Our sailor has been on hold for C school orders for 2 months, but doesn't seem to mind. It's nice to have a little break from school, and he's home now for 16 days, which is great. Next year this time he could be on a ship, so we're enjoying any time we get. Hoping for Virginia C school for FC, but whatever it is he's pretty chill. Unlike his mom, but I'm learning. =)

Kathf- The fact that the Lincoln is moving to VA is going to be a big transition for the sailors living in Everett. And for the sailors moving to Everett on the Nimitz, as well. I'm very excited about it because my daughter will be a lot closer to us. We live in Ohio and WA is way to far to visit but VA is relatively close. So we have a vacation planned for this summer to go to Virginia Beach.

Kathyf- I bet your son is enjoying San Diego. The couple of times the Lincoln traveled down to San Diego, my daughter said the weather was perfect, better than the weather in Everett WA. The sailors stationed in WA say they wear their winter clothes all year long. lol

Happy One Year to all of you Mom's from PIR 2/18/11 and to your sailors too!!! Man this has been a year of many, many, many tears of sadness, lonliness and happiness as well. Unspeakable Joy and pride that I have never felt before in my life. The LOOOONNNNNGGGG wait for the infamous "KID IN A BOX", the even LONGER wait for the first phone call. The run to the mailbox EVERY Thursday for a letter, the don't bother me looks b/c I can't talk right now my son is gone to bootcamp...(haha), the always looking to make sure you have a signal and you haven't missed a precious call. And the final countdown to PIR 2-18-11, Oh, THAT WONDERFUL DAY!!! It has been quite a journey for us all but we have made it!!!!! Thanks ladies for always being there for me through my joy and tears and supporting me and listening to me when everyone else in the world thought I was crazy....lol Good luck to you and your sailors and give them all hugs for me...another Navy mom!!!

I thought about it all day too, remember what it was like a year ago when my daughter left for boot camp. Today she is aboard the Abraham Lincoln just starting out on a 6 month deployment. We can keep in touch my email, but I will miss the daily texts and calls every couple of days.

Well, it's December 14, the one year anniversary of my son joining the Navy. It some ways, it seems like yesterday. Yet in other ways, it feels like the longest year of my life. Dec. 14, 2010 started me on a two month cycle of anxiety, emptiness, joy, pride....hmmm, downright insanity. Leaving my job at lunchtime every Thursday to run home and get the mail, only to spend the rest of the day crying over his letters. Never wanting to be anywhere I couldn't get service just in case he would get to call. So many tears and prayers. Then the phone call came and he said, "Mom, I'm a sailor!" I thought my heart would burst right out of my chest! Remember those feelings ladies? But through it all, we had each other. I just wanted to say thanks to all you wonderful Navy Moms of PIR 2/18 and I miss our daily conversations so much! Love you all!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, what MountainMama says is so true. My sailor seems a million miles away today. Her ship is getting ready to deploy next month for about 8 months. I really miss her.
