Enjoyed our weekend in Kingsville immensely! The Blues were wonderful and we got to see the briefing room, squadron and watch DS "hosting" at the plane. Answering questions from visitors and posing for pictures. He even got asked for his autograph from a little tyke.
He is getting ready to leave for a DET; weapons and low-level flying training. Praying that he and DIL adjust to their first separation. She's pretty quiet and shy but has several plans for while he is gone, so I'm very proud of her.
Navy wife and mom: so sorry for your loss. So good DS got to come.
Barb: what a relief that SERE is over!

Shelia, the Blue Angels are in Smyrna, TN June 14-15. If there are other LO's coming, we should get something going, maybe a tailgate!

Hi there, Thanks for the kind thoughts these last two weeks while DS was at SERE...we got the "survived" text on Thursday afternoon and I couldn't have been happier. Our LOs give so much, I am just so proud. What a grueling experience. Have a great weekend...we've got two games to watch Sunday for the Elite 8 and then next week my daughter and I get to go hug up DS!

NOAM, our DS got a piece of arresting cable when he finished CQ's. So far he is hanging on to it and not letting us have it!!
Blue Angels are coming to Middle Tennessee this year too!
DS's squadron have left Fallon for their return to Japan. Some beautiful pics on Facebook over Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. How many of you wake up and look at Facebook first thing in the morning to see if our LO's have posted pics? Usually our DS is tagged in someone else's picture, but it starts my day off with an awww!!
Returned a week ago from Dubai, UAE and Oman. Very beautiful scenery and a busy 2 weeks doing touristy stuff! I was glad to have had the opportunity to be there while my sister was teaching. This summer she transfers to India, so I guess I know where I am going next!!
Started back in Nursing this week after a 7 year hiatus. I have missed it, and didn't realize how much until this week. So blessed to have recovered fully from my brain injury 7 years ago!

They changed the look of the site several weeks ago...I figured it was similar to facebook's many changes. They just sort of happen one day.
We are heading to Kingsville this weekend for the air show. Can't wait to see the Blue Angels fly and get a tour of the base from DS and his wife. I've always loved seeing the Angels; I will have a different perspective this time knowing that DS will be flying an F18 very soon!

Hi all! My page is different as well. Guess it's meant as an improvement.
Suzie - where did you get an arresting cable? Very intriguing.
