Oh JLC, I don't know what to say, I would be much worse if I was alone here too. You need to join some groups and have some kind of hobbies or something to share with someone else. If you don't already you should try scrapbooking, there are crops in almost every town one a week or at least a couple times a month. Come visit me, we would have a great time :-)

I really didn't think it would be that big of a deal, but it has been, or something has lol. I have just been so emotional the last couple of days. Yesterday was one year for my daughter. and one year from now my youngest son will be preparing to go as well. He will be 18 this summer and is planning to join, but he has one more yr of high school :-) I am glad that I get to talk to my Sailor every day, that helps a lot and she is coming home for our wedding on June 25th and I can't wait to see her again.

Ruthann, I really hope they both make it home at the same time, what a great celebration that will be :-)

Congrats to you Lala. My sailors 1 year date is today. YAY Rus and Sarah got married on friday. Wedding was beautiful. My sailor got married in his dress blues, he looked so handsome. Then they packed everything up in a uhaul and started their trip to San Diego. They got caught in that tornado in Joplin Missouri. Thank goodness someone was watching out for them from above, because they didn't get hurt. So they are still on there way, they should be there by tuesday or wednesday.

still 2 days unil the 1 year mark for me. Every time I think about it I am shocked at how much has changed in the last year. I really do think about your guys all the time. I miss you all and am glad to hear how some of you and your Sailors are doing. We had a very busy weekend here. It was Prom weekend for us. We had 3 of our kids going to prom and of course a couple of their friends here for the weekend. It went very well and they had a great time. Did you know one wrist corsage costs $25.00 ? lol... I couldn't do that for 3 so I made them myself lol. I wonder how the price compares to other places in the US. hummm. My son is the one on the far left, Phils daughters are the 2 in the red dress and the tan dress. And, one more thing, Phil and I are getting married June 25th :-) Please stay in touch <3

So glad to get updates from all you ladies! The 18th was the 1 yr. anniversary of dropping the sailor off at the recruiters office.  I will admit I had to step into the stairwell at work 1 time yesterday to get a few of my emotions under control! He is still in Pensacola, FL. Will finish C school on July 10. At that time he will have 2 more classes to complete in Florida so will probably remain there until the end of the year.  Sounds like his orders will be Norfolk or San Diego - we are all praying hard for San Diego being So. Cal people! He is well, his fiance', Allyson, graduates this summer with her degree in Public Health and their wedding is December 17th.  A wonderful, busy year!

Congrats to Lala on the wedding and everyone else on the great things going on!

NavyMoms are awesome...

I didnt' say it, but I feel I should--thank you all for being there through boot camp.  I didn't find you early enough (dang!), but I am so glad you were there, especially since my son didn't finish up in July as scheduled.  I so needed support then.  N4M is such a lifesaver!

I just knew I would find the one-year reminiscing here with the Queens.

 

Today is the official one-year anniversary of my son being in the Navy.  One year since he flew from Detroit to Chicago for boot camp.  He left home on the 18th, but didn't fly out until the 19th, so today is the day.  Yes, it does seem like one year, but not in a bad way.  It’s really kind of bittersweet:  I really miss him being here at home, but I am so happy for him that he has chosen this path to do something he really wants to do.  And—most importantly--he likes it!  (Reminds me of that old Life cereal commercial, for those moms who are old enough to remember.  “Hey, Mikey, he likes it!”  :D )  He says it doesn’t seem like a year to him.  

When I mentioned this to my daughter, she was very sweet.  She just smiled at me and said, “You are such a mom!”  Well, of course!

 

We will be visiting him next weekend in Goose Creek, SC--first time we will see him in person (love Skype!) since January 1st.  He is scheduled to graduate from Power School on August 12, and will do Prototype either in SC or in NY.  Don't know where yet. 

 

I do love hearing what everyone's sailors are doing.  Still the Navy--but different.

Hey ladies, My sailor is through C school and stationed in San Diego also. He still gets lonely and homesick also. I hadn't seen him since Jan, but he did come home on leave this week to get married. So Sarah and Rus will be getting married on May 20th, in Evansville In. Sarah just grad. University of Indiana, with her Bach. degree is Phsy. Sarah already has gotten an internship- Helping little kids cope with Cancer, so she is looking forward to that.

Oh my gosh..I remember how hard it was for me to get through my sailors BootCamp. I could not have done it if it weren't for you ladies. So thank you girls. I would of been totally lost without you ladies.

 

Has anybody heard their sailor talk about deployment yet? My sailor said that his squadron would probably start deploying in late Dec. That will be scary.
