Good afternoon everyone!!! Just going to take a few minutes to check in here and then I've got to completely finish clearing out the kitchen!!!!
Catsmom,
Love the pics of the beach. When Jenn and I visited out there in Jan, I realized how much I miss southern CA!!!! Just seeing that beautiful mighty pacific, all the Navy everywhere you look, palm trees and everything else!!!! However, remembering when I lived there before I did miss the change of seasons - even snow!!! I guess I just need to find a way to visit more often!!!!! Oh, and not sure what new baby you were congratulating me on from your earlier post!!! Do you know something I don't???? LOL care to share?!?!?!
Jappy,
So happy for you!!!! Hard to believe you have 7 days between you and putting your arms around your sailor girl!!!! It gives me goosebumps just remembering the excitement of the last few days and the relief when you are there waiting, and those big doors open and WOW!!!!!! Have tissues!!!! And if I get a chance to go back to Norfolk to visit my son and his little family I would love to plan a meet and greet with you!!!!! Always look forward to the opportunity to meet a fellow navymom sister!!!!
Jean,
Love that little pic!!!!! I can see the weekend on the horizon. And this should be an exciting weekend for you - if your daughter doesn't jump the gun today!!!! Know that I will be sending prayers for your daughter, you and your whole family!!!!! And we better be the next people you announce news to after family!!!!!!!!
blm,
Hope you enjoy your visit with your daughter and her soon to be inlaws!!! And have a happy shower!!! Jenn is back to finding a florist as the one she had lined up decided to get out the wedding business!!!! Glad she still has time to search!!!
spyder,
How's things going on in your neck of the woods?? Still hot as ****???
Hope I didn't miss anyone or anything!!! I haven't been able to connect my computer to the internet out at our trailer so when I'm sitting around in the evening I can't get online!!! So for the next few days I'll take just a couple minutes out of my time at the apartment to get online real quick and at least try to read up on everyone. What I do after we cancel our internet here at the apartment I'm not sure!!!!!! I'll go nuts if I can't get online to chat with my moms!!!!!!
