Yes...our boys are together. Andrew said he talked with your son. I am glad there is a few of them together. When Andrew was going through BUDS us Moms had a fantastic support system. I have so missed having that...when Drew dropped it was like I was loosing my best friends. Some I've kept in contact with and keep tabs on their sons that are still in BUDS. If you have an address for the ship I would love to have. Definitely, lets keep in touch. I heard from Andrew early this morning on Facebook...we said they were in Portugal. He said he would let me know when they get to Italy but I haven't heard anything. I will let you know if I do!

I heard from my son today around 10:30 eastern standard time. He left me a message on facebook and then we actually got to chat. He said they had landed. It was a LONG flight. It looks like they are about 12 hours ahead of us. He doesn't know when they will go to the ship. Just thought you might like to know!

I know about staying busy. My husband was on travel last week in the middle east while Andrew was also traveling. I told my boys...they owe me! I had to drive down to VA Beach last Tuesday to pick Andrew's truck up and bring it home while he is gone! Crazy! I am never settled until I know they are safe! I have heard from Drew several times since he landed and went to the ship. We Skype when we can. I am sure they will be busy. I am waiting to hear what division he is in....so I can mail his package. I guess they won't be in port much longer. If I hear anything I will let you know! Have a good rest of the week!
