Hooray!! Almost time for spring break! So much rain this week here in Texas that I will gladly drive out tomorrow morning headed for San Diego to see my girl!!! She is almost 33 weeks prego and just got approved for military housing and needs to move ASAP. Her Marine hubby is leaving on deployment in just a few weeks and will not be in the country for the birth :( This momma is shuffling papers to be sure I can get there for the birth. But the trip this week is just a delivery of furniture. But I guess it looks like we will be helping her move!!
So excited to see my girl, but will be stopping at Carlsbad Caverns on the way to celebrate my birthday and our 25th anniversary since we likely won't be able to afford any other trip but going to see our girl and the new baby!!
Blessings to all as our weather across the country improves and spring begins to bloom!

Good Morning to Everyone.
Happy Friday to all.
Vickyrun, have him try yoga. I know men don't like to do that. But it has helped my knees a lot. I am almost pain free. It is the weeks I don't go that I pay for it. Even the rain which usually bothers me doesn't any more. Plus there is a lot of men in my yoga class. So it is not just for women. LOL.
Splash, thank you. I wanted to put a picture up that actually shows her length. She is only 7 months old but a size of a one year old. Christina is having a hard time keeping her in cloths. The cloths that are meant for a year old don't feet her. The waist is to big. LOL. I think she has her dads build and her moms height. We'll see.

Hi all! I am anxiously awaiting the weekend to see if I get a much needed phone call. I'm hoping she has received some of my letters. Does anyone know if they receive mail everyday in boot camp or just once a week?

Good morning,
Seems that my sailor son-in-law Aaron (Chrissy's husband) has some health problems. A bad knee, an old war injury apparently. It flares up sometimes. Chrissy has taken him to the ER several times. Because he likes to run when he isn't suppose to, tough guy that he is. Now he is doing cross-fit instead of running. I hope that helps.

Good Morning to Everyone.
Anna, will do. I hope I get it. It sound like the kind of job I did for my old company. You, know the one that laid me off because they said they went paperless. I know the real reason but I am glad to be gone from there and this job I am finishing up with now.

Vickyrun,
Well I will continue to keep you and your children in my prayers. Maybe time will either improve the opinions of your youngest's fiance or Marsha will realize this may not be the best option for her. But I hope the sister's get closer as they get older!!!
Jean,
I forgot to mention about you loosing your job. I hope another one comes along soon for you!!! I read that your phone interview went well, so I hope this works out for you!!! Keep us posted!!!
