Wow, I can't believe I let so much time go by. Ben's graduation went great, he got to come home for two weeks at Christmas (which went by really fast). He is down in Pensacola, Fl. at search and rescue swimmers school right now. His girlfriend is down there visiting right now. Last weekend they got engaged. I stopped at the secretary of states office in coldwater and they said you were not there any more.
Hope to hear back from you soon. Angie
Jordan did extend for 6mos. due to getting married and having the baby. He is reinlisting..due to the economy. Plans to take labs for C school at Naval Hospital. Then go into med-school and with the knowledge of labs, use that to work in a lab for extra money. Has it all planned out. All I want is to see my son...
Lisa-so great to hear from you! I am so excited for you and your sons. I know you will have the most wonderful time. Jordan, does take care of himself. He is a health freak. I spoke with him for an hour on skype, I was closing down my computer when the alert poped up. He said he would not be returning home until his May 2010. Then, he will go to his next duty station, San Deigo. He will take his C-school there. I was crying when I our conversation ended. That will be over 3 yrs since I have seen him, plus my grandson will be a year old. I hope I can go for the birth of my grandchild. That would be such a blessing, if you would check things out for me. Jordan will be on his 30 day leave when the baby is born. He has to use it by Sept 9th. I will be talking to you soon...Cindy
Hi Lisa..Your time is getting close until you see your babies!! I will have to get you to hunt my son done. I need a current picture of him. My grandson is due Aug. 1st. I am missing him so much...Let me hear from you. Take Care...Cindy
Hi Lisa,
Do you have your kimono packed or are you going to wear it to the airport. lol
You must be getting so excited. I know you will have a wonderful time. I will be waiting for pictures and for the snow to melt. :) How long will you be gone? I see you haven't RSVP'd to the Frankenmuth meet and greet on June 27th. Hope you will be there. We still haven't decided on a Ponderosa date. Hopefully this month. It won't be as busy as the past couple of months. I'll let you know.
Yep. Archer is on the southern chain of lakes. Coldwater lake is on one end, Marble is on the other. We are next to Marble and they are all hooked together by channels. It's pretty fun, at least in the warmer weather!! Some people also call our lake Middle Lake. We are in off Fremont Rd if you know where that is. We spend way too much time at Walmart and Meijer in the summer!
Hi Lisa,
Your Coldwater Mi address caught my eye when I was looking at the MI mom's site. We are currently living in Ohio but have a cottage on Archer Lake and plan to move there, hopefully within this year. Great to know someone else from that area!
Hi Lisa- My son works at Bush Medical Clinic (Camp Courtney) he also is attached to the Marines. I know how you feel...haven't seen my son in over a yr. You become legal @ 20 in Japan. Jordan had his big blowout party last yr. Infact, today is his 21st Birthday. All I can do is light a Blue candle & cry. I don't know about accommodations..I have asked Jordan that as well. I would think so. They did at Camp Pendelton (San Deigo) didn't know that either, Jordan forgot to remember & it was cheap $25. a night on the beach. Have you checked the price of airfare!! I plan on going over end of July. I know Naha is the closest town 40 mins away. I will see what I can find out. I am excited for you May is not so far off!! Let me know what you find out. What are your sons names? I will see if Jordan knows them. Jordan has been there since 09/07. Hugs and stay warm, Cindy
Hi Lisa, I am so happy for you going to Okinawa to see your boys. It sounds like a wonderful time. We have a trip planned for August when Lyndsy gets back from her deployment to the Florida Keys. Lyndsy and Dale (my husband, Lyndsy's dad) are scuba divers and they want to go to John Kennecamp State Park to dive. I love the beautiful coral and fish but I do it from the top. I am not a diver. I can see them just as fine from the top, the water is so clear. We are going to drive our fifth wheel and the boat down and we are going to camp for 10 days so it is going to be a riot. Keep me posted with your plans for your trip. May will be here before you know it.
Hi Lisa, We did have a nice Christmas but you are right, it's just not the same without all the kids home. We are going to head for Texas in June to see our son and our new dil. Wow! Japan? That will be a wonderful trip I'm sure. Do the boys know you are planning on coming or are you going to surprise them?
I'll try to get Jeff in the mood for Ponderosa sometime this month. I'll let you know when we decide on a date. Hopefully soon.
Lisa, I don't know if you'll get this before Thursday. Thursdays I'm in Coldwater and I'd like to stop and say hi. Is there a time that would be better? I'd like to know more about the shuttle and see the map.
Hi Lisa, I really enjoyed meeting you on Saturday. I'm sorry we didn't get to visit longer. Maybe next time we need a round table. :) I am going to hold my Jeff to his promise to take me to Coldwater Ponderosa and will let you know when we decide to go. It would be great to see you and Jeff again.
PIR is less than 3 weeks away. I booked a room at the Sleep Inn, only a mile from the base. Ben keeps insisting that we only get one car pass. I'm just worried because his dad keeps saying he is bringing extra people. Can you walk onto base? Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Angie
Hi Lisa, I can't wait to meet you! Yes, the St Johns is at the Wheel Inn, we can order lunch there. Uli put a map on the Meet and Greet events page. I am leaving you a message there. This is going to be so much fun. If you have any other questions, send me a message. I'm also adding you as a friend and sending you my cell phone number. See you Saturday.
Hi Lisa . How was your Thanksgiving. What do you hear from Scott and Luke. Mike is doing good. He had a nice holiday with friends. He is going out to sea with HM1 daily the last 3 days to ships too big to come into port there on Okinawa. They are doing exams,immunizations and such. He is loving it.Said they will be doing that all week..Hope all is good with you.HUGS.Laura
Hi Lisa. What do you hear from those sailors of yours. What plans do they have for Thanksgiving. Mike is going to LT's home for dinner. He has the single guys in the clinic over for the holdiays. Mike went there also for Easter. Mike is driving his car and taking a couple of the newbies over also. I am glad they will have somewhat of a family environment for the holdiays. The LT has a little girl and she just adores Mike. I think Mike said she is like 18 mo old or something. Mike always jas a treat for her when she comes into the clinic with Momma to see Daddy. And of course Mike loves kids.so they have a great relationship. Well, i hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. HUGS.Laura
Yes mam that is the day mike graduated from "A" scjhool. Which one of the pics and which corpsman is it, Mike has remained friends with most from the class in fact some of them are over there two. Is that when your bioys graduated How weird they may all know each other.Let me know,Laura
Hi Lisa How are your sailors doing. Mike is great. Busy busy all the time. But loving every minute of it. He loves taking care of his patients. Medicine has always interested him. Mike is going to LT;s for Thanksgiving, What are the boys doing. Hope you have a wonderful holiday.Laura
Yeah, something with helicopters. He made me watch the movie the Guardian after he left. I promised he would still go to college while he is in the navy. He wants to be a nurse too, a psych nurse, so he can take care of his crazy mom. I got my second letter today and it was two pages. He told me I can't write with glitter pens anymore.:( He's no fun. Got any hotel ideas for graduation and how soon should I make a reservation.
Sorry Lisa I need to read my mail better. I didn't think there was an Okinawa Oh. So they aren't close. Will you get to see them for the holidays? How long have they been there? I still have a bonus son at home, he just turned 16 and my oldest, Victoria is in nursing school at Western.
