Hey ! Not sure if you remember us we waited on the side walk with you the morning before graduation. Any ways just wanted to say hi! Hope all is well for you and your daughter!
hey girl just got on and read my message, I havnt bee o i a couple of days, i have some pictures on my face book look me up kathy cowart domingue leeds alabama send me a freinf request . ok well gotta catch up on every thing talk to you later
I had his cake done at a local bakery here in NY. I messaged Lala and mine are blue and gold!!! I didn't know what color I was getting. Where are you staying??
several of the ladies in our group seem to eat sweets when stressed lol, as do a lot of us. 2 or 3 of them in the same day bought Oreo's and were eating them and then a few others started wanting them and pretty soon almost everyone in our group was eating oreos. Next thing we knoew we were calling ourselves the Oreo Queens. And all queens need a sash right? lol The poster was made by "teachertoo" and she brought it to the meet n great. That is where the pics of the N4M's Oreo Queens pictures were taken. We had a very good time. It is better if you have someone in the group take charge an get everyone to go up to the front by the stage and tell who they are and a lil about their sailor.
I am doing all the ribbons in one division the same color unless someone requests something different. If someone wanted silver and I had already done all the others in gold and shipped them I can't change the color. So I will do my best to keep them all the same and so far all the div 266 are done in gold. If you know anyone else who wants ribbons please have them let me know asap on Friday. They need to be shipped by Friday afternoon so that we know they have time to arrive before they leave for PIR.
Hi Tina !! The meet and greet is 6-8pm thurs night at the ramada. We will probably be late getting there due to our flight. I also read that there is a large tent area that will be selling all navy gear and discounted tickets. Six flags was mentioned.
