Happy Easter everyone. The celebrating stopped at around 4 am this morning. Brandon told Crystal he was done and wanted a divorce, blaming her for not calling him a lot, and for not telling him everything she was doing...and he spent all of her money! He is a piece of work, and one twisted SOB.
I am here for her, all I can do. He took her high of being home and smashed it along with her heart.

8isenuff,
Tell your girl to ice her shins throughout the weekend and rest them as much as possible. Then tell her to be sure to stretch her leg muscles and do some warm up before her run. And the advice to take Advil or IB before hand is also a good idea. Hopefully, she will have no problems doing her run and then won't have to worry about if again for awhile. I hope and pray she does well. I know how we worry about them when they are facing these kind of challenges!!!!
blm,
Glad to hear preparations are going well. Sorry to hear your son got hurt. Hope getting to spend some time at home helps ease his pain.
Catsmom,
Tell SIL it's good to be there early. The first homecoming we went to for Chris, we got stuck in base traffic and were late. We missed watching the ship coming in!!! So happy you still have that smile!!!! By now I know you're hugging that girl tight!!!!

My son is in for Easter-he was recently blind sited by a breakup with his GF and I have been waiting for a hugs. He will be here till Monday. We all going for taste testing for wedding on Monday-we got choice from Daughter and finance on what to try-they are trusting our opinions. Picked out some invitations for her to pick from and that went well-she and finance have been very easy to please so far LOL
Her schooling in SD has been cancelled so not sure when she will be stateside again.
Happy and Blessed Easter everyone.

Anna,
So proud of Catherine!
8isenuff,
Sending prayers for our girl as the others have said...they are tough! I know they HATE going to medical, but maybe another trip there just to be safe? When she makes it through this, and I know she will...she will have even more confidence in herself--nothing she won't be able to do!
Catsmom,
Should be seeing the ship about now!! Woot Woot!!! When you come down from cloud nine...fill us in :-)
