Christian is now recruiting outside of Memphis TN. This article just came out.
God bless our sailors, God bless ALL Navy families. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year! Our sailors may or may not be home for Christmas, but they are always in our hearts!
Looking at the forecast, looks like they'll have a lot of rain on the trip up. :-( But I'm sure they'll have plenty of things to do for the experience. Fair winds and following seas. Days away!
He's on his way......they left Hawaii today! Getting very excited for homecoming!
Since we went to friends for Thanksgiving we don't have any "left overs" I got lucky and just had to make deserts. So while I made a couple extra pies for around our house my family made the comment that they wanted turkey sandwiches, enchiladas, noodle soup, etc. Today instead of making my usual southern fried chicken dinner, you got it, I'm making turkey dinner with all the trimmings. My youngest son and his girlfriend have to work later this afternoon, so we're going to have early dinner. Now we'll have turkey day left overs.
My sailor will be back stateside in time for his first wedding anniversary! YEAH, these kids have been separated almost 10 of their first 12 months together! Now they can start their marriage.
Got my flights booked for homecoming!
