WELL, this is the big news I was talking about!!!! I have just returned from 5 days to NEW YORK CITY as the SPOKESPERSON for Navy4Moms.Com!!!! Yes, little ole me, from ALL those thousands of ladies was tapped to be the spokesperson of a group of Navy Moms who log on everyday and chat about our SAILOR SONS!!! We are a support website that help moms whose sons have left to join the Navy and protect our wonderful USA!!! Lots of joys as well as tears filter through the thousands of pages of women all over the USA. We are well over 3000 members now. It was the Administrator of NAVY4MOMS.COM that wanted to advertise for even MORE moms to come aboard and join us!!! SO, what better way than to to take 13 women to THE TODAY SHOW with a big banner and PATPAT to direct attention to our website. While standing there waiting for the TODAY SHOW to start we added 2 more moms! UNREAL!!!! We had 13 Navy moms that were chosen to go to New York City (off the website) to go on the TODAY SHOW to plug Navy4Moms.com!!!! Of course, my CLAIM TO FAME is none other than PATPAT THE BEAR! HE is the reason I was chosen! HAHAHA! Yep, that pesty little bear (as Katie calls him) was my TICKET to NYC!!!! Since I am travel retarded, I had to have a traveling companion (of course!) . KATIE got the honor of being my buddy in NYC!!!! We tried and TRIED to figure out how Nat could go but it just didn't work out this time (Besides she's going in November with Brad and David!). My ticket there and back was paid for as well as our hotel. After the Navy Moms stuff was over, Katie and I moved to the MANSFIELD HOTEL down the street for the remainder of the time (we got home Sunday night at midnight). Anyway, I had to keep it TOP SECRET until it was announced (2 days prior) on the website. When it hit the website, all the NAVY MOMS went bonkers! What an exciting time!!!! I'm going to be adding pictures and stories from our adventure to NEW YORK!!!! I will be adding short video clips during the next few days as well!...I am starting off with leaving from Birmingham last Wednesday (July 30) and arriving at the ROOSEVELT HOTEL and meeting our first Navy Mom: Sue, followed by Brenda and Diane . The others kept arriving the rest of the afternoon. 6 were from all over the US and 7 from the New York area . It was an INCREDIBLE time and , yes, we did get on the TODAY SHOW!....Here we are after first meeting, some of us. I'll post pix from the big Navy Moms Dinner tomorrow!
