My Time Has Come...!!!


"Ding! Ding! Hospital Corpsman Second Class Surface Warfare Kristilynn DeJager departing" that is what i heard and this is what i saw as i was bonged off the ship today! it was definitely bittersweet. I have been ready to move on for a couple of months now, but i will miss so many things. I saw many places and met so many people, from all over the world! It was amazing. I learned much too. The boat leaves tomorrow for a seven month deployment and i wish them all well. I pray that they stay out of harms way and make it back to the arms of their loved ones. Farewell Vella Gulf!!

THE SUPER SEXY G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S SHOES!!


Well, i am sitting here, on the ship (it's a duty day) watching rhythmic gymnastics and cleaning out my files on the computer. Just 5 days left on the ship!! Anyways, i was going through the pictures i have hidden away on here and i found the picture of the super sexy shoes!! My dear friend, Kelly and I went shopping for shoes, for Carrie's wedding. i am sure Carrie is super happy we did NOT pick these, even with all their glam.

A Baby!!


Alexandra McCray was born 15 Aug to Meredith and James! She's so beautiful! She has cute chubby cheeks and beautiful red hair! Please keep her in your prayers as she has a few hills to climb in the near future. She's arleady had a catheter placed in her heart to open a valve and it was successful! Pray that this is all she needs, but that the doctors make the right decisions to keep her healthy and strong!

oooh..an award..



So, after 3 years on the ship, i finally got an award. It's bittersweet, i suppose. But i got a NAM (Navy Acheivement Medal) for my participation in our MRI (medical readiness inspection). So, yep, there I am with CAPT Genung, the Commanding Officer of the VELLA GULF.
