Ashton's Mom, Tx

Hi Judy, glad Ashton is doing well. Spoke with Nick on Sundays, our tradition now.  Too crazy and lack of time during the week.  He still says he really likes it, seems happy and upbeat!  He says he has been studying a lot.  Wonder how they did on their test today?  He got a 92 on CPR and a 78 on last week's test.  Least he passed.  I suggested the study groups - he was going to see how he did today and if not satisfied, he'll go to them and change his study habits.  I am really happy with a 78 on his first major Navy test, since he has not done any academics in over a year and hasn't always had the best study habits. Like you said, smart kid, can be laxx ( he told me never to call him that).  Doesn't like to work hard at things and expects things to come easily but thats not life!  Anyway, he has been going off base every weekend which is great, down to the

Riverwalk and in town.  He did finally get the 3 boxes I mailed him, they sat in the mailroom and they never put a note in his mailbox, he had to ask for them, unreal!!!  Is Ashton scheduled to graduate on July 16th, that's Nick's day??  Hope your well, Tammy

Hi Judy, I was wondering the same thing about study materials!  Have not heard how test #2 went for Nick.  I think anything that could make it a little easier for our boys to learn the material would help.  If you get any suggestions for things to buy, please let me know.  

Have you been down to the base since Easter?  Your so lucky to live so close.  Hope your well, Tammy

HI Judy, how are you doing?  I'm ok.  So lonely without Nick around. Trying to keep busy, yard work has kept me pretty busy the last few weekends.  Getting nicer here, was 68 out today, woohoo!  How is Ashton doing?  Have you seen him lately?  So jealous you can drive and see your son!!  Sent Nick a box of junk food last week!  Sure he'll be popular in the barracks.  Nick sounds good, didn't do so well on the test last week and now going to the study groups at night.  Another test tomorrow so hoping he does well. Its pretty intense and a lot to learn.  I only talk to Nick on Sundays due to their intense schedule of school, PT, eating, the gym at night and more studying.  He texts me on Wednesdays to let me know he is Ok.  I don't want to put more pressure on him to talk to me during the week so I agreed to Sundays.  Hate it but I know its best for Nick.  How are you doing?  Don't think I am coming down in May, just too much money to spend for a weekend (it would be like $600 -$700 for 3 days) so thinking I will come down for a few extra days in July.  Hoping we can get together then.  Anyway, just wanted to drop a hello.  Take care, Tammy
