Yea, I'm definitely going to go up there every chance I get!!! That sucks that he is so far away :( You won't be moving there since you guys are married?
That's great! I'm actually going to see mine this weekend, his parents are going up there and they invited me to tag along. His a-school is only about 4 hours away so it makes it easier to go up there. After this weekend it'll probably be awhile before I can go back though. But I'll take whatever I can get haha!
Yea, it was great to meet you! I'm glad you said something to me haha. But yes I did find him and we were at the airport from 4 am til 9 pm actually. It was a long day but I was so thankful to get to spend that time with him. I definitely cried too when he had to leave. There just isn't ever enough time! I hope you enjoyed your time with your Sailor :)
Hey, Missy! I'm only about a week ahead of you. The doc says I'm further along than the baby is measuring, but I am going to talk to her about that at my next appt. My baby measured at 12 weeks last tuesday, so as of tomorrow I'll be 13 weeks, or so I think. :) I'm excited for our sailors to be to call home. If I remember correctly you should know something soon, right? I won't hear from mine til wednesday! I am so anxious!!! Well, I'll talk to you later. I have to finish cleaning and then start packing so I don't forget anything. :) See ya!
so am I! it's not even that I'm nervous he won't pass, I'm just nervous in general. I can't help it haha. but I'm so looking forward to getting that phone call tomorrow! he's only gotten to call 1 other time. oh, and congrats on being pregnant! I meant to tell you earlier but I must have forgotten. my brain is so scattered lol
haha yep! I saw him. I looked at those pictures for so long lol. I wanted to see some more pics! I read on the comments that they don't usually photograph the Captain's Cup so I guess we're really lucky we got to see pics! I have my candle lit for our guys tonight by the way :) I hope they do awesome
oh that's cool, my boyfriend wants to be on submarines eventually! yea we plan on getting married pretty soon. I can't wait to move up there with him! yea he's in picture 31 he's the one running. I looked for him in the picture that you saw your husband in but he wasn't in that one. it's funny cause I recognize 2 of the guys my boyfriend shipped out with in that picture too. could you find your husband in any other pics?
I will definitely be praying tonight! probably won't sleep too much either, I'm too excited. he'll be in Charleston, SC for a-school. what about yours? and thanks! :)
I can't wait either! this week is going by very slow. I'll be thinking about our Srs tonight, I'm sure they'll do great in BS21! Hope we get calls tomorrow!
No you do not have to make a sash. There will be lots of others there who won't have one. We are doing them because it will help us to recognize the moms from our PIR group on this site. So if you can't get one made at least come up to those wearing them and introduce yourself and let us know you are one of our queens lol. Look forward to seeing you there.
