Yeah,,,the whole smoking thing.. I am not happy about... Sandy, I am glad Ryan is trying to quit smoking. Daric has started smoking now that he is in Kuwait... I think it is awful that the military makes it so easy for them to smoke and chew... $3.00 a pack,, what is that about????
Also,, does he have a webcam on his computer? You can get one for $30 at Staples.. they work ok,, but you can see and hear on them through Skype, which is free!

How is every one? My son is doing well, he is underway on his first deployment.
He emails me once a week which is great. He is trying to quit smoking. I was so happy to hear that. Both his grandparents died from lung cancer.
Hope every one has great week

Hi all,
Ryan called, his step dad got to talk with him, I was at work. He and his girlfriend both decided it would best to go their seperate ways. He has been back at base for a week and I guess they did alot of talking and realized the difficulties they would face with her leaving for Army BC and him being underway. So my son did listen to his mother. He usually does after awhile. So any one else interested in the meeet and greet on the 18th? Just go to events and rsvp there.
I hope to see alot of VT Moms... every one have a great day.
Sandy

My daughter-in-law called the other nite, now Allen aka AJ was told now he might get stationed in GA. We will find out in 2-3 more wks. She just needs to get away from her parents and GA isn't far enough. Thus they are going to marriage counciling and now communication, they just need to get to know each other. KIDS, LOL.

How is every one? I haven't heard from Ryan since his last email a week ago.
I can't wait till he gets back to base in CT. Things here at home have changed. My husband Ryan's stepdad has been put on Admin. leave from his job. The company he has been working for 20 years this July decided to restructer his IT Dept. He was the director. I guess they wanted to do this with out him there. Like he would interfear with that process.
He is not even sure if they can find another place for him with in the company. The last 4 days have been stressfull, I also work for this company and returned to work on Friday knowing what was happening. Ryan would have been proud of me for the way I handled myself going back. I held my head high and did my job as if nothing had happened. My supervisors gave me alot of support.
I have not told Ryan this yet because he is underway and he needs to focus on his job. We will get through this and I am praying that things work out for my husband. I am also looking forward to meeting you other moms on the 21 in White river JCT for the meet and greet.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend

I finally got an email from Ryan, he sounds good. he is busy with finishing his quals and other things. He told me that the way his schedule looks he won't be home much until the end of the year. He gave his GF a dozen pink and lavender roses for valentines day. He is still planning to try and take leave in August to go see her graduate providing they are still together. He said he was leaving that up to her. I told him if he really likes her he shouldn't leave that kind of decision up to her it has to be made by both of them. I raised him better than that. I told him not to be a shmuck. So hopefully he will adjust his attitude and not leave it all up to her.
Hope all of you are doing well and having a good weekend

Hi Anita,
Ryan is not ready for that kind of committment so he has tells me. Things were really different back then, you stuck it out for better or worse. Today it is nothing for young couples to just want to call it quites or just don't want to take the time to get to know one another. I didn't marry my son's father for the reason that I knew in my heart it wouldn't last 6 months. I was right, he cheated on me and I booted his butt out after Ryan turned a year old. It is hard to get our children to understand that relationships are alot of give and take.
I am hoping Ryan will take my advise, he usually does.

Hi Sandy,
Hopefully Ryan will listen to you. Allen met his wife on line last May, met her in person. Went to her hometown 3 times everyother wkend. Was suppose to get married Oct 18 the day after Power School grad. They ended up getting Married July 17. Now they have to attend counciling. I always tell my kids don't go down the same path their father and I did. We dated for 2.5 months and got married. Thankfully it has been 23yrs. I was only 18 and my husband had just turned 19 2wks before. My son turned 19 2wks after their wedding and his wife turned 20 a month before. They did end up having a ceremony up hear for Allen's family.
