!!!!Hey This is so cool!!!!! Our men are incredible!!!!GO 369!!!!!!!!!!
Hi ladies, sorry have not been on for a while..I had a hugh Cheerleading Exhibition this weekend being the Director can be very stressful but it's great fun!!! Then it was off to two different colleges to visit for my son for next year..and then brownies for my daughter...and then of course making costumes for the local Haunted house that we volunteer to help with. It's a crazy schedule but I love it and it keeps me busy. I'm busy writting letters inbetween my travels and praying every moment for my SR, Great news on the honors 369 Rocks!! and my prayers go out to all of you...you all inspire me with your faith. Im gonna share this with you my BFF gave it to me last year and it reminds me of all of you..how strong you all are for each other...

Our Dearest Lord, this much I pray
In Your heavenly name
Please bless my friends, in every way
For they have done the same
They’ve stood beside me, faithfully
They’ve been there through each storm
Their trust has filled the heart of me
With love, beyond the norm
My friends are angels, one and all
Each is special and kind
Because of them, I’m standing tall
Our lives are intertwined
In darkness, they have been my dawn
My will to trudge ahead
I pray their goodness carries on
By Your grace, they are led
From morning ‘til the starlight fades
Hold my friends in Your care
Let only sunlight touch their shades
Be their strength everywhere
Please, Lord, I ask you shine a light
Upon these precious dears
For they deserve the pure delight
They’ve brought me, o’er the years
Good news to share!! Diego and Kelsey will be getting married on 22 December!!! We spoke with our Pastor yesterday and he is honored to marry them. We didn't think it would be this soon, but this is what they both want and we have given them our blessings. It is hard because we have to do things in letters, but he will officially propose when we are there for PIR. So exciting for all of us! We planned a girls day of shopping today for an PIR outfit, but it has now turned into wedding shopping as well. It will be me, Kesley, her mom, our daughter, Kacy and my sister, Debbie. We have to realize that God is in total control and we are so blessed.
That's wonderful news! Have great fun shopping! Thanks be to God.
Sharon please know Diego "Must" have permission to marry between A-school, I am not sure about during. Please check this out since you would not want to schedule anything and then Heaven forbid need to cancel this. I an so happy for you though.

Blessed you truly are Sharon.
5 weeks have gone by! Hopefully we will get a phone call this weekend.
One would think that by now this far into bc EVERYONE would know they must hush or I would imagine they would be getting some very hateful stares by others!!
I got a letter today he made a lot of jokes in it. He said the RDCs think it is funny to throw the mail like they are ninja stars but he said it is kind of degrading because all these grown men are chasing letters on the floor but he said its funny at the same time. He said his Seamanship class teacher is FUNNY. So it sounds like they are just happy to be almost done with it and nothing is too hard anymore :)
Great day at church today...many prayers are being sent for the 369 to sail throught the next 18 days!! Now I am not the only one getting excited..everyone wants them all to do good!! With Gods help and prayers our SR will do a great job!!
Hye Christina- i know my hubby does not think that is funny... He is prob ready to explode if they are throwing mail! 18 more days!!!! i cant see any humor in that. yeah really degrading..... :/
i dont decorate the outside of his letters as i know they would prob laugh at him and that would send him through the roof!LOL!!! but only 18 more days!!!
Oh i don't decorate it either.. I don't want to be the cause of anything extra lol.. But my SR is the one that will find humor in anything.. But he thinks its degrading too but its worth it to get the letters... esp when there is not calls :(
I got a phone call!! He said that they are still the top division for the PIR and if they stay on top across the board they will be Hall of Fame Division :) if they stay on top their liberty is until 9pm that PIR weekend other wise normal liberty is until 7pm
