Hi Kim,
I just wanted to touch base for a minute with you, I know I have promised to get Brent to help me with the email, but I have been working anywhere from 10-12 hours day 5-6 days per week. I hope that things will settle down soon so I will have a few minutes to breathe and actually get in touch with my family and friends who mean the world to me. This job transition has proven to be quite an experience for sure, but I am giving it my very best, so we will see. Please continue to pray for me and I will for you as well. I hope that you are doing good and I know that you and I will have a different Thanksgiving this year with our sons away, but I pray that they will have a happy one too. How is Dan and Jason doing. What does Dan think of Guam, is it what he expected and is he in school there or active duty? How are things going for you and the rest of your family, is work going well for you there? So good to see the gas prices come down, it was 1.93/gal. last night when I drove by the gas stations. Just pray they will be able to stay there or lower for a long time, but I just don't know if they will or take a hike during or after the holidays. Well, let me go, and I promise to do my best to let Brent get me on email today or tomorrow. I have to get ready to go to town, I have some errands to run, etc., then we are in a parade after lunch today and tomorrow as well in another town. You take care and please touch base when you can. I have really missed talking with you, there is so many things we need to talk about when we can really talk. Thanks so much for your friendship and understanding during this transition. I look forward to touching base again soon. Take care and have a blessed day. :) Anita

Hi there,

Bet you thought I have dropped off this side of the world I'm sure. I apologize for not having been on lately but approx. 1 1/2 weeks ago they gave me a job proposal that I have to learn another person's full time job to do, along with my current full time job. I am about to pull my hair out, it is so totally overwhelming and I am so stressed right now. I have been trying to correspond between the two and get this, I will only have days to train with this other person before she leaves. I had three days last week and I will have tomorrow and Friday. I so wish I could find another job right now, but with the economy like it is, it makes it very difficult right now. I have put a couple calls in to the local colleges and I am going to try hard to see if there's any way that I can go back to school right now. Hopefully I can at least take a few courses on line and do some in class. Please pray for me if you will, I don't want to up and give up my job, but at the same time it is affecting me mentally and physically that I don't feel like I can hardly concentrate on anything much right now. Do you have any suggestions?
Seems like there is something all the time, and I apologize for going on and on about this, but I wanted you to know why I haven't been online lately. I promise that I will let Brent help me get set up with our crazy email soon so we can talk more and exchange phone numbers.
I hope and pray that you are feeling much, much better by now. Have you gone back to work yet? How are Dan and Jason doing, hope that they are doing great. When does Dan leave for Guam? I know that you all had alot of great times while they were home, can't wait to hear more about it.
Well, got to run to town and get some errands done. Please write back when you can, and hopefully I will be able to do the same. I sure have missed getting to talk with you, I know that we both have lots more to share. You take care and keep a smile, things will get better for us both because GOD is in control, that's my total peace of mind right there and it's sure what keeps me going. God Bless! : ) Anita

Hi there, My son Marc has been in Guam for a couple of years now. He bought a phone over there to call me here in the states which is much cheaper. He buys a straight plan I think which gives him so many minutes for so much $$. It works well for us. I call him too on my plan on my cell then he calls me back. E-mail and myspace always works too. However I don't hear from my son as though he is in the states but I guess that's the way it has to be. Hope this helps.

Hi There,Hope this note finds you all doing great!!  How is your visit going with the boys, bet you're all enjoying your time together for sure.  Jeremy sure is glad to be at home, but guess he will be gearing up in a few days to head to Florida.  He will be there until the end of January, then who knows where they will send him, somewhere good we hope and pray.  Sorry I haven't been on in a few days, but things have been kind of crazy.  I need to let Brent help with the email we have, we have to set it up different to send out emails, it's through Road Runner and it's always been different, so I always get him to get it ready for me to use.  We have got to come up with something different to use because this is so silly to have to go about it this other way.So how are you feeling?  I hope things are healing and you are feeling better and stronger each day.  I went to the neurologist on Wed. and he confirmed that I do have sleep apnea, so I am currently scheduled to have another sleep study in November unless they have a cancellation to use the C-Pap machine.  Actually, I found out yesterday they should have used it part of the night on my first study when they detected that I had it into the first 2-3 hours, therefore that would have eliminated the need for this second study.  I am going to contact their office and my insurance company to see if I will have to pay for this second one since things were not done as they should have the first time.  Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer that I won't, all this medical expense is adding up very quickly.  They said I stopped breathing an average of 16 times per hour.  No wonder I am tired huh?  That was amazing to me, I can't wait to get this C-Pap machine and get started on my way to a good night's sleep.Well, let me run for now, I've taken the day off to get a few things done and spend some time with Jeremy.  Found out yesterday evening late that they are moving me to another position with the hospital, but yet they want to keep my current duties with the program I am working with now.  My new list looks like mile long, but they gave me a proposal of either taking this one and having a job for sure, or they may possibly cut out my job and our program altogether before much longer.  They said that things were slow and that they were cutting out some full time positions and staff at this time, and having employees take time off without pay in order to help with the budget.  Times are getting tough everywhere it looks like.  I really don't have a choice at this time, but after the first of the year, I hope to try to decide if and what I want to go back to school for and get started.  Guess better late than never, but this is the second time in two years that this has happened to me, and I don't want to go through it a third time.  Please say a prayer for me right now if you don't mind.  I just have several major issues on my plate right now to deal with, and it is definitely affecting me both mentally and physically, and I am trying so hard to be strong and get through this, but it's tough right now. It's just a scary time to go through this at this point and time in my life, I do not always handle change very well, but sometimes we simply don't have a choice.
Thanks for letting me share today. I hope you all have a wonderful day and weekend together. When does Dan and Jason have to leave to go back? Please write when you can and I will do the same. I will get Brent to help me with the email and that way we can exchange phone numbers and talk, I am looking so forward to that. You take care and tell everyone we said hi, and we'll touch base again soon. God Bless You All. Anita

Good Morning,
Just a little note to say hi and to wish you all a very happy and blessed day together!! I know you must be so glad to have both Dan and Jason home at the same time. What a family reunion this must be for you all. I hope your days together will be filled with lots of fun and happiness, and wonderful memories to create for a lifetime. I will email you either today or tomorrow and we will exchange ph #'s so we can talk. I can hardly wait, that will be so wonderful! :) Well, got to run, but you take care and I hope that you are still doing good and healing without any problems. I will talk to you soon. God bless you all! :) Anita

Hi Kim,
So good to hear from you. Jeremy is home, his plane landed around 3:20pm yesterday in Charlotte. He got home in time to see Brent's performance at the game and see a few friends there. They had a pre-game military honor ceremony and had all the active military there to participate, that was unexpected but was very moving. How are you feeling today, so glad to hear that you haven't been in pain. When do you go back to the MD for your follow-up visit? I know you are so glad to have Dan home and are looking forward to Jason's arrival today. It's so wonderful having our sons home isn't it. So many people and places that are lined up for Jeremy to try to see and do before he leaves. This week will be a busy one I'm sure. How long does Dan have at home before he leaves for Guam? I will be writing more on your email and we can exchange ph #s as well, that will be even better. I go Wed. afternoon to get my sleep results from the neurologist, his office called the next day after my sleep study and wanted to see me. I feel like he might say it's sleep apnea, but we will have to wait and see. I have a few appts. on hold until we find out about this. Maybe they are finally going to be able to give me the answers we need to get things addressed so we can finally get better and move forward, and I pray that you get back on track and feeling better really soon too!
Well, got to run and get something for everyone to eat. They are all slowly but surely crawling out of bed one by one, and are looking for something to eat. (ha-ha) You take care and I pray that you will all have a wonderful, happy ,and blessed reunion with one another. This is truly what we have all been waiting on, and I know that it will be the best time ever for your family and ours. Take care and have a wonderful day and I will be talking with you soon. God Bless You All, Anita

Kim, I just popped in by accident and see that you have a sailor heading for Guam. My sister just spent a year there on a civilian contract with the Navy. We were able to talk to her at anytime with rates like local calls because her company paid for a cell phone that had an 'international' plan. You have to contact your cell phone carrier, but most of them have some sort of international capabilites which you can pay for. I don't know how much her company paid for the plan, but it was worth it's weight in gold.

Josh leaves Sunday and I am trying to get myself ready for that. I know he will be fine but, just the thought of it I guess. I will be okay once I know he is there and happy. I'm glad that you are okay and you take care and enjoy those 2 sailors and tell them thank you for me and give them a big Navy4Mom hug from all of us. take care
hugs
