Hi Donna! Thanks so much for letting me know about Cheddar's on Saturday. I have class on Saturdays but keep me posted on future gatherings and I would love to join!
Yes, on facebook--Lori Hogue and email is lorihogue@yahoo.com--comes to my blackberry too.
Happy for you that you got to spend quality time with your Sailor. What is his "title" (can't think of right term) My sailor is EM--he's at Nuke school in Goose Creek--classed up just this week.
Hello txsailorsam! So good to hear from you. I'm doing great, just trying to catch up. I am event coordinator for a retirement living community, so always something going on, plus my husband and I have an 8 yr old daughter and 11 yr son AND I keep getting those looks from my hubby--"you on that site again? I thought this was over...", so laying low for a bit. That's my sob story!
Now, it was so wonderful to get to meet you and your family and and sit with you--it was killing me and YOU I know that you couldn't see Sam from where we were sitting. If I had it to do over, I would have sat at the very bottom or end so we could have walked around and taken more pics and probably gotten to vist with our sailors. I will try to post some pics here later. I love all your pics--wasn't it great to sit at the airport with our sailors? Tired and sad, but would do it all over again. Take care and stay in touch!
Hey Donna, so sorry I didn't even know this comment wall was on my page til JessicaB pointed it out on our PIR group wall...guess a lot of new people did not know...I wasn't ignoring ya and couldn't have mrt up with you Monday because I usu work late on Monday. Anyway, have a great time with Sam. Things will get better in TX. Didn't know your pics were here either. Love your weiner dog!!! Paula
I did ask my husband -- how does one know when to perserve and when to say "I can take a hint?" It could also be a pacing issue -- that the rigt job will be open tomorrow.
Believe it or not, we were just about to step out the door to take Jake to the recruiters' office for his trip up to MEPs, and the recruiter had a family emergency and has to reschedule! Jake may have a stroke yet, poor guy.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I've been thinking about YOU and him all weekend!
I knew battlestations should be soon. Did you see any pictures of him from last weekend? Is he still walking around making sure no one faints? (I forget what that was called).

E remains in GL until December. She doesnt go to San Diego until later. Not sure why she gets the extra training.
