Love the pictures Blondie
Cjbmom great pic also
Well I got some news yesterday, I wasn't expecting. My baby girl got her orders and Is going to Bahrian after A School. I was a complete mess yesterday. We had talked about where she wanted to go but never was this an option. It was a total shock. It took me most of the day to wrap around it, and explain to her siblings. Her sister was ok, well she's not one to show emotions to others. He brother who she is close with had fifty thousand questions and was puzzled like I was. This is definitely going to be big change for us, but excited to see the adventure and journey she's going to do. So just pray for our family. We still have a Lil time with her but I know it will go fast. Just sucks she will be leaving b4 The holidays.

Good morning evryone,
Blonde love the pictures, he is so cute, and growing so fast.
So it turns out it wasn't my car leaking, it is my hubby's car...geesh. I happened to park my car where his is always parked. And he jumped to it was my car. Well either way, still going to cost money. Oh well
Crystal went to her dr. yesterday, he told her to finish her Medes, and get lots of rest.. She said she is feeling better. She was cooking dinner when I talked to her. Meeting some friends for Happy Hour after work today. Have a good day everyone.

Vickyrun, it is my cousin. And it is the lake fire, she lives about 45 minutes from the town that burned. It is so sad for everyone, stay safe my sister! Praying for you too.
Oleander, happy you had a good visit with your girl. Just being with them is the best. Been to the midway too, and that statue also. Live about 1 hr north of San Diego. My cousin was stationed on the Midway for 8 years.
Anna, Crystal goes to see her dr. Tomorrow, she said she is feeling better today, but still weak. Will take time. Things are getting better at work, they are talking to me now, and helping more. Said that the things I have done are saving them time.. Well yeah..LOL Not so stressed now, hope it continues to get better.
Happy your trailer is fixed, sad you had to say see you later. Hate the leaving part. I was crying reading it. Hugs my sister.
Blonde, happy you got the long talk, and that she got her package.
Jean, I too love the weekends. Why can't we work 2 days, and have a 5 day weekend..LOL
Went to go to work, and my car was leaking transmission fluid... Dang. Hubby took me to work, so the car goes to the shop tomorrow. Hope it is nothing serious, not wanting to buy another car.

spyder,
Is your daughter happy about getting out? Will she go back home where you are? What are her plans for the future? Sorry for all the questions - but you know me - - always curious(nosey)!!! ha ha
Catsmom,
Hope the ladies learn how awesome you are as a manager and start to come around to your ideas of doing things. Change is always hard and I found that when you're working with people who have been in the system for awhile they just get complacent and can't see trying something new!!!
Hope your fires are out by now. How's your daughter doing?
Oleander,
Hope things are getting better for your girl. Can I send her some encouraging cards/letters? Congrats on her winning!!! I hope that settles some of the other shipmates down!!
So glad you had a wonderful visit in San Diego. I was there at that statue also. Isn't it hugh????
Vickyrun,
Be careful. Fires can change quickly but I know you are keeping track of things!!!
Well our family visit is over. :`( This morning we said goodbye to Sailor Son, wife and daughter. I knew it was going to be rough saying these last goodbyes when I started crying last night just saying goodnight to the granddaughter!! We got all the repairs done to the trailer, new tire, hydraulics fixed and some cosmetic repairs to the underside caused by the shredded tire. Had a couple visits to Virginia Beach!! All in all it was an awesome time spent in VA!!! Now we're making our way slowly down to FL to find our winter layover!!
Have a great week everyone!!!

Hi all, I haven't checked in for a while. No Navy news to report.
Catsmom, there a a few huge fires burning in Northern California. Which one is your friend near? I live near the Butte fire, but I have not had to evacuate. Many of my friends had to evacuate.
