sailorjayship-I got my map way back earlier this year when my sailor deployed. I was putting little notes on it for each port call but after he got back I went back through the ship's FB page and figured out where they had been and what days they had been there. I typed it up and went out and bought a document frame and put it in there. Even if the map doesn't go with him in the years to come, he will always have that nicely framed listing of where he was and when. Also, you don't have to mess up the map on the wall. LOL. If I can get a good picture of it I will post the page of port visits on here so you can see how I did it. Also, I read somewhere on one of my other N4M sites that one mom had made a spreadsheet to keep up with all the Sailors that she knew and where they were.

Better late than never! lol I still check in from time to time. My sailor has been to almost every side of the states. From GL to Mississippi to San Diego. He is where he will remain until 2015 except for his deployments. So good to see our page active again! Feels like old times!!!!!

Oh yes, I was so excited to get my car after going almost a whole year with no real kind of transportation. Taking taxis in Pensacola was interesting, I have to admit, and we always had a lot of fun, but it's always kinda a pain when you know what the luxury is of owning your own vehicle. I can only imagine what it is like for you guys to be missing him like that. It must be especially difficult on him and Daisha. I can deal with my boyfriend being gone for four months... barely... but to think of them only having been able to see each other 3-4 times in the past year??? I'm sure I could do it, but it's definitely gotta be tough. I agree, much easier when they're back in port. My boyfriend only went underway about 2 weeks ago and I was going bizzerk the first week because I had only gotten one email from him. Definitely difficult to get used to since I was so used to getting a hold of him every day pretty much anytime I wanted. Have a good night, and I just friended you on facebook so you will probably see that next time you sign on!

Oh the sweet freedom that a set of wheels can give you. I know how much you are missing your sailor. Daisha and I missed Cody something awful while he was on deployment, it is a little easier now since we can talk to him a bit more often. I have to go to bed, but find me on on FB and we can chat from time to time

Yeah, everything is going good for the most part. My hours are long, but I work four days on, four days off. I usually hang out with Cody at least once during my off days. He is really excited to get it, means he will probably visit more often because typically I've been driving to norfolk to pick him up, then going back to virginia beach to hang out there, then driving back to norfolk to drop him off, and it's like a 30-40 minute drive each way! So it's hard to find time to do that. He is always so anxious to go out and do things when he's out of work, too, whereas I am always exhausted and want to relax, so I don't make the trip too often. Yes, my boyfriend is still out to sea, he is supposed to come back to Virginia sometime in October. Cody knows him as well because we were brother divisions with each other, so they stayed in the same compartment at boot camp. I am really excited for him to come home. It's rough going this long without him! It's already been about two months since he left virginia, and now another two to go *sigh*

Haha, I just looked at your picture and I recognize you also. Hope everything is going well. His car is on its way to him now. His brother and grandpa are driving it to him, I am sure he is excited to get it. Is you boyfriend still out to see?
