I have been gone at sea for a while now, but we pulled in for the holidays and I am looking forward to my family flying to San Diego for Christmas. It won't be "home", but at least we will be together. I will be able to go home for a week or so over New Years to take care of a few things around the house for Jeannette. It has been 15 months since I left now. Feels like forever.
I have been talking to my detailer and it looks like I am going to be relieved in July of 2011. I am excited for this next change because this job is not a whole lot of fun. I don't know where I will go next but at least we will be together again, wherever that happens to be.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
