Our hearts go out to the pilots, their individual families, and the entire Navy family that we are all part of. Our pilots do a demanding, and potentially dangerous job. It is the reality we live with to support them. This cuts into all of our hea...

- Did not know that he had gotten hurt. So sorry to hear that -- hope it wasn't too serious. Glad to hear that he is doing better. Sara can't wait to leave Corpus. She's been very unhappy socially. Assuming she flew today she has one more flight to go and she'll be done. Again, best wishes to Shaun in JAX.

Hope to be able for all of us to get together while your visiting.

NurseNavyMom said… - Hope you are feeling better!!! Yes my son and DIL arrived in Tampa with the big moving van and thre 5 pets. They found a rental house and have been moved in 2 wks. I am sure I have will have more questions in the future when he is closer to his graduation from USF . I do know that he and another guy are the only 2 yr ROTC scholarship receipients in his unit, with most being the 4 yr. He is prior enlisted too, so he and the other guy are different from the others. They may have a very different experience than the others. But he is adjusting to college life again and taking things a day at a time. I saw your photos of your son's winging on another site. I know you are so proud of him and I am sure he is glad to have been successful and accomplished so much! Does he know where he is assigned yet? I wish him the very best. Thanks for checking in on me. I am still in California, returning to Kentucky the first of November. Have a great weekend.
