We finally heard from Claire last night...soooo good to hear her voice. It had been 3 weeks since the last phone call....I know I'm spoiled but I love hearing my baby girl's voice. She really sounded tired. She is on night shift and seems not to get enough sleep. Guess that is part of this tho.... She shared some of her adventures from Hong Kong....She did some shopping and also Claire said she has eaten a lot of new things...she used to be a "picky eater", but has now had octopus and squid...hmmmm.....Life is full of changes! However, we will still have the same meals as always on holidays when she is home, plus...of course, her full share of Tex-Mex! She was sooooo excited that they found a Mexican restaurant in Hong Kong that offered fajitas with "real" guacamole made from avacadoes, not mushy stuff that happened to be colored green and made from who knows what....Guess we always look for a touch of home no matter where we are...

Hello Everyone. I hope all is well in your families and busy lives. I just wanted to drop in ... say "hello" as I don't get on this site as often as I would like too. I hope everyone has a grand week and hears from their Sailor ... my Sailor Girl has had the opportunity to call us :-) it sure has made a big difference in her little sister's life. Little sister really misses her big sister and this has become a big adjustment for her, for all of us. Anyone with younger siblings at home drop me a line and let me how they are doing/adjusting with their brother/sister being away from the family nest ... Any advice? Thanks.

I found out 2 of Aaron's roommates names on the Wisconsin.. I got last names too but the 1st names are.. Billy and Rob.
He has 4 roommates. He just had a blond moment and can't remember the other 2 names. lol!

My son said he painted, moved furniture around in some of the classrooms, cleaned, even put up antenna's which (believe it or not) he actually enjoyed. I will assure you he never did these things at home. He saids they stay busy. This has been good for him.

My son was in the 10/30 PIR group as well. He was originally told he would start school on Nov. 3, then the 11th and now not for a month. I haven't heard if he has an exact date. What kind of duty do they have them doing in the meantime?

And thanks once again for keeping me updated.

There are things they can do while on hold. My daughter went to the base daycare and read to the preschoolers. She liked that. Besides that she has regular duty and watch. And soon they will be shoveling snow in GL!.

My son Aaron moved over to permenant ship the Wisconsin monday. He is on hold for FC for at least 3 months. He said he won't start ATT until January. Then who knows after that.

Tiffany... I think I found a house today. We need a 3 bedroom, cause I have a 5 year old, so we need the space. The guy is actually going to pick my husband up Sunday and how him the house, so fingers crossed it will work out. Thanks for all your help!! How long does it take for the Smartwebmove site to go through? I'm beginning to think I'm running out of time. Not to mention, my daughter and I are leaving for a week wednesday to visit my mom, then it's Thanksgiving, 3 days later my daughters birthday, and then 2 days after that it's the first. I talked to my hubby last night, and he seems to think all of this is no big deal. Me on the other hand I'm going crazy. I like to see hm do it.. LOL. But then again I couldn't do what he's doing right now, so there's a reason why we play the roles we do. :) When are you moving there? or are you there already?? Also, the 1800 allowance, when do you get that do you know??
