We have stayed at this motel many times on our visits to our son. It is not fancy, but it's clean. Also not that expensive. Our son books the room for us and I think he gets a military discount. The main reason we stay there is because they alllow p…

Yes, Jim is in the midst of prototype training. He hopes to be done w/in about 30 days, hear about his first boat assignment, then move on to Groton for the 3rd stage of his training. He's excited, we're proud and miss him tons.

(Please forgive me if I don't reply back as quickly as I should. I'm still learning the ropes on this board).

Cindy I'm so sorry to hear you missed Matt's call. I'm so afraid that is going to happen to me. I keep the phone right with me all the time but things like that still happen and we can miss the call so easy. Yes she had a filling and a root canal work but this last letter said the actual root canal is schedualed for Sept 18th. She had had a tempary done by our dentist here in Tahlequah,OK. before she left and thought she was fine.

Hi Cindy how are you doing? When I got home last night we had 2 letters from Meghan waiting for us. She has that cold that they all get. Also they are doing some dental work on her mouth and she had a very painful night with it on Sept 2. She is a strong determened girl though so I know she will find a way to push through the pain. How is Matt doing? We have only gotten one phone call and my husband got to talk to her. Have you heard from Matt?

Yes he is. He's at the prototype stage of his training & hope to hear his first boat assignment by the end of the month. He will be headed to Groton for the final stage of the training sometime in November or so.
I'm still confused about all the terminology, etc., just glad he seems to be doing well & happy. He came home for a couple of days weekend before last. It was so nice to actually reach up & give him a hug!
How about your son?
