Sad not to be with daughter on her birthday for the third year in a row. She went out with friends and sent me a picture. They also went to an amusement park. Guess things are not as bad as the news here wants us to believe.
Getting ready to leave next week on a two month mission trip to Malawi. This trip will be like none other with my girl overseas. Leaving contact information with the church made me a little weepy. God is in control of all things.
I will continue to pray for my Navy Mom Sisters and our daughters and sons. Pray that we will be able to have internet connection to contact daughter and keep up with Navy Moms.

Vinnie don't you just love those surprise calls? Sorry she has pink eye. It was an upper respiratory when my daughter was there.

Just got a call from my daughter so excited to hear from her even if she had to whisper or a very scratchy voice. She said she is feeling a little under the weather and voice going and she did mention about the pink eye going around. She still even being sick sounds good and she loves drill! Lol

Hi Anna,
Glad you had a good getaway. My girl seems to be in good spirits, feeling better. Still asking for prayer and counting the time down. This is exciting. Our sailor ladies are almost realizing another milestone!

Wow sorry I've been MIA for several days. First I was visiting a very dear friend from high school who is a almost two year breast cancer survivor!!! We spent our time catching up on old times and so much other good stuff!!! Then hubby and I traveled to the Rocky Mountain National Park and did not have internet!!!!
JayDee,
Thanks for covering for me and handling the new moms concerns. You always give the best advice!!!
ShawnMom,
How exciting for you having your girl back home!!! I understand your feelings about other moms who don't have that same good fortune and that is so sweet of you to say that. But we share all our good fortunes with each other and I know all the other moms will be happy for you!!!! I agree with bbcregular - tell your girl how proud we all are of her and her willingness to be ready to go whenever needed!!!
Tweetybird,
So sorry you missed your call and I really hope you get another one soon!! PIR must be right around the corner for you!!!
GranmaFaye,
How is everything with your girl??
Badgermom,
I'm also sure that everything will be ok with the moisturizer you sent your girl. If she asked for it, then chances are it's ok to send it. But just in case - - - let us know if there was a problem and we can better advise other new moms!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and all our sailor girls are doing wonderful also!! Hope to be in better communications now!!!
