So Crystal got a phone call from her command yesterday. After she goes back for more schooling in Jan. she will be stationed in Norfolk. She will be working with an Admrial at his request. They told her your choices are Norfolk, Norfolk, or Norfolk. Was hoping for the west coast, but we go with the flow..LOL

Comment by Emmie on April 29, 2014 at 10:24am

Hello All! 

I so enjoy the reports of the girls! My emotions ran high this weekend with homecomings!! My girl's ship came into San Diego on Friday. I was not able to be on the pier to see her come in! :( I was able to watch it on Sundiegolive.com. I am now able to talk and text her more!!! That is the part I love the most. She is able to be in better contact with us! I missed her so much but refused to tell her that while she was deployed! 8 Months and 2 days and it is over! So glad to have her back in the US. She gets leave around Mother's Day! I can't wait to get my hugs in!!!

My dad starts chemo next week :( And I found out two more friends have cancer!! I don't like that word! Prayers please?

Please keep talking about the wonderful awards our girls are getting! This is the most uplifting page I go to everyday! Thanks to all here! And blessings to all our girls in their adventures!

Emmie

Praying for all that are in the tornado part of the U.S. Hope they stop.

Good Morning to Everyone.

Sorry Blondie about all the rain. I know how you feel. We finally get a drying trend until the weekend then it is back.

Andrea, no surgery can't come soon enough. The weird thing is since I set the date my knee has been feeling a lot better. I decided it was because of the weather. When it get dry and warm I tend to not hurt so much. GO  figure!!!!.

Everyone have a fantastic day. Love though pictures. It takes me back.
