Thanks ladies for all your congrats. Winging was truly an incredible experience. And now...we have a SERE date. It seems impossible that he is at this point. I've been watching and reading this site for 4 years or so. And SERE always seemed so far off. He did get his orders and will actually have time for a house hunting trip and a Navy move this time. But, they will arrive, move in and 2 days later he leaves for SERE and leave his bride alone in a new place. So, I'll be praying for both of them!
Kris-Congrats on all the exciting news and the new grands!
NurseNavyMom and FlyboyMom-how wonderful to see your kids and families.
Great pic CheriH and congrats on the winging and house sale!
My DS and his brother are aggies but husband and i are not. DS should wing in the spring and i am so glad to hear about that ceremony. Sounds fun!!
Cheri, hopefully we will meet up. Hubby has a board meeting at A & M later this year. Not sure I am going with him. Will let you know.
JudyM...a house divided! Love it. We are all Aggies. Hubby, me, both kids, both dil and sil. With lots of aunts and uncles too. We get down for most football games. I will let you know next time I am up your way!
Cheri, maybe next time you are around we can get together. I am an Aggie and my husband is on an advisory board at A & M. In fact hope to get there this fall. My DS's wife is a longhorn (UT). This makes for lots of family fun and rivalry.
Marianne- thankyou, thankyou for the deployment tips. I will print that up to save, my DS will be deploying for the first time early 2015. And how thankful you must be he is on his last cruise, safe journey!
Cheri- great winging story and you all look beautiful in your photos!
JudyM...It's good that they are used to heat. I'm so sorry I missed you when I was in Sacramento. Had a great dinner with Paymaster. Did she tell me that you are a Texas Aggie? Or was I dreaming that?
Oh good...glad it's nicer than Kingsville. I think they are a little concerned that it's another Kingsville. Out in the middle of nowhere. Course, that is where they put jet bases! I'll look forward to Gunny's!
