Sailor(son) is in Groton and loving it but wanting to get started on classes. He is still on hold and patiently waiting for his security clearance. He is enjoying New England and the interesting sites around the area. He has been to NYC, Providence, Boston and Newport. In a couple of months he will have been in the Navy for a year. Wow it just doesn't seem like it.

i hit a point in my life where i was missing my sailor, he chose to go home to NM to see his girlfriend instead of Me MOM while on leave...so i honestly sunk into a little depression so i finally decided i needed to get out of it and went and got me a new hair cut yesterday...

Friendships are needed in our crazy journey called Navy life.  Everyone needs to feel like they can relate to someone in any kind of level, but sometimes we can get hurt by choosing the wrong people in our life.  I wrote a blog about how choosing positive influential friendships can help you during this journey. Enjoy :)…

My SR's box finally showed up today!!!  I'm hoping I get "the letter" tomorrow.  I am waiting to send him letters and can't wait to finally hear from him!!!  Good luck to all who are still waiting for their SR's box!  :-)

Hello All,

Just got home from Charleston where I visited my Nuke in A school. We had a great time. Charleston is a smallish city, so getting around was easy, there were Navy people everywhere and military discounts are applied easily. 

For example, our Nuke wore his NSU's to the Yorktown at Patriot's Point, and not only did he get in free, but my daughter and I got in for half price.

My daughter hadn't seen her brother in almost six months, and she noticed right away how…

Got my letter today!  I was so happy to finally know I now have a way of contacting my boy.  I don't know why it brought me comfort but it did.  August 29th we will be Chicago bound!! Wooo Hooo

There comes a time in marriage when you just have had enough... when you have the biggest fight and you are trying to give yourself tons of excuses and justify why you should leave.  In my recent post, I talk about how persevering actually can make your marriage so much stronger.  Follow the link here to read all about it.

just looking for people i can talk to about what it feels like having a loved one in the navy.

I'm a few days late  with this. But here it is.

On July 2nd 2014, my Sailor celebrated his 2nd anniversary with the Navy. How can it have been that long already? It seems like just yesterday that he swore in at MEPS and left for boot camp. 

I can…

I'm excited how I get to write about the sensitive subject of comparing ourselves to others :)

Enjoy

Well today is  "heck" of a day... Its my Sons 21st Birthday, which is bad enough because I miss him so much,plus as a bonus  I got "The Box" today.  I didn't prepare myself for the that wave of emotion.  Needless to say not a good day.  But I found the PDay Itinerary extremely helpful.  I felt like I knew what he was doing and where he as been.  I cannot wait for the letter with his address..

Better days are ahead!  Still so proud.

Hello ladies!

It's been awhile since I've been on!  Trying to get moved and what not!  

Just curious, have any of you, or do any of you, live in MenRiv B housing on base in Goose Creek?  We just found out that we are in the remodeled stuff!  Just wanting to know if you have any tips or advice about the houses/housing office/living on base!

I just got "the box"  and I did not throw up on the poor Fed Ex guy (lol) I am pretty emotional though.

What do the ship and div # indicate?

Hey ladies,

It has been a very prayerful thing for me to begin this website but it is for anyone in a relationship with a sailor.  It is geared for all branches but I am a Navy wife so I can relate to my navy sisters.  Hope you enjoy the blog and facebook page :)

Well...yesterday was the BIG day that I turned my son over into the hands of the Navy.  It was an emotional day and really LONG for all of us.  We woke up early and got ourselves ready and then headed over to MEPS to meet up with my son.  There were 4 kids shipping out that day.  2 Navy and 2 Air Force.  The other Navy recruit was from our recruiting office.  The swearing in was really neat and we got to take LOTS of photos.  They even let us take pictures of our son signing his contract.…
