Jessica has had some struggles.  She is on a medical break now and will go back after Thanksgiving, armed with a plan to succeed.  I think it is good for her to take a break and regroup.

Hi Colleen, We will always work on plans to meet up one of these days!! My whole family is still in the Northeast. My oldest brother in Blackstone Mass. & my youngest brother in Conn. I am so happy that Aaron will receive all the benefits he deserves!! It was a very "rough" deployment for our sailors. Christopher has 2 1/2 years left. He has always wanted to stay in 25 years, but I don't know now what he will do when he has the choice of staying in or leaving when his time is up.  Thank-You so much Aaron for serving our Country!!!!! How is Jessica doing at her college? Love To You All.  (((((((( : ))))))))

Happy Anniversary, Susan.  I don't know anyone in the area, it would just be nice to meet you face to face!  Everyone, Aaron will be discharged for medical reasons from the Navy officially in January.  The discharge is honorable and he will get all the benefits of a veteran, thank God.  I want to keep this group together so everyone and others whose sons join later, will have somewhere to go.  I don't want to lose touch with you all.  Love.

Well, today is Our Wedding Anniversary, 10/18/80, "31" years!!!!!! We just took a short drive ( 5 1/2 hour), over the weekend to visit Jonathan,our youngest, @ Eglin AFB, Fla. We stayed at my M-in-L's in Destin, which is only 20 miles away. We had a great time visiting both of them. He is constantly training in different states every month. We just pray & keep our fingers crossed he won't get deployed. He tells us not to worry, that his training is intense & he will be ready. But of course, we are his parents, & just want him to stay on here. Hi Colleen, Sugar Hill is just 20 miles north of N. Atlanta. Do you know anyone that lives down here? My husband's office is in Atlanta. Christopher is working hard, a lot of hours, but sounds good when we talk to him. He & his GF are trying to make plans to come east in Dec. but my husband & I will be in NJ both Thanksgiving & Christmas with our grandchildren, so I don't know how it will all work out for them, with her parents in Charleston SC. I hope something can be worked out b/c we miss him very much. I hope everyone is Healthy & doing well. Let me know how you & your families are doing. Love To All of You.

Sugar Hill?  How far is that from Atlanta?
Comment by JerseySusan on October 8, 2011 at 1:59pm
Hi To All My Special Mom's..... Well, My husband & I made the "BIG" move to Sugar Hill GA.  It's a little bitter sweet. Bitter, b/c we miss our daughter,grandkids,family, friends & neighbors from NJ.  It sure is very "quiet"!!!!! Definitely not use to being "empty nesters", not to sure how to handle it yet. We have always had a house full!!!  Sweet b/c we love our new house (1 story, No stairs anymore), & the weather down here has been absolutley "Perrrrrrrfect"!!!!!!!!!!!! Still un-packing, I hope be done by the end of next week, before all the relatives start to visit!!!! I hope to hear from all of you soon. You are all in my prayers. Love Susan   <3    :)

Thanks, Susan.  I could use the hugs today and Aaron can always use prayers.  My work week is ahead, so I'm getting ready to hit the bed.  Goodnight and love to everyone!
Comment by JerseySusan on September 24, 2011 at 10:22pm

Yes Colleen, we are very excited about the move, but at the same time, a little nervous. Leaving "Good Ole NJ" without my daughter & 2 grandsons, my parents & sisters will be sad.  :(  But like I said, we will be back up here a lot. Thanks for all your prayers, my Mom did really well with her hip surgery, & should be coming home tomorrow. I talked to Christopher last night. They have had a rough 2 weeks on the sub. Hopefully all will get taken care of. I hope any Parents who's sailors son's are having difficulty, know my prayers are with all of you & your families. My Big Hugs To You All. (((((( : )))))))

Comment by Coke51 on September 22, 2011 at 5:15pm

Wow, Susan, you must be excited.  Sounds like you'll be able to see your family often.  How is the weather down there?

 

Comment by JerseySusan on September 21, 2011 at 12:03am
I hope everyone is doing well. Oh Boy, next week my husband & I will be packing up for Atlanta. Really going to miss our daughter & our 2 little grandchildren, but we will be back a lot to see & be with them, & they are coming the second week of Nov, when my grandson has off that week for a teachers convention. Jonathan will only be a 5 hour drive away, so he is planning on a long weekend in Oct to be with us.  Please say a prayer for my Mom, she is finally getting her hip surgery this Thursday, 2 more days.
