He probably won't be one for the sports unless his stuff is out of the way. He's been doing 3 hours a night voluntarily, because of him not fully understanding homework. Really hoping against this hurricane though:/ Headed right for charleston!!!:(
Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 24, 2011 at 4:10pm

It's pretty ridiculous, because I wasn't AT ALL the "Gaige is MINE and only MINE" type. When it comes to women hitting on him, i'll put them in their place, but what girl in her right mind wouldn't? But to his family? No. I think they strongly beleive the phone works one way. Which it DOESN'T. His sister that's my age is the only one who will even reply to a text I send. I told him i'd try, but if they didn't repond that I was sorry, but i'm done trying when they don't even put forth an effort. I called his mom after school, and she didn't answer, so I left a message for her. Hopefully she will contact me by the end of today, because I don't want this to be HIS problem, yes, I want it solved, but I don't want the added stress to his schedule, he doesn't need to deal with it, at all. I think it's very important to hold a relationship with eachothers families, very important. I think there's a jealousy issue with them though. That he texts me everyday, and he said he'd try to contact them more, so we'll see.

Bleh.

Counting to snow...I know:( Unfortunate isn't it?!?!!? But oh well. That's okay with me! it'll be almost my birthday by then!

Well, they aren't "in-laws" but still..it's ridiculous because I would walk off and do my own think at Gurnee PIR weekend so they would have time, then he would ask me to walk with them, and hold his arm. At the airport i'd go to the bathroom and take extra long, messing with my hair or whatever, so they would have time, but they would get mad when he would ask me to help carry his sea-bag and stuff. Which you know, they didn't give ME alone time with him either. So maybe had his sister not crawled into bed with us when we were napping at the hotel, there would've been what we considered 'alone time' for the weekend. But no, 3 people, 1 full size bed.
Comment by Mrs.B_Div 302_Ship9 on August 23, 2011 at 12:49am

Ohhh, Nicole...

 

1st off... I LOVE THE DRESS!

 

2ndly... do what Gaige said...BRUSH IT OFF. Ughhhh....in laws are the worst sometimes, huh?  LOL...well, just let them get used to the idea some more. Maybe next time you all are together, as hard as this will be, let him have some alone time with his family. Even if that means going to the hotel an hour early, or something?

 

(((HUGS)))) as Gaige said, you did nothing wrong and you have EVERY right to be with him all the time, anytime, etc. They don't need to be jealous, but it happens. I hope things get better with his family and just enjoy having a b/f that will stand up to his family like he did, for you. That is a man and that is awesome.

 

Love you!

Hope everyone is well, not much conversation here. I am officially back to school and got my early graduation form. I will have all my credits by the end of this year. Only sucky thing is, I won't be going to prom, that's okay though, because we're going to the Navy ball. So that will suffice.

 

Here's a dress I found for 100$

Well, it's official. His family hates me. Aside of his youngest sister. His older sister got pissed because I posted my countdown and saying "just skyped with my babe" on MY facebook. MY facebook. She got upset because he was talking to me more. I AM HIS GIRLFRIEND. Good.Effing.God. So she had blocked me and I asked him if he knew why and he was just as shocked and confused as I was and he called to try and findout why since PIR his family has not made a single attempt to contact me, AT ALL. I texted them "Goodmornings" and "Have a good days" for about 2/3 weeks after PIR, and NEVER got replies, so after that, I stopped. I figured if they couldn't take 2 seconds to respond, why take 2 seconds to send it? He called them tonight and they said

His sister: Because she posts about seeing you and talking to you all the time.

My Response: I am his girlfriend of over 6 months now, I get slightly more excited to go see my boyfriend, I get excited for that first kiss and to snuggle up with him.

His Response: It's not Nicole's fault. She's my girlfriend.

 

His mom: All of PIR weekend you payed attention to her, cuddled up with her, kissed her, and let her be on your arm.

My Response: Once again, I AM HIS GIRLFRIEND. He was raised by ya'll and has been there since he  was born. Quite frankly, there is more thrill in seeing a girlfriend, or boyfriend, wife or husband(no offence moms). I understand that she was excited, but if it's something only I can do, i'm gonna do it. Cuddling up to him? Kissing him? yeah. I don't see why just because they can't do those things, I should be "punished" because I can. As for holding on his arm, HE initiated that.

His Response: It's not Nicole's fault, she's my girlfriend and I tried to make my time equal for everyone.

 

So basically, they're mad because i'm his girlfriend and get the "Girlfriend attention" is what i'm assuming. I think it's ridiculous but it's whatever.

He told me to brush it off and not stress over it. I did nothing wrong.

I told him until they make effort to contact me, I won't be contacting them.

Very cute Nicole. Bet it will look great on you. What a nice guy to buy you this. I love the little care package you sent him. I know A school kinda sucks and yeah if your roomy is a slob it will get you in trouble too. Just don't understand that but it happens.

This was my gift from Gaige for our 6 month. A beach type of dress from Victorias Secret. I found it, fell in love, and then saw the price tag. ($60, $70 with shipping..OUCH!) Gaige then told me I have "Champange taste with a beer budget".....that statement is true 110% ahah. Anyways he got me that and I got it in the mail yesterday, it's SOOOO cute. I love it. It's casual, but still dressy. I sent him this box, with little things in it such as a lighter for shinning his boots, a picture frame and his favorite photo of us, a bunch of pictures of us and his PIR, 4 wallet size photos of his favorite photo of me(it came in 4's and he's a boy, boys damage things so i figured id send them all!!!) A CLOROX bleach pen for his dress whites, that he can use "on the go". a book of things that i filled in called "what i love about you" and you fill in all the goofy memories and things you love about your S.O, and I figured that'd make him smile on off days, a big bag of his favorite candy (bits o honey) zip lock baggies for their drinks/food in the fridge, a bunch of 5 hour energy shots(he needs them because he is lacking in sleep a lot lately) and i thiiiink that's it. I decorated it pretty nicely, with his favorite color- lime green.

There's his box!!!

I don't know. He's without a doubt a street smarts moron. I don't know how he is a nuke. Oh well. Gaige has pretty great phone reception in his room. Hope today is going well for everyone. Today is gaige and I's 6 month!!! It's crazy how fast it snuck up on us! He's studying for the morning, and maybe doing a watch qual. I got to talk to him for a little bit when he woke up. And i'll get to chat with him once hes done, so i guess all is well:)
Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 20, 2011 at 12:36am

I hope to god that his roomies SLPO switches him. Gaige is going to him first because the place where Gaiges room is is VERY conveniant to where he needs to be from the galley, rickover, and class so he doesnt wanna switch if at all possible.

his roommate has been a problem since he's been there. it's unfortunate, but it will be dealt with.
