Hey everyone there will be a pillowcase sewing party in Silsbee on Feb. 19. If anyone is close enough and wants to join me and Brenda Sue let us know and we will give you directions to where we are going to be sewing.
Hope everything went well at the wedding Brenda. The post office called me at 7:30 this morning about coming in with the boxes so I was able to let them know early we wouldn't be there today.
Eagle mom, you ALWAYS have something to add - even if it is just "Blessings to everyone"!!! I LOVE how everyone jumped in and encouraged bn4givn. This place is GREAT!
Did you know that you can go to MEPS with him and watch his swearing in? Hard - but might make him feel better to know his family supports him.
That girl that ran off? The assign someone at MEPS to be in charge of the group. That person probably got in trouble because she ran off. That is not nice to do to someone else! Please know before you go! After you swear in at MEPS the second time, your body is the US Navy's property.
I know we have more in store for next week, they say it's supposed to be worse, I don't want worse =(.
The sun has been out today, which is good, but I have a stupid migraine =(.
The military is a GIANT step into Adulthood, really. It may not have anything to do with his decision, it could be something as simple as he will miss everyone. Or that he might feel like people will forget him once he is gone. Or he wants to rest up before he goes?
