I think my son and one of his friends is taking my family and his friends family out to eat. Other than that i have no idea what we are going to be doing, figured we would wing it. My son goes to Pensacola for A school where does your bf go?
Yes 4 boys I always told my husband that GOD must have thought me to be a pretty good kid cause my grandma always told me we pay for our sins through our kids... well i had boys so my husband must have been a hand full..lol Yes I will be at the Meet and Greet I am staying at Ramada Waukegan. I cant wait for the PIR i miss my son something awful. Andrew was the one I talked to when i needed some advice, now i need it and unlike you i didnt get a call sunday :( he said he and 10 others lost their call because of something he hoped that he would gain it back but i guess he didnt :(
We met 3/26 when he came up for a wedding that never happened. He came to see me on 6/17 before reporting on 6/27...he got there 6/30. I have no contact with his family....they haven't met me yet! So, I don't feel right about asking them his info, ya know. He always does what he says, he said he'd write when he could. I think he's in the 8/26 PIR. I love your pictures! I haven't had much time to look around here...work, internet down at home etc...LOL!
I am well! I'm missing my SR terribly though. We live in two different states, so we communicate all the time by text and phone calls. It makes it more bearable. The last I heard from him was 6/30 when he sent me a postcard from the Chicago airport before boarding the bus to GL. I was impressed! He left his phone behind, so I was thankful that he thought to do that. We are not your average couple. We are both older, I'm 43 and he's 39. When we met he was working on joining, so I knew what I was up for! We've been joking that all the guys would nickname him Pops!
Andrew is my son not my husband...lol. We are from Arkansas, his last name is Gaynor. If you ask him if he knows andrew, well they probably have not heard their first name in so long your BF would be confused..Has he gotten a call home recently? Andrew said he was suppose to last week but lost it.
Hi Navygal - It was an awesome celebration for their graduation and it was outside....I can't explain the feeling I got watching nearly 800 sailors march onto the field and then perform...WOW! You can watch a video on youtube of it...one of the other mom's from our son's div 933 posted it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_YaMoKw9Qg. He is in FL currently for Aschool -
When is the graduation you will attend? Did you get your phone call from him? How exciting that is...
Oh wow...you are very close to me. I'm about an hour an a half east of Pitts. I'm sure you are very excited about graduation! You will have such a great experience if you attend! I wish I checked this out before my son graduated BC...it has alot of helpful information! Well best wishes to you and yours.....
