Just Me

Hello Everyone. Tonjia politely reminded me that I needed to make another post on my blog:) I just need a little nudge from time to time. Today was pretty uneventful although yesterday not the case. Jerry Wayne got his perm dorm room yesterday so he was moving after he got off work. Talked to him numerous times and then we texted back and forth until after midnight last night. Talk about pooped!! Anyhow, JW and I had various conversations on how I thought he should decorate his dorm room! LOL! I just cant stop being Mom I guess. No really....he has a really nice kitchen for it being a dorm. I got off the phone with him and lo and behold, here came all the thoughts of what I think he needs! I did not even think of this before he left because his Dad didnt have a kitchen while at his first duty station or any other dorm for that matter. Microwaves were not invented yet!!! LOL Jerry Wayne couldnt believe all this as I was telling him last night. So anyways..... I am thinking, curtains, dishes, silverware, toaster, coffee pot, dish towels, paper towel holder and on and on and on! My brain would not shut off! So, in the midst of a hot flash at 12:30 last night, (at least that's what I think it was, although Dr.s would say I am too young, HA) I get up and start shopping on Targets website. Well, I found all kinds of stuff. Hoping the Target right off base at Tinker carries everything so I dont have to ship it. I know, curtains are not something for JW since he is a guy, I am just not used to all this bachelor living, especially when it's our son!!!! The other stuff, he will definitely use though.

Light bulb just went off! Next time I can't sleep, I just need to get on here and let it fly!

I will try to post some more pictures tomorrow. They are on the other computer.

Happy Evening to everyone:) Toodles!!

I guess today is the day:)

This is a pic of "US" at the hotel the night before our son Jerry Wayne left to go "Into the Blue"
aka the United States Air Force!!!

Hello everyone. I have been thinking about starting a blog for a long time now and I guess today was the day. For some reason I felt compelled! I can only hope to be as good a blogger as Hallie or Deb or Tonjia or various other people who I admire. Today was pretty uneventful. I went to work and then went grocery shopping, fun fun! And of course tonite is Survivor! Although I am not liking it too much that Ozzie got voted off last week.

I feel it only appropriate to start this blog by saying that I am so thankful for my extended family also known as the AF Mom's and Dad's. They have been my saving grace for the last 9 months since Jerry Wayne has been in the USAF, HUUH! I don't know what I would have done without them and to this day, I could never thank them enough for being there for me in this journey. Jerry Wayne is now stationed at Tinker AFB, OK and is loving it so far (YAY, makes me extremely happy!!) and sad, that he doesnt seem to need me like he used to. I guess it is all part of the letting your adult child go process!! I will live and he will continue to flourish. I am so glad that we still have our youngest son Devon home with us. He is 12 now so I don't have to let him go for awhile, thank Goodness!! Hopefully I can make this blog as interesting for everyone else to read as others I have seen!!

I would just love to wish Hallie and John a special prayer for John to have a speedy recovery! And for Bre to be as happy in the Navy as she would have been in the AF although, once an Airman, always an Airman! She is just going to grow her sea legs now!! And for Debbies BF daughter Ashlie to find peace in their loss. My prayers go out to them this evening.
