Good afternoon all, Chrissy has given spoons and shot glasses as I collect those. And postcards. I freaked out when I got the 1st postcard from the "sandbox". I worry too much. I was crying this morning thinking about her going on her 2nd deployment and she hasn't even left yet! I need to clam down and relax. Hopefully I will feel better when she gets here for her "leave" vacation and I get to hug her!
Yes, Blondie, I believe in the power of prayer. I prayed for your daughter. I hope she feels better soon. The Navy has good medical care.
Jean, I hope she gets the Patrol job, then she can be home with baby. And not away on deployments.

Blondie, praying for your girl. Hugs to her.

Still haven't heard about that job interview. I am going to call today about it so I will let you know later.
Update on Christina. She applied to be a State Patrol Office. She told me last night that they have asked her to come in and take a mini exam and if she passes that there is other testing she will have to do but the big thing is if she gets the job she will be not going in the Marines. So part of my worry will be gone. Then I will just have to worry about her being out there with all the nuts on the road. LOL. I will keep you updated.
Babysat Aurora yesterday. For the first time since Aurora was born she was fussy. She was fighting sleep and didn't want to go and so she cried until she did fall asleep. She is very much crawling now. She moves very fast and Christina has to pretty much run to keep up with her. She will be walking soon, she already is pulling herself up on to things. Man they grow up so fast.

So I tons of stuff from places I have never been. lol Nice pics, Blondie.
