Congratulations Goofyand glad!!
Cheryl: How did your Thanksgiving visit go??
My son got his orders and will be stationed in San Diego! He is thrilled! He has one more week in San Antonio after Christmas, then off to Mississippi for four weeks of additional training then off to San Diego! I have a cousin who lives in San Diego and has been bugging me to come and visit ..... Now I have even more incentive to do so. :)
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

PMSing - you are so kind and loving - it's great that you can share that, especially when it must hurt you to even reflect on it , but you can only move forward and try to build bridges back to the family you miss. Good advice to give other young couples! Family is so importatnt. I think my sailor/son has really had that brought home to him, through his whole bootcamp/A school experience! Blessings to you! Happy THanksgiving to all!
