Heard my sailor's voice today! We're vacationing in upper lower Michigan and were driving around taking in the beautiful fall colors. We were stopped at a station where we had good reception when his call came through. We talked a good 15 minutes. It was wonderful. He said after 2 months under, the air sure smelled fresh. His voice was like music to my ears!

got my text this morning then a phone call. JD is in great spirits. He said he was glad for the emails the last 2 months, that he eventually did get them. Said he was the only one on the boat that knew about the earthquake or the crack in the Washington monument.
Laura, he thinks it's wild that you and I are talking. He says he's know Jake for a few years now, while he was on his last shore duty. Says that he relieves Jake for watch every day, that Jake is his lead petty officer and they are friends. JD said he told him "did you know your mom and my mom are talking on the internet and like exchanging baby pictures and stuff". I thought that was hilarious.
He says it's 8 degress celsius there. He bought a reindeer pelt!! and bought a baby seal purse for Wendy. They are on track for the next port, where Wendy and some of the other wives are flying to visit.
Don't know about the rest of them, but JD was in a great mood and acted like things are going great. Hope all the rest of you hear soon!!

Wendy got an email today. JD is o.k. Said he was worried about her after the hurricane - so that is probably the last time frame they got our emails. He said he got all his birthday cards in August and was proud of them. The wives can pay and send cards that get passed out during the deployment. I read the email. He did sound lonely. He told her to write a long catch up email - that he would get it now.

That is good news. lets all keep praying and our fingers crossed that they will be back in time for the holidays and will make it home!
Hawaii sounds WONDERFUL! That is my dream vacation! Your son should be able to get the Military discount for airfare which will save a bundle!

When the Fast Attack subs return, some guys take leave. The Nukes can't leave until the plant is shut down, but that is a few hours after their return. As for the Holidays, one half of the crew gets to have leave for Christmas week and the other gets leave for New Years week. I know that the guys with wives and families often are given the Christmas week. My son won't take any leave for the Holidays because we are planning on going to Hawaii in January. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he will get back in time to get plane tickets that he and we can afford.
