You're not the only one who had trouble with GPS - after PIR our gps told us there were two Longhorn's and we chose the one closer only to arrive 16 miles to find no Longhorn so we had to drive 30 something miles then to the one I had googled originally!
We had a great time and I know she was just tickled that you came before she flew out!
We went back to hotel after leaving base and power napped for about 2 1/2 hrs. so we could get up and be there. We were told it would take 1 1/2 hrs. to get to Midway so we left hotel around 1:30 thinking we would arrive around 3 a.m. We were there just a few minutes after 2 beating the buses even. It was so great to see them come in! We left after flight and went back to nap again at hotel. It was worth the cirlces under the eyes!
Both Danielle and I looked all over the place for you and never got a chance to see you! After liberty call, it was wild! Just know that I was thinking of you and loooking for you because I would have loved to meet you and given a hug!
Just wanted to let you know, Iris. I heard back from Carolyn Rodgers, the girl whose address you gave me. What a treat! She wrote a nice long letter. Seems like a really nice girl. She asked me to write again, so I just mailed a letter today. Thanks so much for sharing her address with me! I need to go on the other PIR groups to remind them to share the "no mail" addresses with us so we can write.
You know, it was so much harder when my daughter was in...I don't know if it's because she went through first, becasue she is a young woman or WHAT!!!??? I miss the MESS outtah my son, but my worry level is so much lower...It's really hard though Momma! Hang in there we are almost there!!!
hello, i wanted to tell you that that we had prayer for you at church. Gods going to touch you. you know my daughter and son in law lived in Portland, OR. when they got sick they lived there for 7 years.we went and got her and brought her home in 2000 they love it there. its beauitful there have a bless day
No letter...I think your pics are okay as long as you manage your page and have your photos set to only be seen by your friends. I just went out and made sure my setting was correct.
Gotcha! I was lost trying to make sense between what you said and all the other comments and didn't make the connection!
I'll skip White Castle! I'm thinking my recruit is going to want a big, juicy steak!
I totally believe in the lots of fruits and vegetables diet for better health - I've seen it really work in cancer patients, too! I'm praying for you!
