Good evening, ladies! Last night I wrote a message all about the call from my Jacob on Saturday afternoon and accidentally deleted the entire thing.. I was messaging from my phone (which is normal for me) but I was in the car coming home from a really long day trip drive....it was dark, I was tired....But Jacob called Saturday just when I sat down in a hair dressers chair; it was my first time at that salon and couldn't ask her to wait a half hour while I talked to my SR =( Was glad my adult daughter was with me to chat, but I was so jealous. Jacob is still sick with cough and crud, felt better for a few days but it returned. He said a lot are still sick, eating as healthy as he can to fight it. He was thinking next calls will be October 10th....Jacob called his dad after talking to his sister, those lucky ducks!
Is everyone going to Sarge's meet and greet? I'm so excited!
Jacob heads to Dam Neck, VA for A school, anyone else? He said he's Gibbs visit his new buds in Pensacola next summer. These guys, I just love them! -

Oh, this was funny. The division had the opportunity to donate blood and although Jay has been a regular blood donor for quite a while, what inspired him to donate that day was the COOKIES after donating. That kid!

good morning everyone...time seems to be flying by and October 19 is almost here, I have been reading about the shirts and not sure where or how to order them. @ Brandon's mom, I bet Jacob is talking about visiting Garrett, that is where he is heading for A school...I love that they all have become such good friends, they all need that right now!

Good morning Garretsmom. You should also check with your son if he ordered them, because I was getting ready to order the shirts then I got a letter from my daughter and she said they designed the shirts and ordered one for me and her dad.

I received a letter today from my daughter and she says she knows your son! She said she probably knows others but they all go by their last name and she does not know everyone's first name.
