30 pm which is also the meet and greet.  Waaah !   With any luck I can scoot in towards the end...if I can negotiate Midway to Waukegan with speed.  At least our hotel is in Waukegan.

Kathyann...  thanks for the update. By PIR he ought to be one rock solid sailor eh ?  :-)

I don't know about all of you but I feel like I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Trying to pack for 5 people, plus not wanting to miss any posts on here, printing out all our travel info and directions, shopping as I am leaving two kids here (18,12), There doesn't seem to be enough time in the day. I remember thinking that this day would never come. and here I am now wanting it to slow down. UGH. LOL

I moved all my client lessons to the morning as well. Then she called during the last one! At 12 noon! It worked out ok- We said good-bye- she called the BF- I put horses away- She call back just as I got to my office so I could write down everything she wanted me to bring! Can't wait to see her Friday! See you all at the Meet & Greet Thursday! Good luck to all still waiting for their calls!

TY everyone! He just called.

Him:  Hi Mom...you want the bad news?

Me:  I'm a crisis therapist..I live for bad news. So sure Anthony...*sigh* lay it on me baby!

Him: I didn't pass my PFA. Want the good news?

Me: Oh sure, why not...dork! LOL

Him: I passed PFA and set a PR on my run! I do ------  ---- Thursday night with FIT and graduate with my Division. But I will be sitting in the stands. I may need a nap and Mountain Dew. Did you get my last letter where I talked about  my savings plan?

Me: Really? That's your worry?  Your savings plan? Good Lord kid! I have gained 5 lbs. and 10 wrinkles! And yes, got your letter. We are very proud of you!

 

So, I am carrying  my blue candle with me to Chicago. I doubt they will let me light it on the plane :).  I may bring it to the meet and greet Thursday night, and will keep (probably against hotel policy) burning until we leave for PIR Friday morning.

Kathy I will continue to burn my Blue candle until I leave for the airport in the morning for your SR and the others as well!

My daughter told me she would be up front because she is carrying a flag. Which is a good thing because she is so tiny. I would never find her if she was going to be in line. I really wish the rest of the day will fly by! I cant wait to get my call and fly out in the morning!

so here is an update on my SR:  last week, he missed PFA by three push ups. He spent a few days in IT, passed his push ups, sit ups, and then not his Run! He had previously passed his run "piece of cake". Anyway, he passed his run at 0430 today, and is participating in "the big test" tonight with some others who did not get to go with their Divisions, and another Division. RTC said he should have no problem, and be in his dress whites on Friday. SO my "I am a Sailor" call will come about the time our plane is landing in Chicago. I will have to change my message so that he knows we are "on our way"!   

  SO NOW I AM OFF TO GET ANOTHER BLUE CANDLE!  

Thanks so much for your prayers! See you all at the meet and greet!
