Well he had said last week that there were no GSM openings so he would be on hold for the winter in GL. But Since he did so well, he's hoping that will change. New orders will come down on 12-23-09, so he'll sign in and see if he has any. He wasn't top grad he was 2nd, which ticked him off, he wanted to be 1st. Hey I was tickled pink at 2nd.

Haven't been on in a while. Thanks for all the prayers and support after my Mom passed away. You guys are the best!
Sam should graduate in Dec. from A school in Pensacola and be home for Christmas. Really looking forward to him being home. He will report to NAS Whidbey Island in Washington sometime in Jan. He is excited about going there. I think he will like it, as he likes outdoor activities like hunting, boating, skiing and stuff and he actually says he misses our Wisconsin winter weather. May change his mind when he is home for a while.

Hi Patty
Steven and "the boys" are out skeet shooting. lol They are being introduced to redneck heaven! I have laughed so much this weekend at Chris, he actually tried and loves fried pork skins! A city boy comes to lower Alabama and loves it. Devin is from North Carolina and is 26 years old but he having great time too. Ladies if you ever get a chance adopt a sailor for the weekend. They are so grateful for family time, for dinner, for watching a movie or shooting a gun. We have enjoyed them as much as they have us. Yes Patti, Daniel and Chris are a lot alike.

I'm so happy! Chris in an angel. He is so much like my Daniel. He brought a friend "Devin" had not been in a home/house since he left for bc. What a blessing it has been to have these two boys here in our home. My husbands parents came by and we all had smoked Boston Butt aqnd Rib eyes. the boys were in Heaven.

Good Morning everyone
Daniel said last night that there are currently no GSM openings anywhere so he will probably be on hold in GL for the winter. Looking for deals on Under Armour! lol poor baby, the southern boy just can't handle the cold. But, I'm blessed he'll have a Chicago mom. Have a good day everyone.
