I'm in Williston..about 4 hours away from Myrtle Beach. I'm sure Cody will love it there! He adapts very easily and doesn't meet a stranger!!!

Hi Lynn, where are you in SC? I am in Greensboro NC. My parents live in Myrtle Beach. My son loves it in Washington, I hope yours will too! He got there mid October.

My son just received his orders today and he will be stationed on the Lincoln. We live is SC so it will be a big change for him!! He is looking forward to it..I could tell by the sound of his voice. I am looking at it as I will get to take a trip to the west coast as I have never been there!! I am looking forward to becoming a part of your family. Happy Thanksgiving!

Whether your sailor is physically home with you or home in your hearts, may we all have a Blessed Thanksgiving. Safe journeys too!

Wow Cathy, reading your comment below made me soooo weepy, I know exactly how you feel. I worry about Joey the same way you do and the rest of the ladies. I too am soooo glad that we have each other on this site.

Thanksgiving will be hard, but Christmas without my son...I get teary just thinking about it. To overcome that feeling today, I used retail therapy. Bought a Santa hat, a stocking, a teeny tree and decorations, and lots of non meltable treats like Starbursts to fill the stocking. After I return from a trip I am taking over Thanksgiving, I will be baking some favorite cookies and fudge. At least picking out snacks that I know my son loves made me feel better while I was doing it. Geesh, he is only across the country right now. Who knows where they will be this time next year. Yikes, lots to get used to! Glad we have each other!

The holidays are just bringing out the mom in us, wanting our kids to be home with family, wanting them to be happy, and well fed! Derek said he does not have Thanksgiving off, he plans to go to Subway. He may just be saying that so I won't worry about him being alone! Dawn, seems there should be some way your daughter and get off to attend a wedding! Poor thing!

I think my daughter said something about them being done with their 2 week stint on the ship on Wednesday. Or perhaps she meant they had Thursday free. Not sure.
We are still hoping she will get leave at Christmas so she can be home for her big sister's wedding. She's a brides maid! But it doesn't look promising. Will be soo sad, as they are very close.

I live in Greensboro Wendy. My son is an AO. He is completing indoc, I think he said next week, and will return to his division. He really loves it in Washington, he says it's beautiful, and he would like to live there permanently. I hope Michael will be able to spend Thanksgiving with his girlfriend too.What happens if they stay on the ship does the galley provide a Thanksgiving meal for the sailors? Sorry to ask, maybe that is an abvious answer. Can you tell I am new to all this?! LOL
