I have been away for awhile. Very rocky holiday season. after all the excitement of getting to have SF home for the holiday I was called away for all but 4 days of his leave. My dad passed away Dec 27th.... my husband had stroke type symptoms Dec 28th... the funeral in Md. Dec 31st. SF left Hou. on Jan 2. while I was still in the frigid north tending to estate issues. I didn't even get a picture of him while he was home. Well I'm back heres hoping you all had a great start to your new year. Hoping to hear all news on sailors orders and other news. SF finishes A-school on Feb. 3. Then orders maybe hold time. I'd sure like to go see him in SD.

hey guys I know it's been a few months since I've been on here .A lot has happened recently. Our holidays were ok. My sailor came home for about a week and a half to spend with my family and I and it was great. But this year the holidays were even more important to us because of our families. His trip was cut short and he had to take extended emergency leave past his holiday leave to go back to see his dad in Indiana. He had seen him for a few days in the beginning of holiday leave before flying out here. His dad was sick and he passed away on January 2nd. It's been hard for all of us esp. my fiance. His dad was his world. Even though I only met his dad once I spoke to him regularly and we made a good relationship of father and daughter in law on the phone. He'll be sorely missed and I just ask everyone to pray for us as we get through this a day at a time. My sailor's back in A school now and he graduates next month then his orders are to be back on the east coast :) God- willing. We are trying to plan our wedding through all of this for early next year. Hope everyone is doing well and i'll be back soon. Here are some pics to follow :

My son is at Ft Belvoir VA. Not sure where Wallops Island is.He is really loving the area. Has been to DC and Maryland a few times already. I live in NC and he is only 6 hours away which is nice.

Yes reenie, he is on the Vinson. I'm hoping that with the amount of guys that were going to be with him, they all manage to get there safe. I know he is probably there by now. Waiting for him to send that first email. He had his telephone card from BC still and it had over 400 minutes on it. It also could be used for international calls but I really wasn't expecting him to call me. About the spelling errors-Don't worry, I knew what you meant. Haha.

reenie-Mailed Steph's card today. Found one at the Post Office, of all places, that I thought would do the trick. I signed it Navy For Moms and my name. Wrote a short note, too. Made my heart glad. Everyone have a great evening. Now I'm just waiting to hear that my Sailor made it safely to the ship. It will be a long wait, I'm afraid.
