My baby boy has left to his new base in Hawaii. Seeing him leave was so hard didn't want to stop hugging him. Couldn't stop crying. His dad and I will feel better once he lands and gives up that call we are waiting for.

Hey Barbara - there is also a WA/Or and Bremerton group. Check out my page and my groups. Our sailor is at Bangor (sub base) just changed to working at Bremerton. You may already know and are part of the groups. Just wanted to invite you in case you didn't know.
They all made it home safe and sound from their visit here.
Things are quiting down here, especially since they left and school started. I'm still reorganizing the house and deep cleaning. Will be glad when I have it the way that I want it.
No job interviews yet - the Union is in Binding Arbritration with the Court. I'm not sure what that all means or will entail - but hopefully full reinstatement or a settlement. Thank you for all of your prayers~s

Our son will soon be on his sub in Hawaii. FOUR more days before he leave us. Excited, happy and looking forward to his new adventure out there. We will miss him but know that soon we will see him again. Can't wait to see the pictures he promise to send us. I'll keep everyone posted. :)

Hi Everyone;
Thank you for your prayers. I have set my retirement date for 7-22-09.The lay off will be effective on the 24th, so I was advised that to be able to keep my medical benefit (75%) of the cost being paid by the court that I needed to retire while still a current paid employee. I was put on 'administrative leave' until the 24th. So, that is why the date - to keep the medical benefit. Otherwise, we would loose that benefit. The 'severance agreement' would have taken away all rights that I had under the MOU, Policies & Procedures of the court. It is worth too much for our future. So, there we are. Thank you for your prayers. I'll be helping with Grandma & Grandpa once things get settled. Next week will be going to CalPers to get all the paperwork taken care of. Worse case I loose a couple of days pay - best case I have the medical benefit in tact.
Shirley (sailor's mother in-law) is home on mophine and as comfortable as she can be at this time. The hospital was able to rehydrate her. We understand that they will be able to visit sometime in the next couple of weeks. A lot depends on her health. He may be able to bring out littlest angel up to give his wife a break.
We all appreciate your prayers. It has been a challenge to figure this out. Your prayers have helped. My angel blessings and Navy Mom hugs to all, Susan
Our sailor is off of the Penn (sub) and switching to shore duty at Bremerton. Still a NUKE - always will be. We will see how the work changes for him - don't think I can understand any of it - but at least he will be above water for his girls~s
I am definately up for a September visit here - unless you would rather be at a restaurant. Please let me know~s
