Good morning everyone,
Happy Friday! Wearing my red.
Sonya, Crystal is due on July 31. Praying your girl gets the rate she wants. Also that she has a safe deployment.
Jean, I want to copy the picture and frame it too. How is Aurora doing? Waiting for new pics. They grow so fast. Hope you got some sleep.
MartiB seems the Navy has a way of doing that, everyone is at their time. Yes this is my first Grandchild. So excited! Enjoy your time with yours, almost there.
Blondie, hope the weather is going to get better and stay there.
Gotta run, have a good Friday everyone, Hugs to you all.

Hi everyone. I am going to make this short since being tired seems to make my words jumbled. Thanks, I will get to bed early. Nap is out of the question. If I do that I will not sleep tonight. LOL. Love the picture of the baby. I have one of Aurora on my shelf. It is her 1st picture.

Catsmom: Great pics!!! I know you and Crystal are so excited!! When is the baby due?
Julyasmom: Welcome!!! My daughter is almost a year in and is stationed in Florida...as Blondie stated I think a boot camp group had been created new recruits. Please stay in touch with us tho...we can share experiences and give lots of encouragement & support.
Anna: My daughter will deploy later this year for 7-8 months. She has been doing her underways for a couple of weeks at a time. She wants to become an LS (Logistics Specialist)…. Hopefully she will hear something soon. She applies every month for a rate.
Blondie: So sorry for your loss!!! We will be praying for you and your family!
Leach73: Thanks for the encouragement! I’m glad to hear that your daughter has survived all of the grunt work and received her rate. Tell her to take lots of Spain pics!! We are so excited & proud of her too!
Vickyrun: Sounds like you are really enjoying yourself with the trips/retreats! It’s nice to be able to getaway sometimes!!!
Jean, MartiB_TX: Hello, hope all is well with you!!!
Spyder013: Thanks for the welcome! How are Ya?

Catsmom thanks for sharing the photos. I know you must be so excited about a new grandson. Is this your first? Mine will be 4 in May and I am going to be in Bremerton for the event - so exciting. Fyi it must be somewhat difficult to get days off in the Navy and they have to put in early for the dates they want. As soon as i said some tentative dates she asked off leaving me no wiggle room with my time but that's ok i finally got my husband to understand that those were the dates she was available and he had to work within those parameters.
I love reading all your stories but don't get on daily so a little hard to follow what is going on sometimes.

Julyasmom, welcome to the group!
Everyone have a good day.
