Hello all! =)
The last time I was on N4M was when my boyfriend of 3 years left for Great Lakes in January. I found this site to be incredibly helpful and a huge support to get me through until he graduated in March. (so I thought I could get your help again...lol) Since he has been back, I have noticed all of the wonderful changes in him and all the new possibilities available to him now that he's in the Navy. It's made me start to think about my future and what I would like to…
ContinueMy oldest child, my beloved and only daughter left for boot camp a week ago today. It's been a wild and exciting ride thus far! I never knew my heart could feel so many emotions in such little time. Yesterday, I received the form letter and the box within an hour of each other, and it felt like Christmas!
I am impressed that my daughter could cram so many words onto those four lines! I get the idea she dislikes the food and misses my cooking. She's also worried she looks like…

Hello,
I'm hoping someone out there will be willing to share hotel information with me. I have checked into the Ramada Inn & Holiday Inn & Suites in Waukegan, IL - but have never stayed in either. If you have stayed in either place - please share your opinion of them with me. I do not know the area at all - so would appreciate an experienced opinion... as well as any other graduation weekend information you would be willing to share with me.
Thanks so…

I think this sight has helped me get thru the tough time and I want to
thank some of the wonderful MoM's.

how to bring up the old animal. It grieved him that he could not pull the animal out. He’d been a good worker around the farm. …
