So we had a little cake for Nick on Sunday. Mom made it and I think the whole point was so we could sing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" since we didn't sing it at dinner the other night :)
Monday morning we had our little photo shoot of Nick before taking off to the recruiter station. Yes, he is joining th Navy and not the NBA....I'm afraid he will never look the part!
Grandma Linda and Nick's mom, Evelyn. Nick was kind of worried about saying goodbye to them...they all did very well hiding the tears!
Here's his goodbye party. We were planning to say goodbye to Nick and then go eat lunch but we ended up having a lot more time, so after saying goodbye one time, Nick's mom and grandma left, then we went to Chick-fil-a with Kerriann, Mom and the girls, then we waited some more, then Mom and Kerri left, and then I finally left at about 2:30. Nick left around 3:00. It was hard but now I can start counting down the days until I see him again!!

Wow - congrats! But not congrats on the boot camp part, that is the worst. Good luck! How long is boot camp w/the Navy? Hopefully short! Any chance you guys will be stationed in Jacksonville or are you hoping for somewhere new?
Hang in there Molly, I know it's lonely right now, but you'll get through it!! I did it when Mitch left for Basic and when he was deployed. If you need anything, even just to talk, you can always get a hold of me!! I'm here for you and we are thinking of you in our prayers!
I seriously can't believe that I forgot to call you this morning. I'm sorry Molls. I'm glad you got to spend more time with Nick. I know he'll look back at all of you and be so thankful y'all love him enough to be there. Us retards, need a kick in the but for not making more of an effort. =0) Love you and can't wait to see you this weekend. Tell Nick "ahoy mate"! ha ha!!
Yay! I'm excited for both of you, and grateful that Nick wants to do this! As much as I want to keep you nestled in J-ville, just for my own selfish reasons, the Navy will love both of you!
