Hi Stephanie - how are things upstate these days? Is it just AWESOME having our boys back on US soil again? Has Ryder been home on leave yet? Danny comes home July 2nd. I am so out of the loop since we got back from Norfolk - my job has gone absolutely NUTS and I haven't had time for ANYTHING, so I am trying desperately to catch up with everyone now (my boss is out of the office until Monday). Write back if you get a chance and let me know how things are in your world!!! Have a great day!
Hi Stephanie, this was sent via email to me. If you want to email me at db28hill@verizon.net I can give you more info. "Counting down" Bren

Hello Stephanie. Thank you for the invite. Not sure how often I will post. I work on computers all day and when I get home try to stay away from them. LOL. I see that your son works in supply. My daughter is a fire fighter on works on the reactor. That is all she can tell me about her job. I am very excited for their return!!!!
Stephanie, I just read your post about making flight reservations from DFW to ORF, I have found that American Airlines has the best prices for the dates in question. Stay away from those NOT so cheaper flights and services. I have not booked ours yet but will in a few weeks. We go ahead and get our room booked and a vehicle reserved. These two would be easier to cancel if things were to change and I do pray that they do not! But the flights will be costly to change and that is the reason for the wait time on them. Good luck.

Hi Stephanie it's nice to meet you. My son Kyle is on the Nimitz. He just left Great Lakes in Jan., he is in awe at the ship. It looks like your son is on a carrier also. I read someplace there is a family day coming up in March. Have you been on one? I am interested in going on one, I would have to go alone, which scares me. But it would be fun I'm sure, I've only flown one time and that was with other family members. I see you work with ebay, that sounds interesting. Take care.
Hi Stephanie, thanks for the invite. Gee, I hope it wasn't my son that got into trouble.....he has a temper sometimes....lol I really doubt that it was....but you never know.
I am glad that Ryder keeps in touch with you.
Take care and keep in touch...Deb
Hi Stephanie, Thank you for inviting me to be your friend!! I love all your pictures.
Jeff is my son and sailor...he's a newbie. Just arriving in early December. I did have him home fresh from A school at Thanksgiving, but sure crazy missed him at Christmastime. he's only been gone for a short time, it seems like a life time. jeff graduated from high school in June and a month later set sail for GL he is my only child.
Jeff is a Yeoman for the VAQ-141 Shadowhawks. He does all the paperwork for the crew.
Have you heard from Ryder lately? happy 2009!!
