Wasn't that the most amazing thing you have ever been thru !!!!! My aunt kept telling me it was just like giving birth all over again only with out the cramps. We had such a great time with my daughter, I can't believe we get to do it again tomorrow. It took me a while but I got my flight changes and it only cost me another $100.00 for my husband and I.
I want to thank in advance everyone everyone who took pictures. I got a few, then 1 of my camera decided it didn't need to focus today, after that I was shaking and crying to much to see anything. I'm hopping sometime next to have a website to have everyone upload there pictures to share. if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I feel bad I didn't get to meet you guys,. I came down from up top a couple of times but there was WAY too many yellow scarves lol and I couldn't tell which group was my group. If you saw someone with brown boots on a white shirt and a little girl in a pink navy get up on searching around aimlessly, well that was me. Darlene made me a scarf and I never got it =( Bless her heart. It was an AMAZING couple of days. So sad to watch him get on his plane and leave again, but so happy he has his phone. He called me 7 times yesterday and texted me non stop in between. Took him 20 minutes to say goodnight lol. Hopefully it's alot easier from here on out. Still can't believe it came and went. Didn't seem like it'd ever get here.. and now it's over. I hope you all had a great experience as well =) which i'm sure you did

OH... those came out great.Thank you for posting them. I'm still looking for a website where everyone one can share all the photos we took over the weekend. I tried to take lots of pictures, and not just at the PIR. I have some from Chicago on Saturday, and at the airport on Saturday night. so anyone that had sailors going FL or TX I might have pictures for you.

Photo storage on line. I did some research and it looks like Snapfish.com will be our best bet. We can have the albums password protected and it's FREE. The only condition is to order something 1 a year and it could be as little as a print that costs 9 cents. If anyone finds anything better that PLEASE let me know. I'm going to do some more research and if I find anything different I'll posted it. I can't wait to see everyone's photos.

Thank you so much Tracy, it's a beautiful picture. I think any picture at this point is beautiful.
I started a album on snapfish.com. Anyone who took pictures can you post them there also please. This way we can all get high quality pictures. Email me and I'll give you the link. I have created a group room for the Graduation. When you post them on FB you have to do it with such a low resolution, and you can't blow them up.
