EXPERIENCE IS WHAT YOU GET, WHEN YOU DIDN'T GET WHAT YOU WANTED

Profile Information

About me:
I'm a single mom with 3 boys. Cory, my youngest had PIR from bootcamp 7/18/08. The house feels really empty...I'm starting to get used to it. I'm a nurse, I grew up an Air Force Brat. I miss my son, but I am so very proud of the adult he has become.
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
I'm JUST NOW learning patience. It was 3 weeks before I received my 1st real letter. I'm very used to contacting my kids whenever I feel like it...through a phone call, text, or email. This waiting to hear from him was a real trial for me. But he seems to be doing fine and I'm learning to wait, He will be the one who initiates contact...not me!
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

I had another mother offer, but I'm having trouble getting in contact. She wants me to send her daughter Chris' phone number. I just spoke to Chris and because of his rate (he's a CTN) he doesn't want me to give out his cell number. So, if you have that number, I'll pass it on to Chris. I think that is the best way to go, if they have room at the table.

Hey Julie! I'm so glad you guys' got to celebrate Cory's B-day! Great idea! Saturday was great! I'm so glad we had a chance to catch up. Hope you are enjoying your week, and hope Thursday and Friday work out that you and Cory get to spend some time together. Take care, my dear.

Good Morning BFFF:)! So glad I got to see you yesterday, and that you guys stopped by afterwards so we could really have a chance (even if it was too short) to visit:)!
Storewide meeting this morning (so we're all on the same page for the holidays) then I'm working ALL day . . . the hardest thing about my 'job' is that I no longer have a good sense of a 'work week' . . . what day is it anyway?!?! LOL:)!
Hope you have a GREAT day . . . enjoy the minute or two that you'll get with Cory:)! GIANT HUGS:)!

We'll meet there at 10:30, and then head that way. yeah, I'm just picking something up from costco or sam's too. I completely procrastinated, and now we have plans for tonight. Have a great night my dear! See you tomorrow.

Holy Goodness Gracious. Corey is going to be in town. How cool is that!!! Ok, we'll work on that in a bit. Yes, it will be here before we know it, and the H's are doing a casserole. Oh Geez......I know cookies and pasta salad, and that would be about the extent of it. Hmmm, gotta come up with something good. 10:30 is good....let's plan on somewhere on the ...omg I don't know...I'll figure it out on google tomorrow and we'll go from there. Yeah. I can't wait. Haven't heard from Jen in a long time, must call her.

I got my schedule for the 14th and I work until 1:00 . . . (which is when the potluck is supposed to start) . . . I figure that I ought to be able to drive over there by about 2 or 2:15 . . . thanks for the offer, but you probably don't want to be that late:)!

I'm glad you'll get to see Cory, even if his timing isn't the best:)!
I miss you and am looking forward to next weekend:)! GIANT HUGS to you BFFF:)!
