Because........Mike is COMING HOME before Christmas!!!!
By order of ye 'ol US Navy, the USS Eisenhower will be returning to Norfolk mid December, before the Christmas holiday.....no exact date yet (couldn't really share it if I had it anyhow....)
There are other minor details that accompany the news, like the carrier will have its flight deck resurfaced while its home, and that the carrier will go out again sometime this Spring to finish out the remainder of the original deployment. For us, that is easy news to swallow though, because we already have written orders for May! So if affected, it won't be by much!
You wouldn't believe how blown away I was today by the FABULOUS news!
I literally had to pick my chin up off the floor and shake myself around a bit to fully take in the NEWS!
Of course my first response was if it was a joke...but its not! They are coming home!! Three months earlier than planned. When does that EVER happen?? Well, today it did!
So after passing what we thought was the half way mark, we are now counting down the final month!
WEIRD.......Very weird!!!
Okay, so now that my blood pressure is back to normal, I'm going to go have a big glass of wine and toast with Abby and Maddy and their apple juice! Thanksgiving just got a bit more meaningful for us this year.
Five months down......ONE to go!!!!
Wonderful news! It's an early Thanks-giving!
