Kyle just called me about an hour and a half ago from Great Lakes letting me know he got there ok for boot camp. I am now anxiously awaiting the next phone call in 2-3 weeks.....
Maria, glad you stopped by to join our IC group. We would enjoy hearing about Kyle. Did he just recently leave for bootcamp? Or has he just finished his schooling and headed for the fleet?
I hope everyone and their sailors have a wonderful Thanks...
Gina, I bet Jamie's glad that she's almost done with school. I hope you enjoy your holiday visit together. And, I will pray she has a safe journey home and on to San Diego as well.
Hi all! Hope everyone is doing great! My Sailor, Jamie will be graduating C school Dec 17 then shell get to come home for Christmas!! When she leaves Jan 6th shell report to San Diego on the USS Reagan.
Jan, thank you for sharing with us. Congratulations to Brook and Tim!!! I will pray that all goes well for their little family.
My best wishes to all our Veterans and those who currently serve their country.
I'm sure you all share pride with me in your Sailors now and this coming Veterans Day. My daughter Brook is in GL stationed at the base. She is IC. She will be there till after her baby boy is born in January. She is married to a wonderful sailor,...
hi Paige. I think Navy Dads history group has a lot of really great information. Do you think we could put some of their "finds" on our page? PS, your picture #16 looks like the other lady has been to some of our Dallas/Ft. Worth Navy get togethers. Do you know her well?
So good to hear from you, girlfriend! I knew you would do well at your new job....it was just a matter of you getting in the door for them to see what potenital you had to be a great asset to the company!
Got a call from Cory last night. He will not be able to get home for Christmas so he's coming in next Friday. I'm excited to see him, of course, but with only a weeks notice I have to rearrange some plans. I'll probably still make the DEP picnic in Tucson next Saturday, but I had also scheduled my self to work on the 21st, which is the day he'll be heading back to Virginia. I'll have to check Monday and see I can get someone to cover the morning for me. I really believe Cory thinks I just sit around the house waiting for him to come home!!!
Nothing else new. Have been doing 10 days at work this past week.....so, of course do NOTHING when I get home....so the weekends are house cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. Today I dusting out Cory's room, sweeping, changing sheets, etc.
Keep in touch. Hope Billy makes it home for a least some of the holidays!
Julie
Paige: How exciting about the job. Calm down, you're going to do just fine! What a blessing to be in the right place at the right time for this to happen......WOW...I can see it all now...the heavens open up, the lights shine on Paige and the blessings pour down!!! I am really amazed at how things work out sometimes!
Got a call from Cory yesterday....his deployment has been cancelled. Since he couldn't tell me where they were going he couldn't tell why they're NOT going! This Navy stuff is just so confusing at times. He said if they "moved out" it would be after the holidays. SOOOO...you know me, I'm hoping he can get home for Christmas. He said he put in for it. Of course, since I didn't know any of this, I scheduled myself to work! It will be fine....I gave a nurse who has pre-teenage kids the day off and I'm working in her place. If it all comes to pass Cory and I can celebrate on Christmas eve...he'll probably sleep until noon anyway!
Glad things are getting underway for Billy. But I know you will certainly miss his trips home. Being a single parent once all the kids are gone can be a little hard to adjust to sometimes. Do you know when he'll be leaving?
Drop a line when you have a chance. How was the wedding last weekend?? Keep me posted on the job....it sounds like a terrific opportunity....one door closes and another one opens!!!!
Paige: Boy....missed you today at MiMi's. How's the new job going? You're gonna do great. You have absolutely one of the best attitudes I have ever come across!!! I called Cory on my way home from this mornings cofee. He said he thinks he'll be leaving around Nov. 4th. The date is never set in stone, just an approximate. I'm having a hard time with this one....don't know if it's because of the holidays or if I'm just overtired. I have the grandkids again this weekend....and they are about to wear me out! Cory sounded good....of course, couldn't tell me where they were headed but he sounds excited about the adventure. Stay in touch!
Sorry you won't be there on Saturday, I was looking forward to meeting you. Maybe we can get together some time on our own. I hope you have a good weekend and let's keep in touch!
Hi Paige,
I havent written for a while. My son passed the physical test for SEALS this week and is now in coronado to begin SEALS. Thats our hometown, San Diego, so we are anxious to visit. Later
Hi Paige! I have been thinking about you and wondering about the job situation... I am so glad that things have worked out the way they have for you!! I WILL be at the Oct. 6 meeting (it's at 5:30 this time) and we are beginning to put together a package of things to send to a group of young men in Iraq for Christmas... (I think there's about 40 boys that we are collecting for; their Lt. Col. let the head of our group know that these do not have family nor do they get mail :( ... so we have "taken them under our wings" so to speak :) I look forward to seeing you there... have a wonderful weekend with Billy!!
Paige: Got in from Branson Monday night....flight was delayed coming out of Dallas so I didn't reach home until after midnight....lhad to work on Tuesday. That was a LONG day! But you are so right...the area is beautiful. The weather was perfect....no rain, temps in the high 70's and low 80's....trees, green grass, I din't want to come home!
Paige, Julie said you would let the Navy Dad's know out the the meeting on Oct 17th @ Mimi's. Could you send me the contact information for the Dad's group. I need to get a head count for Mimi's before the event.
I am a bit out of the loop this week (have a family emergency, our daughter who lives in Nebraska lost her baby at 22 wks and I am out there with her), but will follow up early next week so I can give them the information.
Thank you for all your help. Take care and talk to you soon
