Is there a Nuke Ball in GC? If so, When?
My Sailor said that chances are he won't be able to come back for my prom, which ultimately sucks.
A friend of mine who has a fiancee in Groton CT said they had a SUB Ball, Do nukes have this? If so, when? I'm wondering mainly because he has asked a few people and absolutely no one he has asked knows, not to mention he's new in GC, if anyone knows, or has input that'd be much appreciated, thanks!:)

It'll all work out, nicole. :)
My first weekend (alone) with my sailor was Thanksgiving last year. We went to the beach... it was 80 degrees. AMAZING. :)I'm hoping I can go to the ball! I'll be attending college only four hours away, so being there won't be an issue for me. It might be an issue if the ball is after Aaron graduates prototype though or if he has to work the night the ball is. He missed both my Junior and Senior prom, so I'm hoping to make it to one. :)

Yeah, i'll be missing my prom most likely, because I don't wanna go if Gaige can't go.

Yup. I didn't go. Thought about it... but didn't go. I was pretty emotional about the whole deal. If it wouldn't have been horrible timing (his Power School Comp was the Tuesday after my Prom), he would have been able to come. But he did his best to be understanding about it. And he skipped out on guys night to stay home and talk to me... even though I worked on homework all night so I wouldn't get behind in class when I went to see him the next weekend. And it meant the world to me that he did so.
You'll get through it, I promise. But no promises that it'll be easy.
Just remember that it's okay to cry sometimes. :) -

Definitely. Almost did some crying tonight. His mom kinda got EXTREMELY upset about us wanting to get married. She didn't listen to anything he said, she assumes we're going to get engaged, then get married a month later, in reality it'd be almost 10 months later. He planned on talking to my dad and asking to marry me in december(he still might, because he may not be able to come back home 2 months later) but she wants him to wait until our 1 year, in february, which is only 2 months after what he planned, which we dont get at all. & to us it makes perfect sence to be engaged longer and have everything planned out, like written plans and such, so that once we are ready to actually get married, we'll be able to because we'll have it planned, and it won't be last minute.
