Morning!!
What a beautiful name! I can't wait to see you! I will be in SD in October for the commissioning of the ship. I can go down anytime before that too. Just let me know. Always willing to make the drive to SD. I will also be down there in September. When the ship comes back....I will be on the docks if they let me! I will be the crazy lady who will find her kid before anyone else!
Hopfefully Justin can find his way home for the birth of the baby! The Navy should let him come home if they are close to port???? I guess we are going to find out! Tell her I said hi!!!
Hi!
I am so happy for you!!! I have not forgot you ! I have been computerless....could not get on at work! What a life! Busy and now I am ready to move on!!
I hope all is well with Krista and Justin! Baby and all! Let me know when you are coming and I will make sure that I am around to meet up with you guys! I will be in SD in September sometime and again in October. I could always go down and visit with Krista while Justin is gone! I can take her on a short walk as long as Bryan is not around! You know how he loves to walk!
How is the rest of the family? Hope all is well! Talk to you soon!
PS, my son said he chose Japan so he could open up a slot for a married guy to stay in San Diego and be with his wife, and Patrick said he was single, so it was easier for him to go to Japan than someone who just got married. What a guy.
Peggy, SERIOUSLY, if you don't want to wait till August, you could go in July when I go. Do you stay with Krista in San Diego where she lives? I know she must be lonely.
Yes, Peggy, my son is a QM (quartermaster) on the Gridley. He is also one of the ship's search and rescue swimmers (SARS). It will be good to have some input from other families of Gridley sailors this deployment I didn't know any others during their last deployment and I rarely heard from my son. I spent hours on other Navy news sites. This time promises to be not so lonely.
OS is Operations Specialist. As far as the search....I just used the search bar at the top right of the N4Moms site and found various threads, groups, and people that I thought might be associated with SG7 and/or the Gridley.
Hi Peggy. I haven't really been on here much to know how this all works here but I searched Gridley and found some friends! My son is an OS and this is his 2nd deployment. I know it must have been horribly hard for your DIL Krista. I'll be thinking about you both.
Wow that is close but God willing he will be there. I like it here my mom just left from visiting us for 5 days. and I am making friends so its getting better. its great that he will be able to be on land for 18 months because I dont know what we would do if Alex missed the first 2 years. The babies change soo much and its amazing how time flies.
Oh Peggy congratulations!!!! This is wonderful. I just uploaded some new pics of Nathan he is 6 months old as of the 23rd. I can't believe how time has gone by. I noticed it just flies especially after I had him so I am trying my hardest to enjoy every moment. Sorry it took me so long to write back I havn't been on this site in a while. But please keep me updated on your grandbaby!!!
Congratulations!!!! This is good news!!!! I guess you will have to move down here!
Justin is going out on deployment! Bryan too! He leaves for Mississippi next month and then from there out to sea on his first also! I think his thoughts are finally! He can't wait. Excited beyond words! He is here for the weekend and Monday I am getting up very early to drive him back to SD for 7:30 muster. Ugh!!!!
Supposed to rain heavy that day, but going to stop and see my Grandma on the way back.
No he doesnt have leave. I am going back home for a couple weeks with the baby. I like the blue candle Idea its cute and significant. How long will he be away on his ship?
HI PEGGY!!! Im so sorry it took me this long.. gosh I have been so busy havent even check this site. How long is Justin staying on the boat? I will try to get more pics on here. Nathan is getting so big I can not believe he will be 3 months on the 23rd already.
HEY PEggy.. sorry its been so long but its been a little crazy. We finally made it up here. It is beautiful. So far so good but I know it will take some time too to get adjusted.
Hi Peggy, well it looks like after my 6 week check up we will be moving up there. We already have a house but of course we have to get our stuff up there and I just heard it takes them 12 days to get it up there. Its a bit hectic with a newborn and moving everything but we will manage..:)
