I am hoping my sailor got his mail then too. So in other words we all will need to send Christmas presents very soon to make sure they get them on time. I don't like this at all.
Yes, Mary, we do miss them even more over the holidays. This is my first Christmas without mine. I have been very lucky to have him home since he graduated from bootcamp.
I keep trying to send an email to my sailor but it wont' go thru. Is anyone else having troubles.
Mary yes I know I miss mine too more than others too. We are here for you though.
Went to see Dolphin Tale yesterday. Oh my goodness, it was really good movie. I teared up a little at times too. I guess you can go onto seewinter.com and watch the dolphin on there too. I am going to do that with my daughter.
I hope you all are having a good weekend, despite the snow. It is still on the ground here. Wasn't ready for it but hey it is going to be here more soon anyways. I told my hubby, it feels like Christmas. It put me in the mood to shop. I didn't but I could have.
Marcy---not reall sure what our sailor is doing. He has qualified for fireman on the ship and has preliminary qualified for VBSS. But his entry was basic seaman.
Really missing him sometimes are worse than others;-(((((
Got a msg from FB asking who our sailor is. we replied so hope to hear soon that we are accepted.
Are you talking about the FB Obudsmen? If so it took them a long time to accept me too. Don't know if it has anything to do with if you have someone on the ship or not but it did take them a while to accept me too. So be patient and don't worry they will.
thanks everyone. It does get frustrating when I knew what I did was right. He is usually good at giving you the points you deserve though.
