I wasn't expecting to hear anything yet.
Yes, I was hoping to hear from my sailor too Dorie.
Hi Ladies, it's Dorie. I thought I would have contact today with me Sailor, but I guess not. Waiting patiently to hear from her. I hope everyone is doing well.
@ jbird... Hello to you too :)
I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do. I haven't been too active here. A bit too much going on at home. Still thinking of my babies every day <3
The mermaids are so cute! Sounds like you had a great visit too, B'sNukeMom! You were there a bit ahead of me and had a longer visit too. Mine was short & sweet - 5 days total but 2 were all day drives!
I hope they see the solar eclipse! It was fabulous!!!
Hi all - Happy Monday!
Redsmom - we were in VA from 8/2-8/12. Had a blast visiting with B and his GF also visited us for part of the time. If any of you have time when you are there you need to stop by the Mermaid Factory. We took a girls trip there and had a blast. You paint your own mermaid (or dolphin). It's so much fun. Mine is the red, white & blue one (of course lol!). You can't really tell unless you zoom in but mine is covered in glitter. I love it :)
Well I did the road trip to see my sailor! Had him all to myself for 2 days then his gf joined us for a day. Took him to VA Beach so he felt like he actually had a vacation. Had awesome seafood while there! Best short vacation I've had in years!
Trip was actually double duty as I brought all his stuff that won't fit in his space on the ship!
Bernapet, I hear you! It is rough, but da mamas are tough! Ha!
I don't know how I got through 8 months...these little cruises are really getting to me! :-(
I'm glad you have that visit with your sailor to look forward to, that's exciting!
Hope everyone is doing well
hope everyone is doing well.
Congrats all on pending nuptials, new jobs, babies, and school graduations! Sounds like everyone is well and doing fine! Very good to hear!
Sounds like the Truman is starting to hum along! I'm hoping to see my sailor soon. He is still working out how he is going to use his leave, but the plan is to see family, even if it winds up being only for a few days.
Hope everyone has a good week!
