What a wonderful surprise for you! I know that your Thanksgiving Dinner will be extra special this year. Pake was able to call me last night they have been back in port for two day's now. He is doing okay. He has seen some beautiful places as well as some sad places. He will not be able to come home until next June or July. Pake said it's very hard to be away from his family during the Holiday's, harder than he thought it would be. But he has some friends and they will eat dinner on the base and have desert at a friends home. Tell Matt that we said Hey and that we are happy he was able to be home for Thanksgiving.
Hi Kim,
Saw on the CT site that you have been sick. Just wanted to stop in and say I hope you are feeling better. My daughter has been sick all week as well. Take care and talk to you soon.
Yes, staying in SC. Looking for an apartment now - I guess we will move him when we are there for graduation. He will be on hold and then have Prototype there in SC. Then - well, who knows! He seems happy to be staying in SC - didn't mind NY, just not use to that type of cold for long periods of time, so glad for a warmer winter! He is a shorts and t-shirt kind of guy! :)
Please pray for him as he finishes these last two weeks of class and then has comps on the 17th. Wow - in less than 3 weeks we will be there! Can't wait!
Oh, Kim I am so sorry! No wonder you have been on my heart so much recently! God put you there! I am sorry you lost your mom - I know that feling: You hate giving them up, but are glad they aren't suffering anymore. I lost my mom in 1993 - I still miss her but know that she is so much better off. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Glad Matt got to be with you!
Glad he is enjoying his job - that helps. Garry is just stressed now with tests, then comps and now not sure what his orders will be. He thought he was staying in S.C. for Prototype, but it changed but he doesn't know when he will leave. Oh, well - welcome to the Navy, huh? I am very flexible - but being a teacher I am used to planning and then "being flexible" within that plan! ha ha Oh, well. My girls are good. Stefie got her first pap since her surgery and we are waiting on the results. Praying for clear results. They both are getting to go to graduation as well as our son-in-law and my sister. So it will be a great trip and visit! Can't wait!
I hope we can meet up sometime soon - I will let you know our plans!
I will keep you in my prayers in the days that follow and you get on with your life.
God Bless

Hey girl! How have things been? How is your mom? Matt? Haven't talked in forever. Don't have lots of time to get on - didn't at all for several weeks, but now that Power School grad is close (Nov. 20th) been connecting with other moms making plans. Think of you often - fill me in on what's happening!
How far are you from Ballston Spa, NY? Looks like Garry is probably moving there. Maybe we can meet when we come up if it isn't too far to meet half-way or something.
God Bless!
Kim- It was the 14 x 18 Sailor's Creed - $37.00 plus $9 for shipping. Bummer is they only take money order - I hate waiting. They supply the Creed and I guess the group picture. I have one but I think it is too big - maybe not. Anyway, thank you again.
Kim - Update: Went through the giant cardboard and lo and behold their is a frame. It is not the matt that you have - it states for the TEAM. I went online to the site and they do not have it with your matt. Tomorrow I will give a call and see what they have to say. Thanks again.
Thanks Kim - I know Karl had a frame in his pkg but I did not pay attention to it. I am going to have to go up to his room and check it out. Yours looked nicer - would be funny if we have it. I framed his pictures for his grandmother and family in beautiful frames from Pottery Barn. They are Navy wood with off white linen matting. I did get them on sale for less then 1/2 price. I thought though your frame would be nice to have it all together. Thanks again for the quick response. I need to update my sight with newer pictures but have to wait for daughter or husband - hence - PIR pictures. lol
Kim - Hi don't really know me but I just looked at your pictures. Handsome Corpsman and good looking family. I noticed the picture of your son with his grad class and I guess the Corpsman creed? Was that a customized frame or store bought. Thanks in advance - I loved it. If store bought I would love to get one and put my son's in. Thanks again.
Kim I am so sorry about your Momma. I will keep her in my prayers. Our Labor Day was okay. We enjoyed our day off. It's rare that we have one, owning our business takes most of our time LOL. Please let me know how your Momma is doing. Give Matt my best.
Hey Kim,
I just wanted to say hello and to see how you are doing? I see that Matt is doing great. I am so proud for you and Matt. I hope you have a good day.

Hey Kim
Did you get to go visit Matt for the holiday week-end? I hope so! How is he and how was yoru visit? How is your mom doing? I am keeping all of you in my prayers.
I have had some health issues - but have it under control for now.
Talked to Garry last night for a long time and he sounded better than he had in a long, long time! That really helped me too! :)
Thanks - the day was great and we felt very blessed! It was wonderful. Franie was happy that was all that mattered.
School - ha - inservice started before I got back from the beach. So we got home and hit the road running! Whew! We are actually in our 3rd week of classes.
I will send you a private message with my personal e-mail and then if we don't get on here often maybe we can still keep in touch.
God Bless!
I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time! I will keep you and your mom in my prayers. Please keep me posted on her progress. Other than his car, how is Matt?
Garry is good - very stressed. One time he sounds good the next he doesn't, so I just keep praying and sending encouraging mail!
Pictures: Yes I just added them - but they should be right under my profile, where yours are on your page. It's just two - I am not much on putting pictures on, but I wanted you to see what my family looks like. :) Let me know if you see them or not - I will try again if not.
I will try to do better at keeping in touch - things have been hectic with the start of school and I just don't get on the sight much any more. I do think of you and your family often - you have been a great help to me through some tough times with all this Navy stuff. I appreciate that.
I'm glad to hear he is doing well!! I'm excited for you because he is coming home! We are doing pretty well here in P'cola. Jason loves it. I like it here, just a little homesick from time to time, but we are going back home on the 1st for a couple of weeks.
Hello Kim
I haven't heard "Where are my cookies" in about a month from your son! LOL I hope he is doing well!! I plan on sending him some as soon as I find out if its ok. In June he called Jason and said do not send any because he would get in trouble or something like that!! I hope your doing well too!!

Doesn't look like Garry is moving to NY after all.
