OK, one more post for the night... I have 4 whole followers...
I would love to have more women interacting with me...
I am looking for:
* Women
* Moms
* Military Family (I am a mom of a soldier, but I want Military friends if that makes sense) i want to support my son and any future wife when that happens by at least understanding and having some great friends!
* open minded people, I am not into being lectured, nor will I ever lecture when my opinion differs from anyone
I have tried to search for blogs but Im not figuring this out very well....
Cari
Mom to 4, married (I guess when he feels like it that is) for 15 years

Future Spouses...
My son does not have a girlfriend and is not at a point in his life that he is ready for one...
but I just pray daily that he finds someone that is understanding, supportive and strong enough to handle this life he has chosen.
Reading some military wives/moms blogs I have met some amazing women and I pray that he is lucky enough to find one of these women!
As much as I miss my son, I am excited for him to get settled in his new life and to allow god to place a great lady in his life that will support him and allow him to love her. This army life is harder than I ever imagined on families. I guess I never had reason before to look into it much, but now I have met some amazing women and wow, the sacrafice that the women go through also is a tremendous undertaking!
Im excited for Zach, excited for the life he has, and am ready to support him (and her and my grandchildren) when he finds the right woman... just praying he finds one of the awesome ones like I have "met" on here! :)

2 days...
Ok, I know I am being whiney mom, I know I need to cut the cord...
But I gave birth to my son 19 3/4 year ago and in all that time, I talked to my son every day of his life... He has been in Bootcamp for 2 days now and I just feel empty. I have been writing and journaling, but I like seriously just keep looking at my phone waiting for it to ring or a text to go off!
I know he is safe. I know he is being pushed. I know he is doing something so totally amazing! I know that he is making lifelong friends, I know hes hating things and I can picture his smile and how he is loving things.
But selfishly I am missing my baby boy!

Finally Bootcamp...
Well, yesterday he finally got started in the boot camp process. I am so happy that they are finally out of reception. His best friend from home is with him and in the same unit. I am so happy for them both....
I have it pictured as being like summer camp :) well, except for the yelling and such, but still, I am ready for some fun stories after!!!
Ive heard from Zach everyday (even the ones he wasnt supposed to talk, I still got letters) but now the three week of silence starts... I can do this. Im finally at peace and ready for this to start. Excited for everything that is going to happen. Ready for the packet with his address!! :)
I have read so many army wives blogs. I cannot wait for him to find the woman that god has for him and one that will support zach and be strong enough to be ok while he is away, ect. The women that I read are so strong and organized and family dedicated.... ready for his life part 2!

Proudest Day!
One of the Proudest moments of my life. My son swearing into the Army! He changed instantly before my eyes!
My last Hug before he left for bootcamp!
Saying goodbye to their big bro!
Oh ya, she is missing her brother!!!!
And hes off! Saying goodbye to my little boy and they will return him a man!
Letters...
When sending letters to your soldiers... Do you only tell them the good things? Do you let them know EVERYTHING or just the positive stuff. I am stuck with wanting to keep him informed, but also not wanting to upset him on things... Like is sending him 10 happy things and one sad ok?
I know, weird question...
Remember, most of you are military pros, and I am very very new to this...
As always thank you!
