    If you go to the the events tab, there is a spot on there for Sarge's meet and greet.  It is at the Sundance Saloon. There is one for our time for Thursday Sept. 13th. Click on that and it will give you all the info. Make sure you RSVP to it so they have an idea on how many are attending.  Free food, lots of info and get to meet everyone.  I ordered the ribbons from Lala that everyone was talking about.  On one side it has Div 289 and on the other side is my sons name.  A lot of people wear the ribbons not only for support but to also let you find others in your childs division.  We are staying at the Courtyard Marriott and that is across the street from the Sundance Saloon.  On Sarge's site on here, it shows a map of the area and where the hotels are and the Sundance Saloon.  They have a taxi service that picks you up at your hotel and brings you there and back to your hotel again for a few bucks.  Not much at all.  It starts at 5:30.  Hope you can make it! 

    That is funny about the food!  My son always mentions the food in his letters and says how good it is!  At least we know they are eating good!  Southern cooking is the best though.  I know my son loves it!  He was probably one of the ones that said that!  They definitely need a sense of humor to get them through this.

    Thank you for the prayers.  Sorry to hear about your family member.  Sending prayers to you all also.  Boy, not been a good month! :(

    So looking forward to Sept. 14th!

    Hi! Just checking in to see how you're doing? How is your family member that is not feeling well doing? How are you holding up?

    Today is the first day that I have been home all day and didn't leave the house. Trying to get my 2 youngest ready for school on Thursday. These past few weeks have just flown by because of being so busy. I am happy about that. Still dealing with my husbands sick grandmother and my sick aunt.

    Can't believe that we will see our boys next week! I am so excited!

    Hope things are getting better on your end. Been keeping you in my prayers. Looking forward to meeting you next week.

    That is great that you are thinking about it so positive! You are right, the important thing is that you get to see him and see him graduate! I hope that your loved one is feeling better soon.

    Anxiously awaiting phone calls today! 1 more week! :)
