Hi, Susan.  I heard from Aaron a couple of days ago.  He said it looks like he'll be able to make it home for Jessica's birthday and graduation!  Her birthday is June 2.  It will be great to have him home, even if it is for a few days.

Hi Everyone, I hope all of you are doing well. I should say we all had quite an eventful weekend last week. We started out watching a "Fairy Tale Wedding" on Friday,to Sunday, ending with watching and listening to our President announce the news as one of our Greatest Brave Military Mission took place. My husband,his brother, and 2 of his friends were @ the Phillies Game when the news broke. The whole stadium chanted "USA", about 20 minutes later. Having to sons in the military, my husband said it was very overwhelming. We have heard from Christopher a lot this past week. He sounds great & is in good spirits. He is eager to get back as I am sure the rest of the crew is too. He has thoroughly enjoyed this last Port. My parents move to my sisters house is only 8 days away. We are all worried about that actual day and are praying for everything to go smooth. Please keep us all in your prayers.Love To All of You  :)

I know I shouldn't worry.  Praying for him helps.

Colleen, Everytime I worry about Christopher, he always reassure's me "It is, what it is". He tells me not worry, that he can handle anything that comes his way. I just have to have the Trust & Faith to believe him. Guess what..... Christopher never went to the movies that night. He fell asleep when he went back to the hotel, and never woke up until the next morning. He said it was the "most" sleep he has had in a long time. Even though he missed out on hanging out with some of the crew, he finally got the sleep that he needed. Everyone has had some good down time there. It is what they all have needed in long time. Please don't worry, they will all be back to their surroundings soon!! Keep the Faith and Trust!!

Jessica graduates in early June.  We were going to wait anyway to have her party.  We probably will just go out to dinner once he is here.  I wonder what Aaron is doing for fun.  He doesn't usually say.  Maybe he's going to the movies, too.  I'm worried about him.

Hey Brandi, Great to hear from you again!! Congratulations to Zachary for working hard to get his Dolphins!!! I know how much time and hard work that is!!! So you moved? I know how much work that is. We are getting ready to move my parents into my sister's house in 2 weeks, then My husband took a job in Atlanta,GA. He's been going back & forth. We will be moving probably sometime in August. Just thinking about a big move makes me cry with laughter!!  Our kids can't believe that we are "actually" leaving the house they grew up in. But we have to what is best for us now. I hope everyone is in good health. We heard from Chris, he had a nice day off today, he went golfing with some of his buddies and then they are going see a movie just opening up tonight. He sounds awesome & great with some valuable time off!! Love To Everyone.

Hi Deborah, I'm not to sure what you mean by that? Is he upset with us, or that everything has changed b/c of the delay?  :)

My son is angry with our line of conversation :(
Comment by JerseySusan on April 27, 2011 at 8:17am
Gee Colleen, I feel so terrible for Aaron and your family that he won't be there. When is Jessica's graduation? If you were thinking of having a little graduation party for her, just wait until Aaron comes home. We always had our graduation parties a couple of weeks later after the actual graduation day. I'm not sure when Chris is coming home now. He was coming here for a couple of days, then flying down to Charleston to pick his GF up and going back to San Diego with her.( We'll talk about that  at a later date.)  Michael just made arrangements to stay out in San Diego for a couple of more days to be there for the homecoming. He has to be out their on a business trip the week before and he extended his stay 4 more days, but I guess he'll just come home now. He was pretty excited about the seeing the whole event. Well, the Navy makes "All" the calls that we have to adjust to. It's definetly not easy on the the families and our hearts.  I guess the only way we can look at it sometimes, is to think about all the "Freedom" our country has because it. Love To You All

Hey, everyone.  I got a call from Aaron at 12:30 this morning.  He said they will be delayed coming home, so he won't be able to attend Jessica's graduation.  He is very down about it.
