Comment by WhiteClay Ship 2 Div 913 on January 18, 2011 at 5:04pm: Hi girls,

I have an idea for our group but don't know if I should share it on this site. How about you email me if you are interested and I'll reply privately. My personal email is CollinsFamily@kennett.net.

Thanks, Laurie

PS Sorry I don't have a photo up yet. Our second son was married Jan 8 and it's been a little hectic!

Comment by Darnell on January 18, 2011 at 2:06pm: Hello girls,

Im so glad to hear our kids are doing good. The days are getting shorter untill we get see them. Cant wait. You know this site is wonderful. I want to talk about Bailey all the time, I want to share how proud I am of her and I think people might get tried of hearing about it . I know you guys understand, feel the same joy, and the same saddness that they are gone. Thank you so much for being here.

Have a great day, Darnell

Comment by MariaM on January 17, 2011 at 9:54am: Blessedw2, yes we are happy and Jonathan is happy as well. Im writing him today and see if the kids had met yet. But I will tell him what your son does. No counting today we have 31 days to hug them and see them.........I dont remember what he is doing in PIR...so that will be in my next call or letter.

Yes, thank you for this amazing group of Moms!!!!

Comment by Sailormom21811 on January 16, 2011 at 2:55pm: Oh, MariaM that is such great news!!! Glad you heard from him and sorry about his molars. But, Ceremonial Guard, it looks like his future has just come together in a BIG way! I am so happy for all of you, and him. I sent mine a letter asking about your son. Mine sent me a list of new friends but only their last names... Mine will be playing the bass drum at PIR. What will yours be doing? So exciting about Darnells daughter carrying Hawaii flag. I can't wait to see all of our Sailors at PIR! I can't express enough how much of a blessing this "913" group of moms has been to me. Sharing with the three of you has helped in so many ways...Thank you mom's!

Comment by MariaM on January 16, 2011 at 9:31am: JessicaB thats exactly where he is going...I couldnt think of the name...and tears and time let my brain forget important thigs!

I was so happy for me, because he was in seven heaven........he said I found my path , im finishing school, become an officer and opportunities and endless.

JessicaB, thank you for saying this. I have to find this new group and learn.

Fist asked him about all those 6 molars...and he was doing ok...im glad, he talk about the food, its very fat-free, so he is happy...he is alwasy working out. His job is based in his previous experiences, he is coordinating medical appts for all this big group...so he is in his element.

He said, Mom more good news, im going to be stationed in Washington Dc.....in some Performance Division ...I wanted to ask him so many questions, but with the emtions and tears....I forgot a lot.

Darnell, he met Bailey, they laugh of us...because we are amazing.,,it took him a little be to find out who she was because they go by last name...but they met...WoooHooo!!!!!!!

He talked about two more friends but im not remembering their names...I will ask him in my letter today.

He is very excited about PIR, we get to have them all day after they eat breakfast on th 19th, and the 18th after Graduation is over. They have to be back to the ship around 8 pm or 9pm...he wasnt sure..

they have lots of snow but he says its beautiful. So he sound really happy !!!!!! I was too.

Next call for me , probably in about 2 more weeks........but let the mail comming he said!!!

Girls this is the Best Side ever....dont know how others Moms can funtion without it!!!

Hope we all can get together on the 17th, I know we will be in the same area at PIR.

Lots of Hugs,

Maria

Comment by Darnell on January 14, 2011 at 1:05am: Oh Maria, thats tough thinking of getting all those teeth pulled. Your right he probable cant talk. Give him a day or so. : (

Talking about pics I love your new one.

Not to brag to much but yes I think Bailey is beautiful too, but she also has a wonderful spirt, caring, loving, smart all those things which make her beautiful inside and out.

Hang in there ladys. Have a good night.

Comment by MariaM on January 13, 2011 at 11:17pm: Girls, I have a letter today!!!! Jonathan, was having 6 molars pull out today (4 wisdom + 2 more) I get the wisdom but the other two,,,no idea!!!!...he was going to be put to sleep because of the process...Just thinking when he wakes up he will be not a very happy camper.... wish I can be there with him....

He loves it!!! He is thanking me and his Dad for always pushing him to do his best and all he want for graduation is time with us!!!! ...and a good meal with family!!! so that will happen...!..he wrote...Mom, my life has changed 350 degrees for the good...I was already proud of him but now,,,,he just "did it"".. I remember him playing basketball in the high school team...and made lots of points for the team...now I just want to see him achieve his Best .....Miss him!!!

Darnell, he said he had to find out who your daughter was since they go but last name...so when he wrote ...they didnt met yet!!!!.....

Now, I feel better..I wish I could be a flight on the wall...just to see their reactions....she is a beautiful girl!!!! Oh!!! Love your pictures!!!!!.
