"it seems like even though it can be tough, you girls still have fun." I agree too! We do the best we can with what we have. It'll be tough but you'll learn new ways to fit in time to spend with each other and have some fun :)

Thats so awful her hubby asked YOU to watch his lady for the next week. i dont know the situation but as far as im concerned, if some one cheats on you, you should not waste your time, thats just awful makes me sick when i hear stories of women cheating on their sailors, soliders and marines, i couldnt ever imagine wanting to be physical with anyone on else. gross. we have enough to deal with dont obligate your self to baby sit her. =/

i was thinking, and how is it for you guys when he has to go to school in the morning, the reason i as is, is the housing on base far away from where they will have class?im just concerned he will be late, we will only have one car, do you guys drop them off?
is there a must list as far as house hold items that some one might not initally think about when moving there? lol like a mirror, or you know extra lamps, fans? anything you wish you had that you forgot? all the tips and advice are much needed =] thanks for answering my silly questions.
