Sherry- so good to hear from you! I just got off the phone with Paul. He graduates this friday but said orders probably won't come in for another month. He and his room mate got moved as the floor they were on got condemned due to sewage leaking in when they got back from Christmas stand down. Nice huh!
I hope you are enjoying Norfolk and your husband is doing well. Paul hates GL and is so tired of the cold and snow. He doesn't even care where his duty station will be at this point so long as it's not GL!
I wasn't able to make it to the cupcakes ahoy thing. I couldn't convince my sailor and his friends to go they wanted me to cook dinner instead. Boys?!?! I'll be at the Christmas Party though on the 10th will you?
I noticed your post on the ACEF group wall and I wanted to say good luck with your move!!! I am planning to move with my husband to Great Lakes in Feb. His PIR is Nov. 19th
That is so fantastic that you are donating that money towards Molly's adopt a sailor!! Someone told me that you were starting up in Norfolk... is this true??
You are part of Cupcakes Ahoy?? OMG!! This is such a great service!!
I'm going to use this soon. My son is in Great Lakes in A school..
Nice pictures!!!
We are from Washington State. I was there in GL in April to see my son Aaron graduate BC.
We were only able to see him afew hrs.
Aaron's B-day was 7-26. Thats how I found you people were talking about this on Navyformoms. Great Idea to make all those sailors feel special!!
Hats off to you and your helpers!! :)
