Someone asked me at graduation for a copy of the CD I made for our PIR dinner. I immediately forgot who it was and where I was supposed to drop it off. If it was YOU, please PM me and I'll get one in the mail. I am so sorry. It was not intentional.

Hey everyone !!
I don't have much time right now, but will post again soon.
My question - Does anyone know the price of the yearbook??
I have a debit on my bank statement for $272.80 !!! And the
yearbook order is the only thing not accounted for yet ..
If that is the price, I never dreamed they would be that expensive...

I am 50 minutes from dropping Jamie off for the last time this visit. It's killing me. I watched him say goodbye to his dad and stepmom this morning and had to walk away! I can't imagine how bad this is going to be.
He looks SO good in his uniform. It's like the Navy took away all the bad parts ad left the parts that I love so much!
I will post pix when I get home tomorrow. I SO enjoyed meeting all of you
