Evening everyone. I'm on a fact finding mission for Lindsay. Seems she thinking of switching rates. That I can handle and understand if she plans on staying in. Here's the kicker, they want her to go sub... I'm being a sounding board, and fact finder. Anyone with dolphins on is hard to find at a Naval Hospital :(

Good Morning to Everyone. Here is the picture I promised of Aurora and her first drink. LOL. not really. 

Comment by Catsmom on January 26, 2015 at 1:00am
Hope you all had a good weekend.

Anna, continuing the prayers for Jenn. It has to be so frustrating for her. So close and then all this. Hugs to her and you. Can she change her path if needs be?

Talked to Crystal, she passed her first test with high scores. She said it is hard to go back to life the way it was 4 years ago...LOL
off to bed. The alarm goes off way to early.

Good Afternoon everyone. 

Comment by Anna on January 23, 2015 at 6:52pm

Jean,

That first fall for a new mom is always scary!!!  Especially since like you said - it happens so fast!!  I'm so glad Aurora is ok though!!  That's the important part!!  Hope Christina lets you post the pictures!!!  I'll have to find and copy the picture of my oldest son's little girl!!  Similar to Aurora and the beer bottle!!!

Catsmom,

There is no such thing as planning too far ahead!!!!  How exciting to be looking forward to a visit!!

Thank you for the prayers everyone.  It really does mean a lot to Jenn to know she has other people praying for her.  She just keeps getting more and more bummed out about this process taking so long.  She's afraid she will loose her career because of something she had no control over!!!  Can't believe it's already been 4 1/2 months since she was so close to the end of her training.

Comment by Catsmom on January 23, 2015 at 10:42am
LOL,Jean. We always panic with the first baby. Happy Aurora is ok. Yes many falls to come. Can't wait to see new pictures!

Blondie stay safe. Praying the weather won't be that bad.

Happy Friday everyone.

Spyder how are you doing?
