Hi everyone....Only 31 more days. Looks like we are going with the navy blue for our division scarves. I am hoping we get another phone call before PIR. Is everyone going to PIR? We are driving from Florida. I hope there is no snow at that time. Did you know that our PIR weekend is Superbowl weekend and it is in Indiana? That is pretty close to Chicago someone told me. I have no idea as I have never been to either place.

I hope we get a phone call, we haven't had one yet :( We are driving in from Arizona, and also hoping for not much snow! I am a little worried about driving through any mountains, but not sure what the route will be for here. We were just talking about Super Bowl too! It's going to be the first time in abot 15 years we havent watched it at home with the family! Eljac depending on the route you take, you may pass right through Indianapolis, which is pretty much right in the middle of Indiana. My sister in law lives about an hour north of Indianapolis and she says she is about 4 hours from Chicago, so it is fairly close I guess! We are all rooting for the Packers to make it to Supe Bowl! Just randomly when my son was abut 5 he started liking them a lot and has been a huge Cheese Head ever since!

I'm thinking we'll get a call from our SR's once they pass battle stations (the I'm a sailor call).
I wouldn't miss PIR for the world. I am flying in Thursday afternoon and then renting a car and driving up to GL. Hoping that there is no flight delays because of bad weather. Still debating between renting a cheap economy car or forking out the money and getting a 4wd just in case.

Hi everyone...I have to buy a scarf so I guess it will be whatever color blue I can find. Will look for dark or navy blue.
Alicia...I am not sure if we go through Indiana or not. I have left the driving to my husband. I am worried about the weather. I hope it does not snow. But I am so excited about going that I don't really care about anything getting in the way. I will get there.
Thanks all for trying to win the trivia. Maybe next week.

I got much closer this week to winning. This week i was #18! My little sister also does the trivia because she knows how much i want to see my SR! Maybe i can talk my husband into letting me upgrade my internet speed so i can win. ;)

Hey. I was wondering if you all wanted to team up with Ship 12 DIV 054 (since they're brother divisions) and wear the same color scarf? - Just an idea. Let me know. Thanks all! <3
