Hi there! It was great meeting you and Britt (though it seems weird calling her that when Sam still refers to her as Jeffrey). I am glad the girls had eachother though boot camp. Sam said she got to hang out with her the other day when they were both off base. Hopefully they will stay in tough through their travels. They share a special time in their life that should be treasured.
I don't know about you; even though I am incredable proud I miss my baby like crazy! I have a 3 yr old at home but still feel the "empty nest". Can't wait for Christmas!
Take Care!!
OH if you have pics of Sam & Britt can you send to me? I would like to add to the scrap book & I putting together. Thanks!!!
He's on Ship 11 Div 274 ...not seeing that on the Navy web sight...where did your daughter end up??
Hi Thanks for sending the friend request. I remember seeing you and your daughter at MEPS the day they left. I think our daughters are already friends. I remember them smiling at one another when everyone was snapping pictures. My name is Lori :) Nice to meet you. I see that you are going to the bbq in Walnut Creek. I was thinking about it too but dont know yet. I was so happy yesterday when we got the form letter. Now I can mail her all my letters. Hope to talk more soon Lori
Ok, so what is your really name? Mine is Jody
I am an old timer. My son left right after high school in 97.
My kids all went to Del Campo.
Having lunch would be lovely, however we are on manditory overtime here in my office, so getting out is not happening anytime soon. But I will keep lunch in mind for when I have lunches again.
We can always meet in the evenings or on weekends. Several of us are always up for a last minute go for coffee thing! These are a great group of ladies. Some of my best friends are mom's that I have met through my son's Navy career.
Hope you can come on the 16th. Just look for the ladies making all the noise. We are a lively group!
I feel like I already know you.
So how are you holding up? Did you husband serve in the military?
