It has been a while since I have been on my page and I apoligize for that. So much has been going on, that I just didnt make the time to keep my page updated. So let me fill you in on the last couple of months.
My son went to A-Class in Meridian, where he completed his training. After he graduated, they held him there for 2 extra weeks, where in the process, he got a tattoo on his back, with his dad's name.

Saturday was a great day, visiting with our sailor. We had to leave, (being on a budget) earlier than we wanted. We took advantage of the time we had, visiting sites and eating at White Castle (that is a big deal, since we dont have one in Texas).

He started laughing and said "Well, I am calling you, I have 30… Continue

I used to think that Sunday was my favorite day of the week, to relax and just enjoy the day~ Well my perspective has changed so quickly, and it amazes me. Thursdays are the day that we get a letter from our son! Such joy to be experienced is just incredible. I came home from work yeseterday, and had forgotten about it being Thursday, and I checked the mail that the hubby brought it, and started to get upset. There wasnt a letter from our son, it really crushed me... but my husband was nice enou… Continue
