CoMom92: Thanks for your comment. I am glad it kept you warm. I look forward to meeting you and the other ladies this week.
I got some cuddleduds for Christmas. They are actually LONG which is nice for me because I am 5'9"
Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Ladies be by your phone division 47 and 48 both guys and girls are in ricky heaven and get to use phone and computers until 2100 Chicago time(he is not for sure on the time, he thinks it is until 2100)
Division 47 came in second on co-ed team and only lost by one point
Today was pretty exciting with our Sailors going to Ricky(Recruit) Heaven. I got to talk to my son multiple times. He got to call his friends, go on his facebook page, eat some pizza, play video games and have some relaxing time. I hope you all got to talk to your Sailors and get all your questions answered. It is to bad they missed captain cup by one point, but he said it was alot of fun.
Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to say how happy I am for you all and your Sailors!!! Have an absolutely wonderful time reuniting with your children! May PIR be a day you'll never forget! God bless you all!
Karen
Do you have any more updates on your son? I'd really like to know so I can keep praying for him & you. You will really be missed this weekend.
Nothing other than he is still on crutches. We were really hoping for a phone call over the weekend, but unfortunately did not receive one. I'm sure being separated from his division and knowing they are graduating without him is really tough. Any prayers you could lift for him for both emotional and physical healing would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
Karen, aka, Patrick's Mom: Remember you are one of us. Patrick will heal and finish bootcamp and you will get the "I am a Sailor Call". It will happen.
Thank you so much. Praying it will be sooner rather than later!!!
Ladies, It is Tueday night. I am flying out tomorrow morning to Milwaukee(flying into that airport instead of Chicago). If anyone needs to reach me, my cell is 623-332-9292. Hope to see everyone at Sarges.
