DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Wow what a year it has been, I had my ups and downs with my Sailor, we ended up breaking up but have remained great friends, I moved away from my family went to school for awhile and now I'm moving back home, things just didn't work out like I thought they would, well it was a wonderful year and many more to come, keep in touch ladies we have had a connection since the beginning, I will be on more miss you all.

Wow, one year ago today I was with Matt, my brother in law, my husband and my so Marc with his beautiful wife Ashley sitting at a sushi restaurant. Matt was craving it. He was also craving a beer but didn't get that until he was granted that liberty in A school. Time really does fly. Seems our sailors have been in the Navy a lifetime. So happy to meet some of you here that weekend. Yup Mary, our division was crazy with it's crazy moms and grandmas. So funny. Brown candle and all! What a roller coaster that was. Now we look forward to new babies being born, new relationships and all the homecomings and trips to see our sailors. I have to say also being a Coastie mom, those moms could never be as great as a Navy mom! Even though the CG is a minute fraction than the Navy, it just seems the navy moms are so much closer to each other. I don't even got to the CG moms sights anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be a Coastie Mom but I love my Navy group!

Iris- Have fun in Hawaii with H. I know you are going to have so much fun.

My daughter is finally home. Such an amazing experience to live through and watch that big old ship come around the corner with the helos flying overhead. My daughter is back to work today at 1830 and every night that I am here. So bummed but I did have an awesome day. So great getting to meet the other N4M's from the Reagan site also.

hey AJ- I've been alright. We're still very very close, best friends, talk everyday, and honestly, we still act like were dating. he does want to be with me, he just wants to know that it will work. that we wont argue, that he wont be too busy to be a boyfriend, and that he will treat me how he wants to- but isnt able to when he's extremely stressed in a new place. So hopefully all works out well. We both have our photos in our rooms up yet, he has my class ring and all the stuff i sent him, and i still have all of his stuff, we agreed we're going to hold on to it because we're not ready to completely call it quits. just need some to ourself space. i'm just hoping that this time apart isn't long because i dont really want like a month "missing" of our relationship. it would kinda be like being in a relationship coma. if that makes sense.

 

Have tons of fun in Hawaii Iris:)) I demand photos when you return. Have a safe trip! and ALOHA!

Comment by iris - Wahiawa, Hawaii on September 8, 2011 at 12:26pm

Hi all ---  Heading to Hawaii tomorrow. It's been REALLY hectic with new job and all.... I will post lots of pics when I get back and I swear I won't be so AWOL. I miss you all.

 

Nicole - hang in there sunshine. Heartache stinks, but apparently is part of life. It never gets easier or hurts less each time, but you learn what you want and don't want in a partner with each experience. I hope everything works out the way it is suppose to. RSL and huge HUGS!

 

Hugs and RSL to you all. Aloha!!!!

Nicole Sweetheart ...... you've been on my mind ..... how are you?

 

I hope this brings a smile to your face.  <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/26784202?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;autoplay=1" width="398" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe>

In less than a week its going to be one year since our friends and family members have graduated, I can not be more proud of where they are now and what they have accomplished, Congrats to everyone.
Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 29, 2011 at 7:14am
thank you donna, i am!
Comment by Donna-Amanda's mom on August 29, 2011 at 1:25am

Hurley- What an absolute beautiful story. If I had one like that I would let everyone know.

Nicole- Just hang in there. If it was meant to be, it will. We all know how busy he is right now and there really isn't much time for anything else. I still don't hear from my daughter much and it is usually a one liner. Just let him concentrate on what he needs to do right now. Be his supporter, friend, etc cause that is what he is capable of having or needing at this moment. He needs to be able to prove he can do his job to the best of his ability and not needing to worry about others while trying to do it. Go back, concentrate on school and your plans for the navy life while you wait. Not saying love doesn't hurt, cause it does.This is a way for you to work around that hurt and concentrate on you also so you can do your best at what you want in your life.
