ya...i feel bad for the sailors who have to wait like a month to start school. they are just sitting there...im sure they r just dieing to start
-

He really likes it. Said i would like it too if i lived there, (just not the cold). he's processing right now but starts school on the 15th.
He's just sad that he wont be there for my bday this Sat. but he was in boot on his bday, so i told him we r even, lol..
By the way, no offense to anyone who likes them, I tried White Castle when we went to graduation (they dont have them in Cali) yaaaaaa not as great as everyone made them seem... lil disappointed hahaha. I still think IN-N-OUT burger is better. They only have them in california.. They are amazing!! i had it last night :)
-
-
ya we can...thats basically what we've been doing since sat..
i just want to hear his voice more... i know im being selfish and asking for too much right now.. he said things will be different once he's settled in more
-
-
i hate the time change... me and my sailor live across the country from each other and even though he has his cell phone, the time change ruins it. Also i feel weird talking to him with two of his roommates living 5 feet from him...
Going crazy over here! lol (not literally--maybe idk haha)

jessica it was great to meet you!! the bar turned into a club after u left lol

hello everyone. wasnt graduation great! it was nice to finally meet some of you in person. it was bitter sweet though because it was hard to leave my sailor again, he was a grad and go so not much time. It was so weird seeing him again i told him it feels like i finally met this guy ive been writing love letters to for the past two months and when he leaned down to kissed me for the first time i felt like i was cheating on him or something lol. he said he felt really nervous around me too, but that weird feeling went away for the both of us once we left the base.
i started cracking up when he told me that they put chemicals in the eggs for a reason
is anyone elses sailor in Ct? im hoping to fly over there for spring break and spend easter with him.

Ladies, it was an honor and a pleasure to meet those of you I was fortunate enough to see at the meet and greet on Thursday night. I hope to meet the rest of you some day during our sailor's navy careers. Graduation was so wonderful and exciting.
Jessica - I know just how you feel. Taylor had to be back at RTC for watch at 1930 so I feel like my time with him was way too short. I did go to O'Hare at 0500 the next morning to see him off and bring him his cell phone and i-pod.
Cute story: Several buses from Great Lakes arrived at O'Hare around the same time. At least 60 of those sailors were on United - including my son. The United counter agent opened up a whole area, just for them, to check them in for their flights since there were so many of them. An older gentleman walking by our sailors stopped, turned to all of them and shouted, "Thank you so much for serving our country!!" They all heard him. They looked around at each other grinning with pride. That was probably the first time most of them had heard those words from a total stranger. I hope they hear it a million more times :o).
