Jim's Party

Even though we had our first snowy day, the party must go on. Last night about 20 of us gathered together to wish Jim a night full of memories to remember us by as he ventures to Djibouti where he will faithfully serve his country. He hopes to return home by Christmas. Chris and I wanted to gather friends and give him a good send off and we weren't going to let the weather stop us! So off to Rum Runners we go to have some fun. All in all, it was a smaller turn out due to the weather, but still a great time was had by all. Jim was saluted, called on stage, cheered on, applauded and even audience people raised their glasses in respect to him. It was perfect. We all drank and had a great time and no night out would be complete without a trip to IHOP for some breakfast around 2am. I did good... I only cried once, when Jim got on stage and thanked Chris and I... he started tearing up and Chris teared up and it was more than I can handle. Jim has become one of my best friends over the last two years and is an always faithful, always funny, always dependable friend! Those who know him...all agree!
