Hey ladies! so he is finally here!!!! I am so excited and the house WAS clean! After 4 bags and a 50 lb sea bag in the middle of the living room and him digging for civilian clothes it was soon messy. We will be headed out of town tomorrow morning to see his grandparents I have yet to meet. I got my military ID now so I am able to get on base and SHOP at the Nex!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and to those whose sailors aren't here I send thanks to you for your sacrifice.

HI everyone. I have not been on for a while so wanted to say Hi to everyone. I aqlso wanted to post this email so that everyone can vote
Hi, as you are aware our cause "Thank A Soldier" is in the top five in the Open web awards presented by Mashable & Motorla.

The first few days we were doing amazing in the votes but in the last two days we are getting out voted atleast by a four to one margin. There are no prizes in this awards just a chance to get our causes name out there and how important it is to show our men and women the gratitude they deserve.

It takes 10 seconds of your day to vote each day and I don't think that is much to ask when you consider what our men and women go through daily.

We are the only military related group in the top five and this is our big chance to help our group grow even more.

If You have a blog or website you can click on the PROMOTE option, then pick the category "Best Non Profit use of social media" and then select "Thank A Soldier" on the right side. You will be given HTML code to paste on your blog or website and it will take people automatically to the vote page.

Prayers going out to Seth and his family. Must be hard when they are so far away from home. Hope the Navy takes care of him.
Lynn, glad your sailor will be so close to home for a while. I don't know what the rules are there, Jenn did her A school in JAX, Pensacola was closed when she went through A school, but it isn't that far for a visit, I loved it when she was close, and then she stayed in JAX till 08, so I had her here for a long time.

I am so sorry for Seth my prayers go out to him and his family.

My deployed son emailed me this morning asking for prayers for a fellow sailor in his shop. He found out today his grandfather has passed away. Please lift up Seth and his familiy in prayer. Thanks!

Lynn, at least he gets winter in FL instead of summer and he got out of GL just in time before the cold really sets in. I've been an AE mom for over 6 years and I have no advice at all!! :) They are good people, good ones are very well respected. Tell him to work his butt off so he can first pick at orders!

Hi all.....Damien finally made it to P'cola on Friday (he is an AE). He did his ATT training in GL, now he is waiting to class up. I am hoping that he can have visitors on base during phase 1 since I am only in Tampa and being a teacher, I have a whole week off. He said he probably will not class up until after the holidays, which makes sense. I am assuming he will have INDOC this week....any advice for a new AE mom??? He was so glad to get out of GL, but he said that 5 minutes after being in P'cola, he remembered why he was glad to leave Florida....LOL!!!

Looks like everyone is making plans for the holiday, am so glad that so many will be spending time with their loved ones, and those that can not, keep in mind the job they are doing for us, and how very proud we are of them.
I will not see Jenn for Thanksgiving, but I am on my own countdown of 26 days till I see her. I am flying to SD to see her for xmas and will spend 12 glorious days with her. I am anxious to see for myself, how she is, this has been a long torturous journey for the mother of her sailor who isn't well and no closer to a diagnosis than we were when she was airlifted back to SD from her ship, almost 4 months ago now, so it will be good to see her myself. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Kelly I'll send up prayers that it all works out for you and your family to have that time together. So far it has worked out for my family to be together several times a year. Either us traveling or them. My deployed sailor will be home for Christmas and my daughter who teaches school in Montana will make it home too. I couldn't be happier. Both already have their tickets. So for Thanksgiving when it's just me and my husband I'm still cooking us a dinner and going to be thankful we will all be together for Christmas. Wishing you time with yours.

Hi All, Josh received his orders yesterday and is going to beautiful El Centro Ca LOL at least it is closer to home and two hours from San Diego. I also got some bad and some good news he was supposed to be home for Christmas and now he doesn't think he will be able to but he thinks he will be coming home in a couple of weeks right after his graduation so he will be able to spend time with my daughter while she is visiting too I will have both my kids here for a week.... I am not going to get my hopes up too much but it looks like it may happen. :) Happy Thanksgiving to All!
