Comment by JoshsWife_ET-GL on March 11, 2011 at 1:07am: Hi All!

Last time i was on my sister was taking her final big step towards graduating Army bootcamp, well she did not make it. She has been chaptered out and is awaiting processing to be sent home. She has to wait 6 months and can then reapply to join the Army, which intells MEPS all over again.

In better news, Josh has graduated ATT at the top of his class and has started A school! Im so proud of him! My daughter Brooke has starting holding conversations and speaking in full sentences clearly. I am so proud of the little booger she is turning into, haha. I am turning 21 on the 14th and am so excited!!!! But of course my birthday month has not gone off unhitched, unfortunately. My Great Grandmother whom i adore and look up to, has got Ataxia, and has gotten much worse since we have moved away. The drs have given her 2 months if that. i was planning a trip down to go see her (final goodbyes and to be with my family) but our truck decided to break down. And of course had to be a very expensive repair, therefore delaying my trip for for who knows how long.... but again trying to keep my head up!!!!

And finally for my best news.... My husband and I have decided to have another child!!!!! I am very excited!!! My husband seems to be even more excited then me as he has already picked the name if we have a boy..

Thanks for listening. Its is so nice to come on here and see everyones good news!!!! Congrats!!

Comment by Mom of Joshua, the MA on March 10, 2011 at 1:02am: Cindy - I let my son know about Dillon - he was excited for him! (I guess they're friends on facebook and talk periodically, but Josh hadn't heard the latest)

So are you saving up for a trip out there??? I know I would be!! lol

Comment by Dunesmom on March 9, 2011 at 8:23pm: wow lots and lots going on So great to hear the good news for all!

My sailor turned 20 yesterday and is waiting for security papers to be processed. Just a little longer, ha ha, and then A-school. meanwhile he is working with the seabees to keep busy. Wild weather down south warm then cold. Planning a trip for a couple of day to see our boy, oops sorry young man like i said he is 20 now and i'm sure he will not forget to let me know that. Gotta love um. So happy for you all and your Sailors!
