He's HOME!!!!

You read that right! Mark is home again! YAY!! He was out to sea for only six weeks this time...(I know..most of you are saying ONLY six weeks??? but I am used to him being gone for MONTHS remember!)..he was greatly missed...and it is nice to have him around the house again. I am not even kvetching about his side of the bed looking like a tornado hit it with all his crap all over the place...it means he is home...my bedroom DOES vaguely smell of Amene (the chemical in the air on the sub that is used to 'scrub' the air clean) but that too means he is home....

He will be home for the holidays this year which will make them extra special! He will be gone a very very long time next year, so we are treasuring every second we have with him...Thanksgiving is in a little over a week, and we are opening up our home to single sailors in his command. I hate to think of them alone on the Holidays! We'll do the same thing at Christmas as well...and speaking of Christmas, if Thanksgiving is only a week and a half away, that means I am only a week and a half away from getting our TREE!!! YES!!! For those of you who don't already know, I am NUTS..INSANE...IN LOVE WITH Christmas! I collect snowmen..and have at last count, over 200! They all go up around the house...and my tree will be up..and the cookies will be made..and the season begins!! And best of all, my honey will be home! :)

Hugs to all,
Jaye
