I just realized I had already asked you earlier where you were from and you said FL. Guess both of our kids will have to learn to deal with cold weather. My daughter has lived in TX all her life. MartiB_TX

I've been busy watching my grandson as his parents were both sick with this stomach virus, and getting ready for Christmas so haven't been on as much lately. Yes, I did watch Craigs BC account and it was pretty interesting. Trying to make this Christmas special as we will not be seeing our daughter much this next year. Are you doing a going away party for your SR?

Are you ready for Tuesday? I realized that I am getting more nervous for her the closer the time went. I am more nervous than she is I think but she's always been a very calm person.

Haven't been able to do much with my daughter since I have the flu. I am hoping I will be well enough to go to MEPS on Tuesday. I am feeling better today so should be ok by Tuesday I think. She wanted to spend time with her husband and son anyway so I probably would not have seen that much of her anyway. Her husband will not go to MEPS since it is a 2 1/2 hour drive and his daughter is in school and needs to be home when she gets out of school. I doubt that we will go to boot camp graduation (PIR) but her husband is planning on going.

It was not bad tears - the SRs were so proud of themselves - I'm sappy sometimes and cry for happy things too - weddings, graduation, etc:)
