Lynne, yes Justin arrived from WA 2 days ago and he's been on the run ever since. He's here until the 27th. He's been out with his buddies and went to Universal today (btw-military get a free 5 day pass to Universal by going to one certain htl over at Disney to get it. it ends the 18th I think). It's good to have him here as last year he really didn't have a Christmas as he was in bootcamp then. I feel like a complete family right now but dreading the 27th because I'm sure I'll be my normal boohoo self. I sure hope your sailor makes it. What a nice and special surprise that would be.

Welcome, Donna. Glad to have you. The ladies here are all such a great support system. Our son, Justin, is an IT stationed at Whidby Island, WA. However....he's on a plane now as we speak coming home on a 2 week leave. We can't wait-it's been since May when he moved there since we saw him. Merry Christmas all.

Mary, thanks loads! Yes, it's court reporting, or sports or depositions for attorneys.

Beth, I'm praying for your moms speedy recovery. Hopefully she will come thru as great as my dad did. He's just at a little slower pace than he ever was but he's fine after he had a little therapy. His stroke was a year ago this past January. Prayers going out.
Trouble, I will put in extra prayers for you and pray that it is benign. God bless you!
Lil, sorry I can't be of any help on where you can check into that. Send a message to Diane (here in the group). She may know as she's been on N4M since the inception and she's very wise (way beyond her years).
To all...please have a Merry Christmas. I've been since Saturday making our house vomit Christmas (that's what the neighbor says). My husband has been over a week now putting up lights outside. He does the lights and big items outside and I do the little items outside and all rooms inside the house. People slow to look at our house because we light up the neighborhood. Yes, we are also known as the Griswold's-LOL.

Hello ladies...I see some of us are moving onward and upward...I was think of it as "growing up" we never stop growing and learning and sometimes marriages just grow apart! its hard but we take what we learn and move UP......Not ON UP ...
The donations will NOT be used till next time!!!
MY boxes are going today...wrapped up all those beautiful stockings for the new daddies and they will be on there way...
Chappy, our Point of contact email me and said some of Molly Adopt a Sailor packages are arriving and he will be sending pics of "what used to be his berthing"...! ♥

Pam, so sorry for what you're going thru. Unfortunately, I'm hearing of more and more divorces that are shocking me. I pray for strength for you and that you find happiness.
Ingrid, we've missed you..now I see why. That is a full load for sure. Congrats on the impending graduation. As you graduate I will be beginning my 18 months or so of schooling. I'm headed for Stenotype schooling while I'm drawing unemployment. There's just no jobs out there and many disappointments on interviews.
All others have a happy holiday season and for those of you with sailors lucky enough to come home (including me) hooray. For the others take what moments of enjoyment you can. Last Christmas was our 1st without Justin because he was in bootcamp.
