Good morning friends! Lydia - GREAT idea on the shaving kit. Cody's neck is so broken out from shaving, so getting him a sensitive skin kit is a great idea. Thank you!
Anyone have an idea on how to get a base pass to pick up our boys? I talked with Cody on Saturday and he had no clue. We will be picking him up on Friday afternoon. Any thoughts?
Have a fantastic Monday. Hope you are able to maintain control knowing that your boys will be home in FIVE DAYS!!!! :)

Hi All, I wanted to put Matt's graduation announcement in our local newspaper but I couldn't find a template on this site. Has anyone seen one?

Hello Ladies!
Jerad bought his tickets to come home for Christmas He'll be here on the 17th and has to go back on the 1st. That is my birthday so he said he took the latest light he could get. LOL As for Christmas we have been trying to figure that out as well. Jerad bought one of the net books also thinking about an IPOD other that we're at a loss,

I didn't know Southwest was going to start flights to Charleston. That will be great. Isn't it nice that they can buy their own tickets though!
I was talking to Matt yesterday and he was saying that they were all supposed to be cleaning something, but he said there were so many people doing the cleaning, that a bunch of the div. 903 guys were just standing around watching. Definitely a change from GL! I'm glad they're there together, it's nice to have a friendly face around.

Hi All, Matt is taking holiday leave 12/17-1/1. I bought his airline tickets today. The airfare costs have certainly risen in the last 2 wks...paid $467 for the tickets. It was a lot cheaper for the flight home than for the flight back on New Years Day. I can't wait for Southwest to start up service in Charleston in March of next year.

Hi everyone! Ryan made it to Connnecticut on Tuesday. He will be coming home on Dec 16 & returning to CT on Dec 26th. I am so glad he will be home for Christmas, can't wait!! Marilyn, I know Ryan's ticket was about the same that Justin paid. Ryan said that was with his discount, so that sounds about right. Hope everyone is doing well. It was great meeting those of you who I did at PIR! Take care & talk to you soon!! ;-)

Are netbooks like cell phones with internet access? Silky long johns is a great idea, too, especially since Cody will remain in the Great Lakes through April.

Plastic covers for the dog tags is a great idea. I'm also thinking about getting Matt a new cover for his ipod, he doesn't like the old one he has. Also somebody somewhere said her son in Charleston was asking for "silky long johns" because it's pretty cold there too. I didn't realize they didn't have wifi in the dorms. Maybe a netbook would be the way to go.

Lydia - great ideas! Cody said the dorms (is this what they are called?) do not have internet access (not even wireless), so he was thinking about getting internet access on his cell phone so he could get a laptop and hook it up to his cell phone for internet access. I wonder if a netbook would be more feasible instead of a laptop. . .hm.

Good morning friends!!! Okay, I need some help and I wonder if you are in the same conundrum. What do you plan to get your boys for Christmas? Since they are limited with what they can take to A-School, I thought about getting Cody a new iPOD (his last one broke), plastic covers for his dog tags (they pull his chest hairs. . .ha ha!), and then I'm stuck. Any ideas ladies?
