Priscilla, I bet you were hoping to be out of the snow, but the Navy seems to be delay city...except when it moves quickly. Your little one is getting big so quickly (from what I can see in the picture). Good luck and have a great Thanksgiving.

So nice reading how everyone's sailors are doing! S graduated FC "A" school in Aug & we're still stationed at Great Lakes awaiting orders for FC "C" school.... anyyyy day now. 

We were really hoping to be moved before it starts snowing like crazy up here in Chicagoland, but I guess not! hahah.

Thanks Nancy! I'm in the sub moms group.  About address is a mess, so Jo did the same that in Groton rent a box and I already send two little packages.  Send it through Priority and no problem at all.  Got your cell, thanks.  Things change so quick, middle of the week talking to Jo was: "Nothing until January".  Two days later "I will not hear from him and may be he will be home for Christmas (that part I like)".  He is excited, I'm happy for him.  I know is the best for him, he need to start working to get his "dolphin"  and the sooner the better.  Still will miss his call.

Oh rose...you know that we are here for you! Our boys are doing such wonderful things. Have you checked out the sub moms page yet? Did you know about the sub ombudsman? I have not heard from Ian's yet. And no address, he said he doesn't have one yet. Will you have time to get Jo a halfway package? I will pm my phone number in case you want to make a phone call. I will be in the same boat (pun intended ;-)) as you before we know it. I agree, it is the lack of communication and never knowing (mom I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you) is just so hard.

Jo call me to tell me I will not hear from him until around Thanksgiving.  He is going in his first underway.  I will wait anxious to hear his voice.  Since BC it will be the first time that I have to wait again for his call.  This is going to be a practice for a future deployment.  Ufff !!!

Penny...don't feel like you are all alone on your feelings...I'm in the same boat with you.  I remember when T called to tell me that he was going to Hawaii and the boat he would be assigned to...it was a feeling of excitement and then I went straight to tears...it felt so "real" he was going into the Fleet and sooo far away...its not a road trip to Hawaii nor just a short cheap flight, and yes its true as some have said to you its not the middle east but it feels like the other side of world.  I am happy for T I know he really wanted to go to Hawaii but the selfish mom in me really wanted him closer to home, being a mom is such a rewarding and heart breaking experience.  I do find comfort in the thought that through my Navy mom's there are a couple of us that have Hawaiian connections and just think one day maybe you and I will be able to go to a Hawaiian Luau!!

Rose..I'm with you I love this Navy mom group...we've been together since the beginning and I have found alot of comfort being able to come here and express my feelings and knowing I'm not alone!!!

Nancy...T has to report on 10/26 but he leaves 10/24 that will give him a day to get settled in and figure out where everything is on base.  I'm excited to see the pictures from the A School graduation...tell IB he is stressing me out post the pictures ;o)  You are to funny...Norfolk Nancy...Pearl Harbor Penny...I'm trying to figure out who I am Luau Liz?!?!  That was all I could come up with.

Well this is the last weekend I will have my T home before he leaves on his adventure in Hawaii..we are having a BBQ/Luau tomorrow complete with grass skirts and red, white & blue leis...I have a friend at work that is an awesome cake maker/decorator and she is making T a sub cake I'm so excited to see what she comes up with...its crazy to think Monday he will be on his way to Hawaii....excited and sad all at the same time.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Sorry Rose! Changed my name AND my picture! Still me though!! Same picture that several of us are using on Facebook so I thought it might not be that confusing...

Did you go look at the sub moms group? Lots of interesting discussions with lots of info! Happy to hear that Jo is doing well. Surprised to hear that they get to move into apartments. Is this off base? Hmmmm... I thought they had to be married and/or have much more time in to get out of the barracks.

Penny....congrats to N.  You are strong, everything it will be ok.  He is a nice boy! In order to feel MUCH better we have to think that is what he or she want and be happy for them.  We did the same at one point to start our family.  We have to adjust (is very hard) and take advantage of every minute that we can share with them. 

Like Nancy I clean my groups, but I'm going to stay with this group after all we are together from the beginning and I like it.  I know I can count with you moms.  Also like in FB I can just say so much, Jo is friend with me and sometimes they are "mom" like even if they don't express on words they are thinking "Gosh she so sentimental or why you have to give details"  they know we love them but like my mom used to told me "one day when you have your kids you will understand how much I love you".  How true is that!!!!

Update....Jo is getting used to.  He is doing good so far he like the area.  He already move to another barrack.  Now just waiting to move to a military apartment.  He is happy because he will have a kitchen to cook.  Planning to go visit him and look the area in December, let see. 

A COMPLAIN.....stop changing picture....this go to you Nancy.  I'm thinking how is this person until I saw the IB if not I will go bananas.  Keep the picture my subconscious recognize.  Ja, ja is true!!!!
