What happened to everyone is 3.5 years. I can't believe we're not all that far from the four-year mark. Does everyone know yet if their sailors will be staying in the Navy?
Hey what happened to everyone? We used to be one of the most active groops on here. Hope everyone is doing well.
It's been a while. Congrats Sara and Nichelle. It's been a rough and busy year. We lost my mom to cancer a few days after thanksgiving and Brian was deployed and wasn't able to come home. He got home late on Christmas eve, boy would I have loved to see his kids wake up Christmas morning finding thier Daddy home! He was able to get leave and they came down from Washington for 3 weeks. Had a great time seeing them all and the rest of our kids and grandkids at our house. Oh I can't forget the grand doggies too! Hope everyone is doing well. Take care and God Bless
Sandra, Finally found you on facebook. Yep we are still in San Diego and would love to meet up. I'm so happy that Nichelle is having a little one! I agree that everyone seems to have parted ways but everyone is always so busy these days.
Christmas was interesting and Maddie will be an experienced traveler before she turns one. We flew home so everyone could see her and then as soon as we got back to Cali we had to fly back out for Shawn's grandfathers funeral who never met Maddie but supported us thru everything it took to get her. It was very interesting since she is the 34th great grandkid on that side!!!
Today she is 17wks so time flies. Shawn's ship is gearing up and getting tests done before they head to Alaska for the commissioning in May which his mom is going and helping us pay to go meaning after that trip Maddie will on been on 11 planes by the end of May!! I hope everyone is doing great!
Happy Holidays to everyone.
Wow, three years!
Ed is in Virginia. He returned from deployment in November. He loved visiting Italy, Greece, and Dubai. He will be attached to the E, until June. He is an Engineman and will be headed to Japan this summer... for a couple of years.:(( Ed is planning to reenlist...hopefully he will be able to get San Diego the next go around.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. <3
