Disy if she was at thenUSO that was not the I am here call, that one sounds rehearsed you will know when it comes.
Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 1, 2013 at 12:24am
Disy you will get one more after she has arrived and been processed at RTC to say in 5 seconds, I am here I am OK love you goodbye. May come pretty late.

I can already tell that I'm going to have to leave the photo taking to the hubby because I just KNOW I'm going to be balling my eyes out at PIR and won't be able to see all the photo ops I won't want to miss.  LOL

Disy...cool that your daughter landed safely!  Pin and needles...pins and needles!  I'm glad I'm not the only one who loses it when I hear those songs.  

CO-twin...awesome idea for preparing a cheat sheet.  That would be cool if we could add it as a "page" on the side bar.  I'm hoping all the Moms in the group pipe up and tell us about their twins or multiples.  I know sometimes people join a group just to lurk and that is fine too.  It is exciting to have our little group grow too!

I got calls both 12:00 and 1:30am.
Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 31, 2013 at 11:27pm
Dish for a minute I thought you were deaf and wondering why that would make a difference here where everyone types? LOL
Sierra you will be crying at PIR they play all that. Then there is the moment your sailors division marches in and when they pass the stand with all the officers all heads snap to the right then back forward. Awesome sight.
Started my cheat sheet, don't feel hurt if I get something wrong but tomorrow I will ask what I am missing and we can all have it down right.
We have a couple of newbies that have not checked in yet and introduced their families.

I got to watch your video CO-twin.  Very cool!  I even got goosebumps.  I always get choked up when the National Anthem is played or other patriotic songs and now when I hear Anchors Aweigh I get choked up too.  LOL  I think all the military branch songs hit a chord for me.  On the 4th of July, our community band played all the songs from the military branches and it was so cool! Thanks so much for sharing :)

Yeah Bryce's flight left at 3:30 but it was only a 40 minute flight. I didn't think about them waiting for everyone, was thinking I would get a early call, guess I might be waiting for a while!! yes, I for sure need a cheat sheet.

*definitely

That was a weird auto correct!!!
Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on July 31, 2013 at 8:38pm
Doubletrouble - so glad on the weight! Yes Kelly went day before too and stayed in hotel last night! She also has not had her hair cut - decided to leave it to them!
Co-Twin - sorry you had to break out the Kleenex ;0(
Sierrascrapper it is definitely the unknown that scares us more I think - very worrying! My hubby and I both said today that we felt relief today - we can't feel sad when she is in BC cos she chose this - we miss her but are pleased with her and happy that she is flying off to new adventures! I know I am gonna miss chatting and the OH MOTHER! Can't wait for my first letter!
Cathy - her flight only left at 3 pm - so your son is waiting for her!! I heard they wait until everyone is in! Don't know for sure! Glad he is relaxed and already mingling with the females!
Hope I didn't miss anyone out - love reading all the posts!! We deaf rely need cheat sheets on everyone!
