Good afternoon everyone!! Sorry I've been MIA lately but I've been trying to get everything done by this moving deadline!! I got all the important stuff moved to the trailer so hubby and I are living in it as of this weekend!! Unfortunately some things were just dropped off wherever we could find space with the intent that I'll find places to put everything away later!!!! Right now we can't use our table or our couch!!! Now I'm going through everything left over in the apartment and either packing it, donating it or throwing it away!!!!! Crazy!!!!!

Good Morning to Everyone.
JappyShip, it usually is in the morning or afternoon after. BS is a mystery to most people because the recruits are not suppose to tell anyone about them. If you are there now, we will be there for you while you wait. Enjoy the ride and have a tissue when the call comes. I still cry at the thought of my daughters call. I was so proud of her and still am.
No baby yet. Has some contractions yesterday after the boat ride but once she got water in her they stopped. Baby will come when it comes or else it will be sometime next weekend.
