All I can say is WOW!!!! I can see now why my SR doesnt tell me very much details in her letters!!! Theres alot of info to tell me!!! I cant believe what they have to go through!!! My thoughts and prayers are there foa Ship 02 DIV 925!!!
I cant wait!!! 3 more weeks and we will be with our "Sailors"!! Woo Hoo!!
I know me too!!!   I just wrote Ash today and asked her what she wants me to bring so I can start getting it ready,  I understand they can have cell phones, laptops, etc at A-school, does anyone know if this is correct?
I saw on the RTC fb page that they can have them but not until they go to the airport. They cannot take them back to base with them. My daughter alreadt made me a list of what she wants me to bring. It was in my letter yesterday! LOL. I cant wait to get my letter next week b/c she said she was going to give me all the details of this week which she called "hell" week??!! She said alot was going on this week and wanted time to prepare for it thats whay her letter was short yesterday!
I know! Ashley was short in hers too but did say this week was going to be a tough one. I can't wait to hear from her. isn't this the weekend they get a call? I am going to stay glued to the house just in case LOL.
I am seeing alot of people with Sr's graduating the same day that to expect a call Sunday. So I am hopeful that they will. Marissa called my cell the last time so I wont have to stick by the house phone all day. She knows that this is the best # to reach me at. LOL She told me in that last phone call that she would talk to me in  weeks and this is 2 weeks!! If she does call again her dad is working & will miss her call!! He will be VERY upset if he misses it again!! Marissa & her dad are very close. Actually she is close to both of us. But its weird I am closest to our oldest daughter and John has a bond with our youngest! They share alot of same interest (they are outdoorsy type.) like gardening and stuff like that. Marissa has 4 years of Horticulture in high school and 1 year of in in college. But she hated college and joined the Navy!! SO glad she did b/c I would never have met (online) all of you guys!!

Here's the ladies in their new coop. We FINALLY got it finished...well, almost LOL. It needs the rest of the roofing shingles put on and painted and it;s done. We did the whole coop with recycled materials. I thought you all might like to see our new additions :) 

 

We set the coop up so the little darlin's would have a good view of the mountains too hehe

 

 

 

 

 

They are sooo cute. My daughter marissa had a chicken & rooster 2 years ago & then her chicken laid 4 eggs, so then we ended up with 6. She has also raised 2 mallard ducks about 4 years ago that got seperated from their mother. Did you ever see the movie "Fly Away Home" . Well marissa would walk through the yard & call the ducks & they would follow her all ove the yard just like the geese did in that movie! LOL
Oh that is SOOO Sweet!  We're eventually going to dig a pond and I'm hoping to get ducks and maybe even 2 swans... In the meant time, the chickens will keep me busy. They are already responding to my voice, when cal them "CHICKENS!!!!!" They all come running to the front of the coop and when they were in teh temporary cages they would get all excited when I went in to feed and water them. They love to eat from your hand and jump up and sit on your arms. They're so sweet. We are giving 12 of them away, I can't keep all 29... I'm going to miss them :( I'm already attached to all of them!! LOL
I would be in heaven living there.   I live on a highway.  Literally.  Well my complex is inlaid away from the highway, but if you walk out the gate, there's no where to go but into traffic.  My dream house has at least an acre of land, and a horse to ride around it.  Maybe when I retire!   When I go apple picking, which is down South Jersey, I LOVE the rolling green fields.  I really feel like I've died and went to heaven in those places.  I'm very much a country girl at heart.
I grew up in the city and when John & I got married he said he wanted to live in the country some day. I didnt know if I would like it b/c the city is all I Knew. He only ever lived in the country!! Well here we are been married almost 27 years and have lived in the country for almost 23 years. We have a little over an acre of land but what is nice is my mother in law and sister in law/brother in law both live behind us. We have 2 apple trees and my sister in law has 2 horses. My mother in law has a pool so all I have to do is walk down through the back yard to go swimming!! We used to have a pool but it was really old and started to fall apart so we tore it down & decided not to get another one since my mother in law had one I could just use hers!!
That sounds wonderful, you are very lucky.  It must have been a culture shock to move out of the city into the country.  People have a different way of life down in south Jersey.   I'm only a half hour outside of NYC, so its pretty much just like living in the city as far as the people go.  Personality's are keeping up with Jones, who's car is better, who has the more expensive designer shoes...In the country, its not like that and I can definitely get used to it.  Well maybe... I think I have the suburbs kind of imprinted into me.  I really have a thing for shopping...okay I'm getting a bit off track...lol
