Oh don't worry, I'll be posting!! We fly out tomorrow afternoon-we used to live 15 miles from GL and never even knew it existed. I swore I would never go back to Illinois-guess I shouldn't swear anymore. LOL! I'm hoping to meet some other ladies here but it seems like they're not on as often as I am. I lurk around 4 different sites now, shameful!!! BC for moms has been so great, and the 6-7 PIR group has been awesome, as I'm sure your PIR group is as well. If nothing else you and I can get together sometime, after PIRs. You'll be pretty busy next week as well so maybe after that? I hope some other ladies on this site sign in soon. :)
msrb.....Thanks for responding! Yes I am beyond excited! I can't imagine how thrilled you must since you are just days away! I hope your trip is beyond your greatest expectations. It has been an adventure and I'm sure many more lie ahead. Have a wonderful trip & I can't wait to read about if after you return.....well if you have time to post, I would love to read it! :0)
Hi JJ4Navy! Nice to meet you! It's nice to know there are other IE people out there, going through or already gone through the same things! I hope to meet others in this group but you're the only one so far! You're right behind me as far as PIRing goes-isn't it exciting???
Hi ladies....I found this group thru a discussion between mrsb & Heather on BC for moms too! I'm in Chino Hills & my SR's PIR is 6/14. He will stay in GL for A school. Looking forward to being a part of this group! :)
Good morning all! I just found this group through Heather on BC for moms! My son will PIR this friday morning and I can hardly wait!! I was hoping there were more ladies here in the IE-I live in Rancho and am so happy to join you!
Been pretty quiet on here - how is everyone doing? College son is thinking about transferring to a small college in Oregon so we are taking a trip to Portland next week to check out the school and meet with the coach. If he does transfer it will be a 16 hour road trip instead of just 30 minutes away like he is now! :(
Sailor son is still waiting for power school to start. First they were told May 8, then June 24th and now he is hearing July 8th. Nothing official though.....
Juliebelle - how is your son doing in Power school?
Any plans for another get together?
cbc mom - I can't make the event tomorrow but I am hoping sometime in the future to attend a Blue Star meeting. Hope you all have a great time!
With Mother's Day this Sunday I thought that I would share this - I borrowed it from SoCalOhana back in January:
"I will cry without shedding tears, cringe without showing my fears, pray without moving my lips, dream always of incoming ships.....for I am the mother of a U.S.Sailor" Author Unknown
Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day and big hugs to all of you! :)
No can do on Blue Star on 5/11 ... we'll be in SA to watch our dau graduate from A school that weekend (and she leaves for her first duty station shortly there after). Sorry to all.
Hi All - gonna miss everyone at the lunch tomorrow - college son has his track championships so we will be at that.
We did make it to So. Carolina last week for sailor son's A school grad. Had a great time and it was soooo good to see him. Charleston is a lovely place to visit! He'll stay there as he waits for Power school to start....
Hope to see you all at the next gathering!
