4 YEARS OF BLESSINGS AND MEMORIES OF BEING A MEMBER OF N4M
Hey all just wanted share a couple of thoughts and a video with you all...
Feb 28, marked 4 years since my first Sailor left for BC. March 1, 4 years ago N4M was "officially" launched. March 2, I found N4M, joined and it has been one of the best thing I have ever done. I remember........Karen Gallagher posting a wonderful welcome on my page....celebrating 1,000 members then later 5,000 members and then when we hit the "big" 10,000 members several of us were guessing what time that day it would "happen" then going to that person's page and congratulating her! I don't think she knew what hit her!! Tehee... Now we are almost 60,000 members STRONG WOW!!!! I also fondlly think back on going to my first PIR in April 2 months after joining and having one of the first PIR gatherings the night before at the "Full Moon" diner down the road from RTC.....It was a very special night as Catherine, our ADMIN at the time, came, we had a Live Web cast from the diner on the N4M site and members were able to watch us all from home....it was so much fun meeting some of the ladies that I had been talking to on N4M the past 2 months.... Then a little over a year later my second Sailor left for BC....This time was easier and harder because I knew what to expect and when to expect.....but when I went to PIR the second time...it was just like the first....something you never forget!! WOW this time has gone by so fast!! I have meet so many wonderful moms and GFs on this sight... and I have memories with moms I would never trade and civilian moms will NEVER have LOL.....I am so greatful and blessed...... Thank you all for being apart of these memories, praying and crying with me..... Now that the 4 year mark has passed it feels bitter sweet to know that several of those same moms that I first met here now have their sailors leaving the Navy......but ONCE a Navy mom, ALWAYS a Navy mom.... and HUGS to you all!! To their Sailors I wish them all Fair Winds and Following Seas and God's blessings in all their future endeavors! As for me... 4 years later I have 2 Sailors in the Navy and you all will have to "put up" with me for a few more years! =] LOL
Navy for Moms...I know you will be around for a very long time!! If not...the country will have alot of moms going though "withdrawls"!
Now checkout this video of how it all started.....
