I agree, I told Sarah that we have to get a "professional" family pic done next time we are all together, in their uniforms is a great idea!!!!

I am weepy too! I think it's all that pride in my heart leaking out of my eyes!!! :-)

I can't believe its snowing here in Milwaukee today!!!! it's like a blizzard out there, we have had spring like weather for the last 2 1/2 weeks and I was so hoping it would stay that way until after our PIR!!  good news is Chicago's 10 day forecast says light snow maybe thursday only and temps in the 40's for the whole weekend.  Dress warm everyone!

I received a letter from Gill & Valente. Unfortunately, Gill was asmod back, but Valente will graduate with our Sailors on Friday. I have heard the name Miranda also, but I dont remember from where.

Joanne has talked about Miranda on here with me. Her son my husband and Miranda are like a trio at boot camp. Wish his mom knew about this site so she could be on here with us =).

I'm Joanne. We r from Ohio near cleveland. We are arriving there thursday sometime. We r from ohio so the weather doesn't really matter to us. We are used to crappy weather coming off lake erie. Its usually about the same as chicago sometimes. We have had a great winter so far so I can't complain. As long as its not too bad to travel. I will get there even if we have to sled dog & sled it the whole way!!! My son is in this division and I'm ashamed to say I haven't done any scarfs yet because I am so not crafty. I've been putting it off. Maybe sunday ill take a peek thru Joann fabrics and see if I can figure out something. To me that's just scary.

Joanne- you crack me up!!!! I can just picture you sliding in on a dog sled, lol

no worries about the scarf, Darlene was bringing a few extras (tell her to tag you one) and I may have an extra one too I'll bring. :-)   See ya soon!!!

For any newbies to this forum... our scarf color is bright yellow for div 071, and no specific color for the ribbons.

5 days and a wake up!!!!

Captain's cup competition today!!! Bring it home Sailors for 071!!!!!!    HOOYAH!

Haha our basset hound wouldn't appreciate being a sled dog for sure!! He would be the one riding while I pulled the sled. Ill attempt a scarf and let everyone know if its passable. If it isn't we have our shirts so it will be ok.
