((HUGS))) I am so very happy for you...and grateful to all who serve.
I love homecomings!
Thank you, kind Sir.
Uh-oh, sounds serious! Hope you like her....
Well, what we know of her, yes. Which is good since they are planning on getting married during the Thanksgiving break. Unfortunately there’s a minor wrinkle. Robert received a letter of invitation to apply to West Point, and one of the stipulation is that he cannot be married when he enrolls. What to do, what to do?
They are. Such joy that comes from being a grandparent.
