[KYmom]

How many of us are awaiting for our sailors to come home soon to visit?



Pengilum282 is coming home in August for 2 weeks before being deployed sometime in the fall. YEAH ! ! ! !
But he expects me to cook all his favorties when he comes home...LOL.....

[matt's mom]

I get my Sailor the first 3 weeks of Aug.
It is normal fro them to want all their favorite food, especially before deployment and then after

[Kristie]

Cool......we are waiting to hear if we can fly Jennifer home for a few days before she crosses over to the GW in Aug.....

[denmom]

Congrats to all those getting their sailors home.
Enjoy your time together......

[cousinIT]

I already requested my favorite....chicken spaghetti! =]
I just hope they let me go home since I'll be in San Diego for a little bit before going back to Japan!

[matt's mom]

[cousinIT]

[Kristie]

2 each Onions
2 each Green peppers
12 oz Sugar bustes spaghetti
2 cans Rotel Tomatoes
2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
2 4 oz Pimentos, chopped
1 lb Velveta, cubed
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 4 oz cans Canned Mushrooms

Preparation
Cook chicken, keep broth, debone chicken when cool.
Cook onion, celery and green peper in broth in saucepan until tender. Add spaghetti. Cool until tender and drain.
Add chicken, tomatoes, soups, pimentos, mushrooms and velveeta cheese; mix well. When velveeta is melted place in casserole dish, top with shredded cheese.
Cook at 350 for 30 minutes

[KYmom]

That sounds good.. I think I will try that.

Maybe we need a sailors favorite's recipe section.

[Lynette]

very cool idea!.....my son is more than 1/2 way through deployment and sent an e-mail saying how the guys were all talking about all their favorite foods from home......made him very hungry!

[cousinIT]

I wanna go home :bigemo54:

[KYmom]

I wanna go home :bigemo54:


ah,,,,, and I know your Mommy wants you to come home too !! !

We Mommy's miss all of our Sailors very very much.....

[Kristie]

Well....I am just waiting on the call so that I can buy all the stuff to make that recipe....!!!!

[cousinIT]

well, Mom, you know the Navy and how they're on their own time...I promise I'll let you know when I do!!!!

[Kristie]

lol....with 2 of you in the Navy....I am used to the "hurry up and wait"....lolol

[cousinIT]

So, I got bad news...I'm going to the GW earlier than expected so I can't go home now

:bigemo54:

[denmom]

Jen i'm sorry to hear this I thought about you yesturday when they said on the news out here that the GW was ready to go.

Will you have any time off at all? I live in La Mesa and if you want to get together for lunch or anything I can see what I can do.

I know i'm not your mom but I have plenty of mom hugs to share.

Just PM me and let me know.

[NavyMomx2]

That really bites Jen - I'm sorry you won't be able to spend any time with your folks - but one the bright side - when you get back to Japan you can finally met up with your future husband... baahhhaaaahhhaaa

Your wicked future-mother-in-law.

[Kristie]

Yep....that news just sucked big time......but we will just have to wait till Christmas....

Vera that is so sweet of you.....if you do get to see her....give her a really big hug from me!

Beckie....you are too funny!

[cousinIT]

well, i probably wont be seeing much of anything except for the boat in San Diego...the GW is currently working 7 days a week until about 6-7 pm. I'm definitley not looking forward to that.

[KYmom]

Hopefuly the time will pass quickly.

[denmom]

They just said on the local news that the Kittyhawk will be here soon.
I may just have to come down that way and see it pull it.
Especially seeing as I couldn't be here when my daughter pulled in on the Nimitz back in June. It would be cool to see seeing as my bestfriends husband from when I was in the navy used to be on the Kittyhawk.

[KYmom]

I think you need to go watch and welcome Jennifer in.....
and give her hugs from all her Navy Moms.

[NavyMomx2]

If you can Vera that would be so awesome and if you get the chance to see Ms. Jennifer, please give her a big hug from me.

[denmom]

I will do the best I can. Kristie if you would like me to do this please PM so I can get the details from you that I will need.

[Kristie]

Vera....it would be wonderful if you would do that so that she will have a hug from all of us.....trying not to cry here....

Jennifer will have to be the one to tell you what you will need. I know that when Brandon came home from he had to give them our names so that we were on the list at the entrance gate.

I will send Jennifer an email and get her to contact you when she finds out what you guys will need to do.....

You are wonderful!

[denmom]

I am so freaking bumbed out right now. I didn't realize that the Kittyhawk was pulling in today. I'm going to PM Jennifer and I hope we can do lunch or something while she is here.

Kristie I wasn't sure if you had the stuff from the ombudsman or not but it doesn't matter now.

Oh well nothing I can do about it but still try and get together with her if she has the time.

[Kristie]

Vera......words cannot express the way I am feeling about how you took my girl in and loved on her over the weekend....Jennifer had a wonderful time and I thank you so much for making her feel at home and welcoming her into your home even though you had never met her before.....I really appreciate you act of love very very much!

[denmom]

It was our pleasure. She is a wonderful young lady.

[KYmom]

He finally arrived home at 16:00 today....

[cousinIT]

I had a wonderful time!!! I really appreciate how y'all went out of your way for me...it was like I was with my own family again =]

[Kristie]

He finally arrived home at 16:00 today....

:woohoo:

Have a wonderful visit....and give him lots of hugs from us....

[mamamack]

My Sailor, Meridith, will be home today, for 11 days! I'll be waiting for her call in the cell phone lot -- getting through security to meet her at the gate is more than I can deal with -- (recent knee replacement surgery) -- not quite up to the walking or the explaining that it's my knee causing the detector to go off! LOL!! WE Are VERY excited!! It even looks like the weather in St.Louis is going to cooperate! Yeah!!

Have fun and enjoy.......

I know what you mean about the detector.... I had a hip replacement last summer (rt) and )lft) one done 14 years ago.... When we went through security last summer they pulled me to the side behind a glass shield, made me - arms up and out and legs spread, shoes off and patted me down from one end to the other..... LOL...... My sailor said I am never allowed to go through with him again.... LOL.... I geuss they thought I was packing a pair of six shooters.... LOL...

[WA/Mom]

Glad to see your Son is home for a few days. Hope all is well.

My boyfriend should be coming home here in a few weeks. I'm just waiting for him to let me know exactly when. He said recently that he should have 2 weeks free when he leaves FL before he has to go on to VA. I'm just hoping he gets back before I have to go home. (Right now I'm in college and only about an hour from his home. Once I go home for the summer, in 20 days, I'll be more than 3 hours from his home. That's not a very quick commute for a visit from him.)

[VaBchMom]

Where in VA is he heading to?

[hisprincess2009]

Um, good question. I can't recall. Sorry. If we get talking about it again soon, I'll ask. We don't typically like talking about where he's going next, but rather what all's going on now. And with everything that's been going on with college and some health issues that I've been having and issues with my family, I'm amazed I can even remember my name half the time.

[VaBchMom]

I hear you about a lot of things going on, trust me! I'm just asking as I'm in VaBeach.....plus, there's a mini-muster planned for mid-May in this area (Norfolk to be exact) and if he's here by then maybe he'd like to join us. Tell him to check out the thread re the mini-muster, okay?

My sailor came in yesterday, and surprised me. He had contacted all my friends and told them not to tell me, and got them to keep me away from the parking lot for a while so that he could pull in without me seeing him. So, I was in my best friend's room when he got here and we headed down to the dorm porch to supposedly meet with her bf. I was kinda confused when she decided to fix my hair. But when I opened the front door and saw him standing there across the parking lot, with a rose, I screamed and took off toward him. It was soooo good seeing him again. I didn't want to let go of him, when we hugged, but the Bible college I attend doesn't approve of physical contact, so I had to. (We did go off campus for a little while, and I was practically glued to him then.:smile:) We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening together, and just about every person we talked to looked at me and smiled, and told me they knew he was coming. *Thanks, people.* lol It was sad when he said he had to leave and go home, cause he had to run to the store for his mom, before they closed. But he said he'd be back early next week. (Today we're both going to lounge around our rooms and sleep and rest, cause we're tired! lol And tomorrow he's going to his home church, cause they haven't seen him since December either. I miss him a lot this morning, but I'll live for a few days. :smile::smile: :laugh::laugh:
I'll post a couple pics in a little bit. I only got one good one of the two of us, and I have a few of the rose he got me. :smile:
