I look exactly like my picture! Study it, remember it, got it? Now you will know me! LOL and if you heard a very loud laugh that would be me!! Love to laugh!
Well I might have my ugly but happy cry on that day too.
I have my plane tickets, rented the car and ready to mail back the duplex contract. If any injury happens....I am still going on vacation!!
Ken I can't wait to meet you and all the ladies here! I am terrible with names so I might only remember yours Ken!
We have booked the hotel, and making flight plans this weekend, all refundable... Talked to our son a lot (a lot meaning, more than usual) this weekend. He sounded very tired. He is loving what they are doing, just ready to get "home" and relax a little. He did send a great picture of himself via text and how that made my day! I have it as a screensaver on everything so he is constantly smiling at me! I keep trying to pin him down on who he wants at graduation, everyone wants to come but I know we need to keep the numbers down. Having a large close family is such a blessing and all the cousins are great friends however 10 first cousins, 6 aunt and uncles and the girlfriend make for a very large group. Think we may draw straws! Haha What a message of love it sends when they all want to fly across country for this wonderful graduation! I still hate to type the word graduation because I know there are still two more months ahead of us and "anything" can happen! I am in need of some humor, encouragement, and daily support for the next two months so everyone wake up and chat some more!
Hi Opheila. How is your husband? I asked D how your son was doing and he said Great!!
I know things could still happen but I am going no matter what. Sending the contract for the duplex with the monies today!! I am so excited.
Wow I hadn't thought about what the hubby should wear. Please let me know what you all think about suit or sports coat. We have 5 going to Grad. I believe. How many can they have?
FYI: Just reading through Class 282 and their graduation discussions. Apparently, their guys have been told that there is a 9 person cap on the number of family members attending. I believe,through other class chats, that it used to be 5 invitations with many names listed on the invitations so you could include as many as you wanted. I have just called my family members and told them to hold off on plane tickets as things may have changed. If anyone finds out differently, please please post....
Good morning. KT I used VRBO.com and have in the past as well. We have decided to stay in Mission Beach so we don't have to drive so far to some of the attractions. We found a nice duplex right on the beach and they gave us a sm discount when we asked for it. I know not all owners will do that....we were lucky. Good luck.
my3sons....just about all they do terrifies me!!! LOL When D gets excited about this stuff I tell him he's just not right....well you all aren't right!!! hahahahahaha Thank God for these brave men that enjoy doing this!!!
I have this need today to be connected to other Moms.... My son called twice last night. My husband said a few nerves are good because if you are too confident you don't focus enough....
Our tough guy's younger brother is gloating how he already has his Airborne wings before his big, bad S**L wannabe bro....so it helps us keep these things in perspective! After all these guys have been through, this is the *fun* part for them! (I'm with you on the praying end of things though...lol)
Each block is filled with so much worry for parents and wives. Our guys know what they have to do and will do it!! It's the waiting that makes me crazy! My son just finished SERE. They split the class in half. One half did SERE 1st and the other half did CQD 1st. He was 1 of the lucky ones who was able to do it before CQD and get it over with. I can't believe 3 more weeks!!! Your guys will be there before you know it. Its only 6 weeks away and the time goes quickly. Good luck to all 283. Hooyah!!!!!!
My sons fiance went out there last night so I haven't heard from him. I spent the day shopping to keep my mind off things. He was really looking forward to this so I am just hoping he is having fun!!
Thanks for all the info! Good to know all this ahead of time!
One of the moms in another group is making small red white and blue corsages. I am not that crafty but thought it was a good idea. ....anyone interested in making anything ahead of time and sending it to whoever wants one and we can send you the money? This would be so we can tell who is who from this group.
I did a little browsing and found a site that can make pins. I sent them a ? to see if they can make one and how much....maybe to expensive...I should know in about a day.
I asked for a flag pin with 283 hanging from it. I will get the info and let you all know and we can go from there. Just an idea.
I Don't have a clue what to get him. I really don't have a couple hundred $ to spend with the expense of going out there for a week. I am sure open for ideas.
Opheila....thanks for the email! I do think the hair would set us apart! LOL
I hope to hear from them tomorrow. If not I will see if there is a number to call. I know not all the members of this group are still active members. Anyone have an idea of how many we will need to get?
If it works out that we can get them I will start a discussion up top and everyone can let me know how many they want....I know I am jumping the gun they might not even be able to make them.
I gave my son headphones for Christmas and he LOVES them! He was rather blase (sp?) with them until he used them on a noisy flight and texted me when he landed about how much he appreciated them! A friend's older son who has been in the same profession as our guys for a few years, highly recommended them! They drown out the noisy babies, snorers, and loud military engine noise!
That is the proof of the lapel pin. It is only 1.5 inches. They are 294.00 for 100 of them I can call them and tell them to change it. Please give me your input. Will not hurt my feelings at all if you don't like it.....this is just a thought.
How exciting!! I can't wait till that day!! I can't wait until I get there and get to see him!!! I just hope his GF goes out before us so they won't be all over each other every sec....oh who am I kidding they will be....I remember those days....to be young and in love...oh not GF anymore....Fiance !!!
Thanks everyone I will talk to the company today and find out what is involved in ordering them. This is what I was thinking. I will set up a discussion.......Those that want them can let me know how may.....then you can send me your money and a self addressed stamped envelope and I will mail them back to you.....does that sound ok?
jettaryn I don't know about time off.....I wish I would have asked him last night when I talked to him....said the had a late day couldn't get started till late with the weather conditions. He is LOVING every minute of it!! I asked him when he left for the next place and he said HUH???? They don't.....everything is right there now! Who knew! LOL
Okay Moms! We need to pray for better weather conditions out there! Can't have them getting off schedule too much!!! CherylB love the pins! We have the double pins that are navyflags along side of the American Flag, but I love adding the Class number to it. Is there a minimum order?
Ok I contacted the company and gave them another design. I really like this one a lot...please tell me what you think. I will try to post it bigger if I can.
Well here is my thought....I would like something with his number. For keepsake. I just figured that once we got off base we could take it off if it is not appropriate to wear it in "public" I will ask them to take the # off if you all think it should be done....I will do whatever the majority wants. I thought it would be kinda neat for the guys to have one also....with the number.
It takes them about 10 days to make them. I would like to have time to get the money from you all, order them and get them mailed back to you by the beginning of June. I will also go to the post office and ask them the best way to send them and not have them broken in the process and how much it will cost. I have an idea how I would do it but thought I would get their opinion .....one good thing about living in a sm town ....you can go in and just ask whatever whenever! LOL
I am safe and sound thanks Ophelia.....the last big storm just happen to skirt around us....the airport and other areas north and west of us got hit BAD!!! Shut the airport down!!!
I am sorry you will be spending time at the hospital again...I will be sending you an email or calling you real soon!!! Take care you!!! ((((HUGS))))
C'Smom welcome back! I will call the company and get the total this afternoon....they did not tell me there was a price difference between the 2 pins so I am guessing it is the same price....100 pins for 294.00. I will double check though to make sure.
Illimom so great to see you!!! How have you been??? We still need to get together! You are the busy one so you just have to contact me....we are always game for eating out!! LOL
I really like the pin I think it will be a real nice keepsake.
I will get you all an exact price today....the pins are 2.94 but I want to see what it will take to mail them back to you safely. Such as a bubble envelope. Thanks
I am posting this in bold so it will stand out. I know that not everyone is on every day and don't always have time read back so I am just letting you know that once a day I will post a reminder to order your pins up top under the discussions. Sorry to annoy you but I want to make sure no one gets left out! Thanks!
