Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

KK - that is one reason we stay active with our care packages.... I hve actually had some sailors (not front line Afgan) email me that if they had not gotten a box from us they might have jumped or done something drastic... sheeeeesh.. you just never know.... Im still in touch with them even tho now they are state side... I wish I could do more ... ugggggg my heart bleeds over this! I always ask the kids to let me know if there are any kids who are depressed or get nothing from home... one sailor gave me a kids name...we sent him three boxes... he was in shock but it worked... so sad to think soo many kids have NO ONE who cares about them... well, anyhoooo its good for our kids... they are loved!!!! waaaay!
Trish - I cant tell you how happy we are that you are back here with us!!!! we love our girl and her hubs!!!!!! and each other....

KK - we also have gotten tons of rain.. man this time last year.. we were burning up in fires.. so this is GREAT! Hey we stalk we talk we worry we cry... its a momma of a military kid!!! Its what we do best hahaha
Trisha - I wish my B would get board and call me!!! He is faithful to call every Sunday after he get done with Church and the beach.. but Id love to hear from him even more... Im guilting him into getting internet so we can Skype!!!!

Well……the sermon is done and the feedback was pretty good. Lots of folks said they were touched.
Have enjoyed the week off—have to go back to work tomorrow…..bah humbug!!!!!! Course I’ll only be working 4 weeks until off to go see some dude I seem to remember with the initial W graduate from BC…
Trish, I am so sorry about Ash’s fellow Corpsman---that is so hard. Hope they have some grief support for them…
Great news on G and what is that B-man headed for—Admiral??? Hahaha!!! Still haven’t heard from J but hope it will be soon.
My brother starts his new job tomorrow!!!! And S is already working!! Things are going well for them and my nieces have taken to S real well. J is still reeling saying, “My uncle…..my ex-girlfriend. My uncle….my ex-girlfriend” over and over. Still weirds him out!!!!!!!!
Hope you all have had a wonderful Sonday and hope Momday is just as great!!!!!!

I know that does not help us mammas tho.. B man will deploy soon too so I know how you and Bama are feeling. Like Bama - im wishing that Ill have one more time this year with him... but just not sure and it has already been since Dec 2011 that I have seen his beautiful blue eyes and crazy funny smile!
Pamom - cant wait for pictures.. you must be exhausted but also HIGH!
KK- thats right we must keep up with the three boats... and then when B goes we will have a 4th one Im thinking.... not sure yet of course.

Thanks for being there yesterday!!! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this!!!

Hi girls!!! Sorry I have been out of the loop for awhile :) The wedding was awesome and so much fun. It was really great to see all 3 boys together and having a blast. It was fun to watch them. D and A had a great time here in PA. We took them to the airport on Friday... this was the last time we will see him for over a year. :( He will deploy in the next few months.
Bama sorry to hear you won't get to spend the holidays with your son.. it is hard when they are away for so long.
Kelly, kk, Lydia, R's mom, Rox, Trisha.... hope you are all having a great Monday. :))
I hope to get some photo's up next week of the wedding!!
