Hi all - We will be moving to the West Palm Beach area. Not sure where yet - Jupiter, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach. It is about 1 1/2 hrs north of Miami. I am actually looking forward to it. Will be closer to Spencer, only a day drive, so that will be nice.

Ladies, my daughter (having number 3) is set to have a C-section next Wed. If you could keep her in your prayers, that would be great. I will let you all know when and what as the time comes. We will go down to help her on Sunday.
Craig is in FL now, some kind of competition going on that he is part of.

Trina,
I also wanted to say thanks for keeping us updated. Florida! You didn't say what area. Jacksonville, Pennsacola, Fort Meyers, .....can you give us a hint?
Our son Eric Robert lived in the Jacksonville area and loved it. So did we since the flights were rather inexpensive. He lived in a really nice area south of town. It was so quiet compared to being closer to town. You will have to let us know where your big move takes you. I just know that you will make friends easily and your new house will become a wonderful home!

Trina, thanks for posting on the mother. She is driving out to see her son, about a 24 hour drive, so pray for her safe travel.
Congrats on your move! I've left family and friends for big moves. It is more exciting than scary. You will be fine :) Send us some nice weather in the winter!!

Hi all - been a while since I have been on. For some reason I 'stopped following' and I don't know how.
One of our MN Navy moms needs our prayers - her son was a Nuke on the USS Enterprise (where my son is stationed) and he attempted suicide 1 1/2 weeks ago. She posted on another group, but wanted to share the info here, because she is just heartbroken. He can't be a Nuke anymore, and is just upset over this, but there were other things going on. She also had a stent put in right around the time this happened, so they are both suffering right now.
On another note - I am moving to Florida! My husband is being transferred down there, so we are moving. Excited, yet scared. Leaving family and friends and everything. No firm word on when we are moving, but we are looking for places down there as we are hoping it is soon!!
