Profile Information
- A little about me:
- I am first of all a child of God & believer that Jesus Christ is my Lord & Savior! Being a young woman, I am at 52 years of age & happily married to a wonderful & successful man who has also raised my daughter as his own for the past 9+years. I have an amazing 20 year old daughter, Taylor Angelique, who just called me last night to inform me that she had safely arrived at Navy boot camp & was concerned that I would not worry. I also have two older sons, ages 33 & 30. They are both married & have children of their own. My oldest son Jason has 4 daughters...Lilian, Ava Grace, Rowan Alexandra, and Lilah Abbott...who was born only two weeks ago. My younger son, Justin, has 1 daughter, Alyssa Anne, who is at the ripe old age of 6 months. Justin joined the US Marine corps at 20 years of age...& turned 21 while fighting in Iraq. We are blessed to have him home after completing 2 tours in Iraq. I especially enjoy gardening and baking cookies with my older grand-daughters. I help my husband with our family business...casket sales. I also embroidery personalized head panels for customers who request them. As a side hobby, I enjoy remodeling & refurbishing old things. On a rainy day, you can find me in my "craft" room creating beautiful jewelry with authentic gemstones. And every once in a while, we take off for a few days of camping in our RV...just NOT often enough! A few words that I believe best describe me would be happy, considerate, respectful, trustworthy, articulate & energized! If I know that I won't be able to keep my word, I just won't give it. To have me as a friend is to have someone you CAN depend on. Now you know a bit about me!

- Since I really do not know anyone personally who has served in the US Navy, my experience with the Navy so far has been limited to information obtained from my daughter & her recruiter.
Although, Taylor has always carried herself with dignity & self-respect, I have seen a difference in her determination to complete tasks and overcome obstacles with a greater degree of patience as well as humility. I've also learned that even the best of intentions spoken by family & friends can sometimes be so misunderstood causing me to wonder, "What were they thinking?" A dear friend of my mine thought he was encouraging me with this statement, "Just remember all of the parents who are having to go through this type of separation for the first time...at least you've been down this road before." Can I say, the word "insensitive" (along with a few other words) is the first thing that came to mind. Yes, this is indeed my second time "down this road", but it still feels like the very first time! I do believe that the decision Taylor made to join the US Navy was well thought-out and prayed about. I simply could not be more proud of her! My husband said something to me the other day that will forever echo in my mind..."The Navy will be great for Taylor and Taylor will be great for the Navy." And I totally agree!
- Our Navy experience so far...
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Taylor'sMom,
I see you recently joined the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you!!! We are a friendly caring group of moms and are always willing to listen, share and help each other whenever or wherever we can. Please feel free to join our chats, we love talking about everything from work, family, weather - whatever. Plus the joyful and anxiety filled journey of being a Navy Mom!!! Let us support you when you're missing her, lend an ear when you need to vent, and celebrate with you when you want to brag!! I have a daughter who enlisted in 08 and is out now, getting ready to go to college on the GI bill. Her twin sister was just commissioned as an Ensign and is in Pensacola awaiting to start training as a Naval Flight Officer. I also have a son who has served 8 years so far and just reenlisted for 6 more. Each time it was really hard when they initially leave. It gets easier after awhile but I don't think we ever really get used to them being gone like this. Not only do we worry more about their choice of "work" but the separation is so much different. Not all parents understand that unless they have children serving in the military. That's why it helps so to talk to others who are going through the same thing!! We look forward to learning about you and your sailor!!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!
Congratulations on your letter! That's wonderful. Just wanted to check in and see how you were doing. I have not gotten anything from my son yet. Still waiting (rolling eyes...tapping foot). This is awful. My phone is glued to me and the mailman knows I hate him.
My daughters name is Courtney. I finally got a letter today from her! She said we could go up for Thanksgiving! I'm sooo happy that I can spend that day with her, it's her favorite holiday :) She wants me to "adopt a recruit" It's sounds fun! She said that they were all her brothers and sisters in that company and that she loves them all.. I wrote her back and told her that I had met Taylors mom on here. I can't wait to get my first call! Have you gotten anything yet?
I agree with your comment, ppl can be very insensetive. I think some ppl just can't belielve my daughter has the balls to do what so many ppl themselves don't have the balls to do. Just sayin.
Maybe they will be friends LOL like they are in 5th grade. Yesterday was my Bday and a letter would have been great but nothing :( Anything from Taylor yet?
Hi Taylor'sMomShip02Div903!
Happy to meet you. My son as you know is in this Div and I just hope all is fine with these youngsters. I know you have concerns about your daughter but your faith will certainly conquer those fears. I decided to add all the groups I have interest in or that I feel may give me more info on our recruits. Be just as open and inviting as you appear to be. My son has wanted this for some time. I never considered that he may be in the performing division. So happy. Do you have any idea what Taylor will be doing. Where will she be going after PIR?
