NurseNavyMom - we were in the Smoky Mountains this weekend too! In fact, we were shocked when we had a knock on our door Saturday; when my hubby opened it, our DS and DIL had come down from Virginia to surprise us! We hadn't seen him for several months and I was in dire need of a son 'fix', so after I stopped crying tears of joy, we had a wonderful couple of days.
Hope you all had a safe and wonderful holiday as well.

gonavymom, yes, DIL did lose her phone in the lake. But. other than that she is doing well.
Not much word from DS, with a 16 hour time difference and a crazy work schedule, communications have been few. He does talk to his wife and I keep up with things through her.

Hi Everyone,
It's been a quiet summer, our DS has been doing sims, but still no flights and it sounds like it will be awhile. He's enjoying the west coast though and I'm thankful he's not in the earthquake zone!
Just thought I would throw this out there as part of an awareness campaign--my husband and I are training for the Marine Corps Marathon this fall and will be running for charity. We selected Fisher House, an A+ rated military charity. I was unaware of all that they do--Fisher Houses are all over the world, typically near major VA hospitals and trauma centers. They provide a home like setting at no charge, to military families so they can be near their LO during a medical crisis. It was so heartwarming to learn more about them and the way they support military families in times of medical crisis. So, part of what we signed on to do is raise awareness about them, so I've shared that! Secondly, we are raising funds for them. If you are at all interested in learning more about Fisher House or supporting our efforts, we are Team Super Hornet...here's a link: http://www.teamfisherhouse.org/goto/barbandkent
Have a great day!

Helomom: Thoughts and prayers for you & your DS underway. I know some other aviators on that cruise but not mine. I'm recommitting to persistent prayer for our aviators, especially with the recent events in the middle east.
JudyM: Your DIL came down to spend time with my DS & DIL when they were here for an inpromptu Seafair weekend. She brought a couple other F18 pilots with her and they all had a great time on the boat & watching the Blue Angels. I was so glad that she came down but she did unfortunately drop her cell phone into the lake....What do you hear from the deployed one?

DS and DIL are on their way to Lemoore. Found a house to rent; furniture will arrive promptly. And then he leaves for SERE. Another round of nail-biting for Momma.

JudyM - Oh my! That was trial by fire. Glad your DIL did well.
James - sounds like a great deal of fun! Enjoy.

Cheri, i think the moving in and the aviators leaving so quickly is the Navy's way of trial by fire for the wives (haha). My daughter-in-law arrived on a Tuesday, DS left on Sunday for SERE. She started a new job on Monday. No car, only a bicycle, and while he was gone it was her birthday. I was in awe that she handled it so well!

Praying for all our aviators involved in Iraq. May each be safe and successful in their mission.
