Welcome to NavyforMoms (wives too!).  I live in Oakland, CA.  My son's graduation from bootcamp is 1/21/2011.  It seems overwhelming at first but this too will pass.  Obviously we all miss them.  Tell it to us and not to him.  He is very busy right now.  I will be going to the 1/9/2011 meet and greet Valentine signing and pizza in Petaluma.  If you are interested we could go together.  Yes, Livermore is quite a ways from Petaluma but know you are so very welcome to come be with us signing Valentines that will be sent to sailors.

I'm keeping as busy as I can too. I am so excited for Charleston.  I'm excited for the warm weather and just excited to be living down there with my husband. Knowing I'll be living there is going to get me through the next few weeks. Are you excited for SC?

Christmas will be semi-hard but we already celebrated it together and I'm going to Christmas with my family and siblings so that will be fun.  I keep thinking that one positive about having him gone for Christmas is that I don't have to split Christmas between my family and his--I get my family all weekend ;)

I hate getting sick. Ugh. Yuk. Since we had our flu shots, at least we won't get that. BTW, has you mother in law joined the SF group yet? Or maybe she would rather just get the info from you.

My younger son attended the United States Military Academy, West Point (next to Highland Falls, NY) for two years but he is totally incompatible with the military. He is studying what he wants now and
would like to make tons on of money in the future. He like intelligent
women who look like Jessica Alba or Reese Witherspoon or the girl in
Smallville (what an idiot! but he is young). He plays the guitar and
sax. A wonderful golfer. Excellent chess player. He has even learned to
cook a few dishes (really into eating healthy and running). Unlike his
mother, he eats and stays skinny - just under 5'11" and 150 lbs (but has
to keep his calorie intact up to stay at that). Tell your friend to
never mind him because the marriage arrangement comes with a great MIL
who will treat her like a princess :)  Going back to bed. Night night.

Happy Holidays to you, too!! Hope those kids are keeping you busy. :)

I know my niece and nephew are keeping me up and running. 

My niece has claimed Aaron as her boyfriend. Anytime he walks in the door she yells, "My boyfriends here! My boyfriends here!" Awesome. I have major competition with a two year old! 

Wow it's crazy that you're originally from NYS! I'm originally from Geneseo, so we're both from SUNY towns which is cool. 

Sorry I have been so bad about responding to your wall posts. I log into this site tons but I can't remember to check my wall for some reason.

I'm going to send you a message so I can talk more detailed without worrying about all of my info being on the internet ok?
