Teacher Mom...... I added a picture of of the shirts and silly mustache's the guy were sporting for you on my page. I sounds like they are enjoying each other and I'm sure facebook will be a great way to stay in touch for those boys. Thanks my daughter was very happy about the job even if it is just summer school we hope it's a foot in the door. Student loans need to be paid. And yes I want to visit and will be looking into that for sure. I love exploring new places especially tropical. When you know you are coming to the great Pacific North West maybe we can hook up. Enjoy your time off it always goes by fast!

Mvpmom....I am also sorry about not meeting your family. I have no idea about the "club" ...what is it? I do not go back to school until the 19th of August. We are planning to visit our son after he gets to Washington but before we get back to school. I am glad to hear your daughter got a teaching job...they are hard to get in the state of Illinois. Funding issues. I know my son will miss your son after graduating.....guess they will have to keep in touch through the internet via facebook. Will you be able to visit your son after moving into the fleet in Guam?

Thank You Teacher Mom the evening is good. We fly in Wed but we are three or more hours away. There are four of us coming and it was not easy to get there but we are taking our Sailor home for a short time then he heads to Guam. He said your son will be about an hour from our home. I'm sorry I won't get to meet you but if you need a place to stay on a visit let me know. What did you think of the "respect the stash club"? Are you out of school for summer? My daughter is teaching summer school for her first" real "work as a teacher so she is coming to Texas with us. The day we get back is her first day of school. She won't get to visit her brother at his next destination.
