Paula congrats on the new baby thats coming!!! :) I am jealous that I can't go too!!! It seems like everyone will be there this time....Mary your going to have a green beer for me, right??? Someone take notes for me....Michelle your good at that.lol Have fun everyone!!!
Thanks Paula for doing all of that work. It should be fun. We will say nice things about the people who cannot make it. Where has Diana and Laura been?
LOL Annie, wow we are really something!!! Like always had a great time. Pat it was very nice to meet you, it is nice to put a face with a picture. Annie and I were talking about going to Chucks in Burbank next month, so we will have to work on a date. Becky it was nice talking to you, sorry it was kind of hard to hear you but we will catch up next time. Coco how is the new job going? Cannot wait to catch up. Have a great Sunday!
Barb if you have any questions about Italy just ask. Two bases your son will probably be bases on if Capo that is where Stephen is, that is the base for single sailors and Support Side is for married couples and corpsmen (sp).
OMG what a beautiful baby. Thanks for posting the picture. Keep them coming.
Diana, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I thought that your out ranked that other sailor in your house, I know you will do a better job next time. I was so glad to hear from Stephen too, would love to know where he was one day.
pat what a beautiful baby!!! welcome back Mary, hope you had a good time. I hope you guys don't decide to do it on the 9th I can't make it...I dont want to miss another one!!! :( where is the next place at?? Michelle are you on vacation??
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Julie that is so wonderful, it is a brand new start for you. BUT we will miss you for sure. When do you have to leave???? Glad to hear about the Bonus that will help a lot.
Julie, YIPPEEEEE!! Now don't get me wrong, I am NOT happy about you leaving!! But it will be a good thing to leave some problems in the rear-view mirror (if you get my drift?! heehee) Let's be sure to get together before you leave!!! Congratulations, sister!!
Just in case anyone is up for a road trip--Armed Forces Day will be observed Sunday, May 22, on Arsenal Island between Rock Island and Davenport. There's lots to see and do for the entire family.
I'm back from Texas--wish I had brought back the warmer weather though 90 wasn't wonderful either! Busy here as usual--we get our granddaughters tonight for the weekend. Haven't seen them since January. Our son is reenlisting before the PIR on May 20, so we're planning on attending. Sort of cool, we think.
That is very cool, so nice you get the grand kids, you will have a lot of fun and be tired after they leave. They never stop! LOL The weather here in Chicago is terrible, I am so tired of it, but it will get better, I hope!
I just saw Paula's post about the White Sox on Facebook and I had an idea.I have not seen you all in a while because of my fricken neck pain BUT I should be better by early July. (1 more surgery at North Western)
So how about we plan a Sox game with all of us Moms? I have never been to a Sox game and I think it would be fun!
This morning I sat down with a cup of coffee and read through the 15 PAGES of posts I have missed since I have been offiline for awhile
Congrats Paula! Congrats Annie and congrats Pat! Pat he looks so adorable in that picture...almost makes me want to be a grandma...almost.
Paula #2 - if you are up for we would come and visit and if you want some Navy mom love before July
They moved my Navy son to nights so he is adjusting to the schedule but likes it cause he has more responsibility. My other two kiddos are slowly moving forward...June 11 Jas graduates from the University of Chicago so only a little longer of her insane study schedule and watching her try to do both undergrad and grad school at the same time. I think once that stress is gone the PTS will lessen.
I am definitely up for a get together next month! Either of those dates work for me!
I joined the PIR group for May 20 since we'll be attending for our son's reenlistment. we've been invited to the meet n greet at the Waukegan Ramada. Do you think there's room to have Chicago moms too?

A little something we all need to remember to say, Thank You!
Have you ever seen one of our military walking past you and wanted to convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or it felt awkward?
