Yeah definitely! You and I can meet up at PIR? I'm going in with his parents, but i'm an extra, so I may or may not be inside, but i'll give you my cell # and then text you to let you know if i'm in or not, I won't be too hard to find. 5'10" tall, blonde hair, white hemp necklace. :) I'll be clinging to C too, so I understand. My family is staying at the Red Carpet, his is staying at Ramada.
OMG!!:) THAT'S SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!:D
Gosh..that's crazy. I guess that means we'll have to meet at PIR or something!! What hotel are you staying at? Mine is the Red Carpet.
this is the best - to know that he's actually meeting people!
I can't wait to get a letter from C to see if he says anything about it!
Just received my first letter from my daughter. Was so excited. Was so funny that I woke up this morning thinking I was talking to her on the phone and then to get home and have the letter. Made my day.
Oh ! I know the letters definitely get to you!!:) it's awesome to send em out though. i sent out my first letter today as well!:) i'm hoping he put me down for PIR. but he has alot of family, so i understand if he didn't.
hey lovinmysailor, i'm nicole:) and yeah!!:D he's division 307! it's awesome to finally meet another girlfriend!! have you recieved a letter yet?! i got my first one yesterday, division 307 according to my boyfriend kinda sucks, no one can seem to follow directions, including my boyfriend!! haha.
The Meet & Greet is hosted by the Ramada Inn, anyone is welcomed to come (any age too) and it's free. You don't have to be a guest at that motel, but if you are staying there, you receive a couple of free drink coupons (stronger than soda drinks!). It's a casual mixer thats designed to let families and friends of graduating sailors meet each other - which after 8 weeks chatting on N4M with your PIR group, is a great thing, because these women become your family and it's awesome to finally meet them!
