DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Mp We wre just talking about the Utah lastnight and my son they are working on a memorial for it. "It seems the sinking was not a amazing as it was for the AZ and I'm sure funding plays a big part in it."
I will tell you guys that lastnight I got on Google Earth and my son took me from the exact spot him sub is and we toured Pearl Habor, his new neighborhood, and all the cool spots on the Island he wants to show me. I must say it was cool I understand so much more about everything he talks about. And as for jobs, my son and his roommate said that with the money they are saving from not living on base ( figure that out ) thy can fly me out every couple of months to clean for them ...........I told them to put me on the top of the list.... and when they go out for 6 months i think I'll house sit..............lol

Amy what island/base is your daughter stationed at, my son has been ther for a couple of years if they are close maybe he can help her out with getting to know the area, I found it funny when kellen was home over the holiday an his "boss" kept calling him to get info on the area because he hadn't been there before ( I told him one time when he called that he will be owing my son an extrra day off when I'm there, sfor taking up so much of his time while at home.............LOL) I love the "yes mamm"

Marie when you wear those heels please write to me and let me know how it goes...I got hurt in July of 06, this is my 3rd surgery, and have not worn heels since....besides dancing on the beach heels is one of my goals....

Hang in there Marie this is my second replacement, so if you end needing that ever have that done I'll let you know which way to not have it done....lol.and it takes at least a year to start feeling better ( from what my Dr's tell me)
As far as the cold I always thought that anything lower than 0 would all feel the same . Well let me tell you I have never felt anything as cold as last friday........ and to think we have homeless out there ....has given me a different focuse !!!
I personally think we will see some of the airfares drop alittle by summer. As soon as people stop spending the money they think we are getting from the Gov. What do you guys think.....I'm so happy that my son has an Apart. at least I don't have to worry about paying for rooms...............lol
I told him I'd just go out and clean for them every couple of months.....

Heather if your guy is on a sib maybe they are out and he can't talk....
