Cathy, I am so glad. Jake is very good with that kind of stuff and knows all too well what it's like to be the new guy. So he likes to make others feel at home too. Jake said he had a great time at the party, but wishes they didn't have to work the next day! The party was early due to their work up schedule this year. Sometimes I wish the parties we go to during the holidays were schedule in November or January too though. December is just so hectic. Jake will not be home either for Thanksgiving. I will talk to both boys tomorrow whether they like or not!!!LOL Have a great holiday yourself. We are headed to my husband's aunt in NY and then onto Rhode Island to visit my family. Busy, crazy weekend! It's all good though.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! My son won't be home but we'll do the "pass the phone" tomorrow afternoon!

Marianne,
Chris said to let you know that Jake has been fantastic and a wonderful help! They had a Xmas Party last week (seems kinda soon, but) and they hung out and he said he's a really great guy. He also has enjoyed the time in the shop. Telll Jake I said thanks for making Chris feel at home!!!

nics, lucky you! I love it out in SD and will be visiting very often with 2 sailors out there.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Enjoy your sailors if you are fortunate enough to have them home and to those of us who don't hopefully we can have a good thanksgiving conversation with our sailors on the phone! Happy eating, but don't indulge too much. I went to the gym this AM (entirely TOO early I might add) and one of the trainers there told us that the average weight gain over Thanksgiving weekend is 5 to 15 lbs!!!!!!!! That is hard to believe, but then again the food is awesome and there is a lot of it! I did an extra 15 mins. on the elliptical after that comment!

Thanks ladies :)
I live in California and I hear cv will be moving to San Diego so can't wait to take a glimpse of the ship :)

navywife, you are right about touring the ship until they get to Norfolk.
nics, Sea trials are actually a trial run before deployments. There are usually a few and they are anywhere in length from a few days to weeks. The rest we can't give because we can't discuss dates here. You will have to ask you sailor those questions. He will know soon enough if he doesn't already!

I was told there isnt a tour or visiting the ship until they are at Norfolk. And we see the ship when i drop him off through the alley :) So i guess we kind of cheat....but if you take a drive along the piers in norfolk youll see the size..its breathtaking makes me proud to be part of such an amazing thing.
