  9. Ohmigosh that is wonderful. I wonder if he will be able to take pictures? This is so exciting.
    I saw on the news last night a young lady who received an invitation and when it was delivered, the mailman put it through the slot and guess what?

    Her dog ate it! She is hoping they will accept it in tiny little pieces.

  26. WowTerri, we saw that ball. That's the only one we watched. Woo-woo!

  27. I wondered if that was the one! Did you see him?

  28. I looked for Matt (6'5" and blond) but didn't see him! LOL

  29. You'd think he would be hard to miss, but the cameras were so busy waiting for the Obama's, couldn't see many of the servicepeople. They should have picked him to dance with Michelle, he would have matched her height better!

  30. Yeah, PJ, that would have been great!!!!
