Hey Y'all. Mustering in from the sunny south. Got my sailor home last friday. Will get to have him till 1-2. It's odd having him home, but I'll get used to it. He's only been away for a total of 7 months, but has changed so much. He's so grown up. He's is not at all like the 19 year old that went to Boot in June. Starting the Christmas Candy this week, so it should be fun. Y'all have a great day.
MNM- Believe me, He got tons of hugs from everyone! I just cant stop hugging on him! We got to see the rings yesterday, they are gorgeous! So them! Simple and elegant.
He made it safe and sound! Jesse picked him up and they stopped by for about an hour last night! Gosh he looks great! They are so cute together!! Now I am counting the days 'til the wedding and Christmas! HooYah!
Thanks Sherrill and kk! I will try to post pics... I am not sure how. B is already at the P'cola airport and has shared a couple of pictures, but I don't know how to share pics from facebook. I am not that good with this computer.Something B has always made fun of me for! lol! Maybe he will show me while he is home. Please think of him and prayers for safe travel.
It's Saturday! It's Saturday! B will be in this afternoon! I hope they get a chance to swing by on their way home! We talked real quick last night and he has a lot of news. I just want to get my hands on my son!
Mat Mom- I think the niece has the right idea, she's got my vote! Enjoy your boy!!
Happy, Happy Friday Everyone! I feel like singing Little Orphan Annie's "Tomorrow"!
Cindy- That tape was hilarious, I laughed so hard! A Blue tooth is a great Idea! I am still waiting for B's wish list! Colorado is hands-free, we have been for a long time so everyone has those. I use mine a lot!
Reds- I will be over about mid day to help you wrap a few gifts! Keep counting those days, they do pass pretty quickly.
Manage to sleep an hour before heading to the airport to get my son and his gf. Came home and invited the other two sons and grandkids over for supper last night. Whew I am tired today but so glad to have him home. He was telling his brothers when he was deploying and his 9 year old niece started counting up the exact number of days in the months he would be gone and then she decided since he was deploying in a few months he should just stay here until then. Sounds like a great plan to me!
