Dori, Wow!!!! You must be completely exhausted with that much stress going on around you. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. What do the Dr.'s say? Will he be Okay? How did he hurt his back?

Damien getting married just blew me away. When you say "local girl," do you mean local as in where he grew up or a girl that he has met since boot camp? I can't imagine the horror you felt. First your baby in the Navy, then marriage. That's a little too much for anyone to handle. I'm so glad she took herself out of the picture before any real damage was done. Is Damien Okay with the situation? So many times these girls just looking for a husband, hook up with these kids that are lonely and homesick then before you know it, their married with babies, and wondering how it all happened. I'm so glad Damien has such a good head on his shoulders and thought of school first.

I'm so glad he's going to be close to home for a little while. We were actually happy that James was stationed close enough that we can drive but far enough that is would take a serious effort for his "friends" to go see him. He has been home twice since boot camp. Each time as soon as he gets with his friends, Pow!!!! He's back into slacker mode. I just want him to stay away from them long enough for all of them to do a little growing up.

It was reallly good hearing from you. Please write when you can. Big hugs, Kathy

Hey Dori, Just thought I'd stop by and check on you and Damien. How are you? James finished A school in about 3 weeks. He came home for a couple of days then went to his duty station in Norfolk VA. He is currently deployed on the USS T. Roosevelt. It all happened so quickly. It seemed as if one minute he was graduating Boot Camp and the next he was on a plane to be taken to a ship in the middle of who knows where. He's having a little difficulty adjusting but, I think that is because it all happened so quickly.

Please let me know how you and Damien are doing. I miss talking to you. hugs, Kathy

Hi Dori, just read a post from you about getting a guest pass at the Navy Lodge so we could use the Nex gas station. Thanks for the info. We leave Wed. 8th for our son's bc grad. on the 9th. How far is the Navy Lodge from the base and is it better to drive the rental or to go by shuttle? I am so excited about seeing him and just want everything to go smoothly. Appreciate any info. or advice you could give. Thanks again.

Hey Dori,
Sorry to hear that Damien wont be home for Christmas. I hope you're doing well. I want to wish you and all of your family a very Blessed and Merry Christmas. I'll light my blue candle for Damien and say a prayer for all of you tonight. God Bless you. Merry Christmas. Love, Kathy

Hey Dori - I forgot. Does Damien get to come home for Christmas? James is to arrive on December 22nd and he returns Jan. 3rd. Yay!!!!

Hey Dori - Sorry for the delay in my responding. I have been rediculously busy after returning. I'm still not caught up but I had a few minutes to check my page while my family finishes getting ready for church.

James arrived in Mississippi on Wednesday, 12/10 and he loves it!!! I'm so glad. They haven't had much to do so far but he said that the difference between bootcamp and A school is tremendous. No one is mean. There are rules but, he calls them "common sense rules." He says its much easier to deal with. We shipped his cell phone to him. It should arrive tomorrow. So far there is another young fella with him that has allowed him to use his phone to call us. Yes, he has called everyday. It's great!!!!

I'm glad Damien is doing well and calling daily. I'm sure you're thrilled. I'm so proud of both of our boys. Thinking back about all of our fears, and now look at them. They're flying high and doing great!!!! We'll I better check on my youngest. He seems to be dragging this morining. Hugs and Love sent your way. (It's so great now because when I write you I'm able to picture you're face.) This is awesome!!!

Was proud
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
To let them grow on their own. To be patient with how the Navy works. Really hard not to talk with them for SO long.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:

I missed it

Damien got to vall home on the 30th. He tried me at work, he tried me at home. I was in a meetinf, I told him to call his cell. He got to talk to his dad and told him that he didn't know the number and only had a few minutes. I was a wreak. He got to talk to dad and my office dtaff but not me!!! Husband said he sounded good, a little home sick and bummed that Mom was there to talk with. He got a good grade on a test and got to make a quick call. It SUCKs to work
