Comment by Kellymcd11 on April 26, 2011 at 2:39pm: Mama Bear. sorry to hear the news. A couple of guys I work with were stationed in Bahrain.....they say it was the time of their lives and absolutely beautiful. They always told me to encourage Chris to go there. I wonder if you can visit him in San Diego while he is in C school?

Comment by Mama Bear on April 26, 2011 at 2:10pm: Jan, glad you are back! Here in California the weather has been perfect I hope it stays.

We have been waiting for Nathan to have leave after A school. They told him he would have 8 days leave before he had to report to San Diego. We were expecting him home tomorrow....then yesterday they told him that his ship was not in port...that it was in Bahrain and he was not having leave...that they were flying him strait to Bahrain to join his ship :( then within the hour they changed his order...still NO leave but now he is going to C school still in San Diego then they will fly him out to Bahrain to join his ship. I sucks that we won;t be able to see him...and I am not happy with the idea of him being in Bahrain.... :(

Comment by Kellymcd11 on April 26, 2011 at 1:58pm: Janet- glad you are back. There is nothing like being home when you are feeling sad.

Angie- Chris is feeling better. He constantly complains about the bugs.lol...and now that Alyse s home I have a feeling he will be much better.

One of his buddies girlfriends came down for the Easter holiday so they shang highed her car and went sight seeing and out to eat. He also told me that he is applying for his fishing license so he can fish ofoast Gaurd pier. Sounds right up his alley.......

We are planning, God Willing to visit for two weeks in October, but I think maybe a long weekend getaway is in order.

Oh and Ang...I do the same with the change. I saved for a month (boys are always leaving change int heir pockets) and just cashed it in. 109 bucks WOW...I joined a morning "boot camp" it is for the month of May three times a week. I need to lose some weight, so the change paid for it....yipee..

Comment by BigGaMoma(Angie) on April 26, 2011 at 12:10pm: Janet, it's GOOD to have you back...sorry you came home to such yucky weather...it's pretty warm here..warm enough for all of the lovely, well-loved(HA) bugs to be out and biting!! Are you doing ok? You will have good times and there out of the blue, will come the tears...but, like I said before it's ok...we will always be right here with listening ears...and YES, I want to be where COLBY is too!!!! LOL, Lord willing I'm going....several of my B'day gifts were $$ for my Hawaiian Honeypot..and just like when I was saving $$ for PIR, if it's left laying around or found in the dryer etc...IT"S MINE!!! I have no pity for anyone's wallet right now...except my own (cause it's empty) LOL...we have wedding we're paying for right now too...

Kelly, has Chris complained about the bugs yet?? Is he getting a little more adjusted?

well, ladies,just got a call from my Lo-Lo and she's coming home with a BAD migraine and throwing up...I was the Cleaning and Laundry LADY today BUT, now, I'm changing roles and going to be the nurse....yall have a good one!!!!

Comment by janlee on April 26, 2011 at 10:00am: YES!! Back to PA, where the weather is just SO beautiful!...haha! I left 90 degree weather and came home to rain and cold. My husband said it rained the whole time i was gone, he said it was like living in friggin' London...lol

It looks like a nice one today though, im going to cut some grass. I started to cut yesterday, but guess what??...it started to pour down rain!!! Uhhgggg! Im ready for summer (or at least somedays where its WARM!)..I wanna go where COLBY is...haha!

Comment by NavyMomKim on April 26, 2011 at 6:59am: YEAH JANET IS BACK IN PA!!!

Comment by janlee on April 25, 2011 at 11:40pm: Hey everyone--thanks SO MUCH for all the comments and wishes..OMG, you have no idea how nice it was to get home and read them all. I was supposed to be back on Friday night, but i wasnt prepared for what i was walking into when i got to Arizona..:(

Im so thankful that i was able to extend my stay and take care of everything that needed to be done, WOW...what a shocker. It all happened so quickly.

Thank GOD for nurses!! Seriously, one of the nurses stepped up to the plate and ignored protocol and called me and my sisters to let us know we should fly down there.

We have been so fortunate, as we have never had to deal with a death in our immediate family, and it was AWFUL. Not to mention all the details that need to be taken care of. Being so far away just made it so much harder, still tying up loose ends.

I keep breaking down, and then i think of Coles mom and all she has been dealing with, how strong she has been while having to deal with one of the worst things i can possibly think of, the death of a child, and im able to pull it together for a while.

You ladies are the strongest women i know..seriously. And im thankful to know each and everyone of you. You guys are TRULY good people. THANKS SO MUCH!!

And how about my hubby???..lol SO SWEET. I told you all he was a terrible speller..haha! He texted me and asked me how to spell the word 'prayer', but i was so busy, i never thought to ask why, and then i see his post on FB...lol

I think he missed me.

Angela- Colbys pics are amazing!! If i was you, i would be planning my trip there already..lol And im sorry that you received more bad news. Wishing all is well.

Really..thanks to you all. Im home and ready to get my mind and thoughts onto brighter things...so lets get to chatting...lol!!

Comment by BigGaMoma(Angie) on April 25, 2011 at 11:03pm: Hello Ladies, why is everyone so quite????? Smile, God loves ya!!!

Janet, Are you home yet??

Keith's on the phone now with Colby, he called to tell us to look on FB he has posted some pics...he's also found a car and is getting Daddy's advice....gas is $4.49 out there..WOW...he's tired of walking...LOL...

good night ladies....I don't like the silence.....love yall....nite-nite, don't let the bed-bugs bite......

Comment by NavyMomKim on April 25, 2011 at 6:48am: Wow~~not expecting all the bad news...just so sad for everyone left behind.
