Mrs. B - sorry to hear about the morning sickness reoccurred. Take care of yourself. I'm really happy for you that you are getting settled into your life as a Sailor's wife and that you had a great weekend together.
McWife - the picture of you and your husband rocks. So happy for you two.

Awesome pic Maureen! It says everything we were feeling! Joy, sadness, surprise, happiness, and love..... Glad you've been able to talk to D! That's great! I'm really glad we had a chance to visit at M&G and the Hotel! I'm excited to get some pics from the M&G since my hubby was having technical difficulties with the camera. Thanks for all your hard work to make sure it all worked out! I also appreciate your support and knowledge when we needed it!

Helllllllllllooooooooooooo Friendsssssssssssssssss !!
So good to have met so many of you and get to know you. PIR weekend was truely amazing and I believe lifetime friendships have been formed. Who wouldve thought that we all would get close and depend on one another to get through those 8 long weeks. Like I said at the Meet N Greet, thank you all so much for all the support and laughs and tears and prayers !!
Iris...so sorry to hear about your sister. How rude was that ? Gheesh. Mcwife...love the picture. You two look good together :) Mrs B....so glad you didnt go into labor last weekend . Make sure you rest now. AJ- so glad that you are still in GL';s and can spend more time with your son. Wave to D for me ok ? Dyls Mom....so glad that you made it back to OK safely. That is a long ride home.
It was hard to leave D last Sunday, but we have texted and talked a lot so its been good. At least we have that now huh ? A few weeks ago, we didnt get to talk all the time to our Sailors.
Im going to start posting some pictures of the Meet N Greet. I remember a lot of names ( Screen names from here) but if you all wouldnt mind helping me out, Id appreciate it. Here is a few of me and D
I got to hug him first, and we were both in tears...as you can see, he was holding on pretty tight !!
My handsome Sailor !!

Hey AJ, I never got to ask you where you were from in Colo? I know my hubby told you that I used to live there but he didn't tell me where you were from. I am so relieved to know that i'm not the only one feeling so sad... i'm happy but i'm sad too. I know you know exactly what i'm talking about because you're a Navy Mom! ha! I took his pic to his g-ma (my mom) and she bawled, then i bawled....oh my! maybe i should have gone to work today!

Iris - thank you so much for posting all of your pictures. We were down at the other end, so this helped to flesh out the whole graduation ceremony. You caught a great picture of my son walking in with his division through the open door that we could not get from so far away .... and that marching in moment was amazing. Thanks for your thoughtfulness in sharing.
