Hi Ladies, I still have not uploaded my pictures from PIR...I will when I get a chance. The weekend was spent totally focused on my handsome Sailor, and then the past 2 days have been focused on my unborn baby. I've been resting a lot, because for some reason, morning sickness has struck again! :(
Anyways, life is SO good and I am SO happy that my hubby is done with boot and is now in A-school. He says A-school is awesome and they have fun a lot. He said that almost every hour they get a 15 minute break to run to the head and get something to eat/drink from the vending machines. They even get to have food and drinks in class!!!!! WOW....I'm slightly jealous...in college, where I went, it wasn't allowed! hahaha...:) Anyways...so far everything is going good.
Hope everyone is having a good experience with their Sailor's being in A-school!!!
Blessings~
Mrs. B

Arrived home yesterday afternoon. I so enjoyed my time with S. even got to throw in some time with her friend and her family. It was awesome getting to meet some of you. I plan on posting more later but for now I just wanted to say thanks to all of you, You are some very incredible people! As I went to sleep Thursday night, I thought about some of you and what you have meant through these weeks. Maureen- you are a "mom's mom! Tea- you are our chaplain! Your words and prayers won't soon be forgotten. Iris- thanks for all the cheer and keeping us all life inspired! Michelle- thanks for all the how to's and whens and keeping us on target! God Bless you all! talk to ya's soon!

Oh my!! We just got in from Chicago last night. What a crazy weekend!
Now we are in A-School, housing is being settled as we speak, and we text all the time :]
PIR weekend was amazing :]
There is way to much to put into a message...but, a picture tells a thousand words. I'm happy. He's happy. He's a sailor! Woo!!

God Bless all of you and particularly those who are still feeling the tenderness of goodbyes and uncertainty. May we feel God's good grace as we keep moving forward.

Hi Dyl's Mom -- I definitely remember you from yesterday morning. Let me assure you that you are not the only crybaby in the bunch!
I still feel on the roller coaster and have several thoughts that I am thinking about how I want to post. It feels as hard for me saying goodbye this time, with the exception that he isn't going into the rigors of boot camp and I know it will be easier for him now. I'm a mess and I don't know how to do this. Everything I write here this morning, I delete. So, I shall wait for an easier time. My love to all of you.

Hi All! Just wanted to say how great it was to see everyone! We had a great time and i can't even put into words the thrill i had of seeing my son and spending time with him! Sorry I missed a few of you, I wished I would have had a chance to see everyone but I know how crazy busy it gets.
AJ, glad to know you're still there! We were the ones heading out on Monday morning. Didn't get home until 9:30 last night. Not too bad but a very long 12 hours! ugh!
So now i'm waiting to hear from my son to see when he can get his phone, etc. I think he's moving over to A school today. I sure hope I hear from him today....I miss him sooooo much already and i'm still having a hard time letting go. Does it ever get easier? It sure doesn't feel like it! Just call me the crybaby of the bunch! lol! I guess i'll go see if my pics are ready to be picked up. Sadly, we didn't get that many after PIR. Too much to do, so little time and the camera just never seemed to be there when we needed it. :(
