not yet. I need to find one for my parents and the 3 of us. hoping to get one in the same place so we aren't scattered around. My husband and mom have to stay at the hotel during Graduation because my ex is on the list with myself, her sister and my father. But that is fine.

Hi all, Happy New Year! Did anyone else receive a phone call on Monday? I'm just really curious as to why our SR called. I don't know if he earned it and just did not say so, but said they were going to be very busy now the next few weeks. Please let me know if you also got calls or not. I'm kind of concerned and am wondering if he was supposed to be telling us bad news and didn't. My anxious mom side of me is taking over and it doesn't help any that he is my only child and I am always worried sick about him. Thank you and again Happy New Year!

Christina,
I got a call on Monday evening from my SR. He said his division was getting to call. He is in 75.I was surprised because he had called on Saturday. I heard 76 was also getting to call, but it sounds like not all of them got to call.

I wish I could have gotten a call. It is so hard for me to remember everything that we needed to talk to her about.
so glad you got your call

Hello Michaelsmom,
My husband and I just spent a week of vacation in Oregon (stayed at the base of Mount Hood) for a week and saw the entire area as well as traveling up to Seattle for a week. I have NEVER seen such greenery in my life and was in awe of the beauty! I found a piece of bark on the ground covered in an inch of moss and baggied it up to bring home and show the kids, because you just can't believe it unless you see it! I know there is a price to pay for that beauty with the rain, but I LOVE rain, so that didn't make me sad at all! :-) Nice to meet you!

Daniesmom, very pleased to meet you so happy you enjoyed our beautiful state I am rather bias on that subject I have been blessed to grow up here. We live in Southern Oregon. Sadly we are in a dry weather year while the midwest and east coast is getting lots of weather we are having none Crater Lake National Park normally has 70 inch of snow but this year it only has 4 inches pretty scary for summer fire season. Where are you from? getting very excited to for PIR.

TY for the note Michaelsmom. I grew up in Southern California (Orange County), and was relocated to Boulder, Colorado in 1995 right after my Recruit was born. We LOVE it here! It is definately dry here, but amazing and beautiful! Will you be able to travel to graduation? If so, will you be going to the Meet and Greet with Sarge as well? Hope so as I would love to meet you as well.
