Got to see my sailor a whole 2-1/2 days when he came home to move DIL from my house. God, he looks so good! I came unglued when I saw him, good thing I was accepting his furniture delivery so no makeup to ruin those dress whites. Fun times, listening to his bootcamp stories. Now they are in Goose Creek.
