We really had a very nice Thanksgiving with our Seaman at home....Had to take him to Norfollk this past weekend(hmmm) is all I can say. I was very impressed to say the least. He asked me "momma are you going to cry," he told me I had to man up since I was a Navy Mom.... I had to be bold and say no~even though I was melting on the inside. He never saw a tear. I am a Proud Navy Mom!!!

I have so much to be thankful for. My son called me before 6 am this morning EXCITED.... to let me know that he passed his final test before he graduated from school today!!!! After lunch I got another call to tell me he had Graduated. About an hour or so later. He called me to tell me "He loved me and thank you momma" I was a little teary eyed......but still thankful!

You're not a badnavymom, IBee! I hope you CAN make it next time! Our tentative date is February 8th. We've kind of outgrown IHOP (which is very crowded and doesn't have enough parking), so we're talking about moving to one of the other places in the same area, such as Golden Corral or Cracker Barrell, maybe.
Hi IBee, My son's name is Bagley. Like I said he is a "newbie." He just graduated from Boot Camp June 1st, so all of this is new to him. I see you are from Burlington, NC. I'm from Elizabeth City, but my husband is from Michigan, so after he got out of the Navy, we moved back to the West Michigan area to be closer to his family. My family still lives in EC, and they were excited that my son was going to be stationed in Norfolk. He's about 45 minutes from them and he got to spend his last weekend with them before he flew out to meet the ship. Looking forward to getting to know you and all of the moms and dads on this website better. Cynthia
Glad to meet you...and look forward to getting to know you better...
