I just got the call from my son in Division 031.  He said they had been up since 6:00 a.m. yesterday.  He was so tired that he did not even seem relieved.  Sure it will hit him after some rest.

Waiting on my phone call. I seriously just want to sit quietly by my phone all day so I don't miss the call, lol.

Safe traveling to everyone going to PIR! Take lots of pictures and enjoy your sailor. :)

I am packed and waiting for bed time so I can get up early... drop my pups off at the puppy-sitters house and then head to the airport. I have knots in my stomach.. I am trying to stay busy so this day hurries up and gets over with. I know you ladies who are waiting on calls have bigger knots than I do. Those calls will come and some of you will feel relieved and some of you will become more anxious. I was both. Safe traveling to all!

You have a safe trip also.  I might just try and still get a Airplane ticket.  Waiting on the call.....

Merry Christmas to you all.
