Any recommendations on where to stay for grad...?
Glad to know that I am not the only one that still thinks he is "still my little baby" and not an adult. I tell my son, "moms always worry".
lol! I love these little blogs. Makes me realize that I am, afterall, a normal mom. So next time my daughter says "Mom, I'm just doing my job" as she deploys out to get the boogyman on her big bad destroyer, I'll be sure to reply "Yes, and so am I."
LOL I am still hoping they teach my kid how to look both ways before crossing a street!
That is funny!
I did almost the same thing: When my son got back from iraq, he had a lot of money in the bank. Of course, one of his primary purchases was a new car (BRAND NEW 2009) He had never before owned a car and actually just got his drivers l…
lol, have a great w/e
too funny - thanks for sharing!
Even the fact that your son went with his wife let's us know that he is old enough to know how to "be careful"!!
I guess we NEVER stop being Mommys!!
While on leave, my son and his wife went to the beach. He called to tell me they were going snorkeling.....
I actually replied with "Be careful out there in the water" - His reply....Mom, the Navy has taught me a little about the ocean.
I finally learned all the words to Anchors Aweigh - I suprised my family by singing it and actually knowing the correct words - My son always tells me he could explain but then he'd have to kill me...just a joke!
This is so funny, I wear Navy everything....and my kids think I'm a dork! I have Navy t-shirt, sweat shirts/pants and a large assorment of caps. A doctor at the hospital thought I was a Navy seal one day when I was wearing navy sweats with reflectiv…
The first phone call is very emotional for all. My son has been in 16 years now, he joined when he was 19 - every phone call is a pleasure! I'm pround of all the sailors who are serving our country, your included! Hang in there. Mine left a little b…
I found the coolest solar light for my garden. It was at Ace Hardware - It is a rock with the Navy logo on it with to US flags on either side. It glows the Navy logo at night. It was only $15.00 - they also had Marines, Air Force and Army.

- Hi, Donna. Thanks for your warm welcome when I first joined Navy for Mom's. My son is at Great Lakes boot camp. It's almost been 4 weeks, and we finally received a letter today from him. We were so excited to finally have some contact with him. So you lived in Houston. We live in Victoria about 120 miles south of Houston. The only time we go to Houston is to see the Astro's play. My husband says it time to go, because they're playing good right now. My daughter and her family live here in Victoria, which is great because I can see my grandchildren everyday. I have a sister and her husband that live in Sweetwater, TN. Thanks again for your first note. Take care.

- Hi,
Yes I love being a Navy mom, my son has been in for 15yrs, he loves it. I dont get to see him to often, but he has a family that makes a difference than being alone and away. Now that he is back in San Diego, wow 2 1/2 hrs away. Im so excited. The navy has made a real man and Im VERY proud of him. I hope to get pics up soon, Im still tring to figure all this out..
