About 2 b a Navy Mom...That's really neat that we share the same birthday and that we're going through this together. I wish I knew his address.

annm...how odd..my b-day is Thanksgiving Day too and I am praying so hard for a phone call. When we got the call the other night, he said it would be 3 weeks before the next one but I am praying :)

Jane enjoy having Craig home..that is awesome news :)

Jane, that's great news. Enjoy your time with your son. Happy Chanukah.

Annm, I might be wrong, it has been a while since Steven was at boot camp, but I think he called me collect from boot camp the first time. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a happy birthday.

Craig texted me tonight - he is flying from CA to Charleston rather than Myrtle Beach, and saving $250!! He will be home Dec. 25 at 8:45pm - which is really fine - as we celebrate Chanukah rather than Christmas, and Chanukah is not really a big holiday - and has no worship service associated with it - more a holiday to celebrate the fact that it was the first ever war fought for religious freedom - so more a military victory holiday than a religious one! And you all know the definition of a Jewish holiday - "they tried to kill us, we won, let's eat" - lol! I am SO excited to have him come home - and all on his dime - wow - the Navy sure has made a man out of him fast! Thanks for all your warm wishes and good thoughts!

I wanted to say a great big thank you to each one of you. You have supported me this week, and I am so grateful. I have also learned that my 2 older brothers and baby sister are there for me in rough times. What a blessing! I will be so glad to get my son's address so that I can mail his phone card back to him. My birthday is on Thanksgiving day this year, and I was really hoping for a phone call since it's a holiday, but he has no phone card.

Jane is there anyway he can do that deal where they hop military flights for like free or something to get closer to home. One of my co-workers was just telling me about it..I know it is a lot more trouble but might be something worth looking into..at least if you could get him closer you could meet him somewhere.

Jane...I'm one of the guilty ones....I smelled Nicholas' clothes! LOL That is crazy about us all worrying about the chapstick! His girlfriend had bought him a brand new tube of GAMECOCK chapstick and it came back along with the tube he was using. So sorry to hear about the high cost of the plane ticket...that's a real bummer but I've been hearing for a few months now that airfare is going to be terribly high around the holidays.

Susan, I'm sitting here laughing, picturing you staring at the box! Too funny! And the reason it's funny is because I remember just sitting in my car looking at it on the back porch.


About to be a Navy mom, glad you got your call! I actually missed my "I'm here" call. He had called from the USO at the airport in Chicago before they transported them to GL. I was going to bed and I put my cell phone on the nightstand, made sure that I had a good signal, the ringer was on, etc. Well, I was laying there reading and my phone let me know I had a voice mail...IT NEVER RANG! Of all the calls to miss! I felt sooo bad because I thought Nicholas might feel like I didn't care enough to answer his call. Silly I know but at that point, emotions get the best of you! So glad that you're doing so well and hanging in there! Keep us posted on Jody!

Jane..I just saw about Craig and the airline ticket..I am so sorry :( That does sound like a grown up man watching his finances to me so be proud of that.

Got my call last night about 10:30...Jody arrived safe and sound. He had taken his cell phone so I had gotten 2 calls earlier in the day. Too funny about the chapstick..I wanted to send some but he wouldn't let me and I have been buying up his fav Avon type and putting it up to send to take to him in Jan..LOL!!! My Avon lady thinks I have a huge chapstick problem..haha!
