Good morning everyone. I finally managed about 2 hours sleep. I surprised myself. I think my body just crashed - 'cause my mind was still going and only on our men/women still in BS for the next 2 hours or so. I was even DREAMING about them! Didn't want to wake up 'cause I was FINALLY SEEING BRIAN! (sigh). Wow. What an emotional roller coaster ride. Imagine how THEY must be feeling!! OK I have to start getting ready for work (I don't know WHY...it's not like I'll mentally BE there today). I'll check the site once more b4 I leave at 7:20ish (can't access it at work - damn!) and I'll be racing home at 3:15 to be home by 4:00 (hopefully I don't get a speeding ticket lol) and hopefully don't miss the call!!! My thoughts and prayers will be with ALL of you/us and our children/spouses/etc. ALL DAY and praying THEY ALL make it through BS with flying colors! GO 167/168!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and thanks to all from the other divisions for sticking this out with us and seeing us through this - we couldn't do it without all of YOUR support too! Hopefully next time I'm posting a comment will be to say "He's a SAILOR"!!! Damn. Now I'm crying again hehe. Love and best wishes to all. TTYL

Hey Janiece,
hehe...guess I'm not the only one still up huh? Can't sleep either. Should be packing but don't want to :P Not yet. I'm re-checking my lists and making new ones because the old ones are illegible with all the scratch-offs and writing on them. Thanks for your help with the answers to all of my questions. I'm kinda bummed because it's supposed to rain all 3 days and Brian wanted to go to Great Adventure so bad. He's been looking forward to it for WEEKS! That plus, we have to leave by checkout time which is noon on Sunday. 15 hrs in the car and we have to leave an extra hour for the time diff. I have to be back at work by Monday morning so that would get me home by 4am and I usually get up about 5:45. So that leaves 1 hr & 45 min's to unpack the van and take a shower (and probably cry again from joy, relief, and sadness for leaving again) I feel so bad that I'm leaving him early and can't stay longer. Just found out from his girlfriend that he wrote her yesterday and said he'll be at GL till May 3rd or so b4 he ships out to Grotin (sp?) CT for either sub training or A school. Nice of him to tell ME that huh? Leave ME hanging. the brat. hahaha just kidding. my emotions are in overdrive. I'm soooooo excited though! Can't wait to get on the road tomorrow night, see my boy again eh-hem...sorry....MAN (NO!....SAILOR!) and hug him so hard. I'm crying right now just thinking about it. Jeez didn't think I would. I was being so good too. Oh well. A good cry never hurt anyone. I hear it's good for your complexion. Hope they're right. OK I've been rambling incoherently now. PROZAC.....!!!! lmao
