Lake Erie, Arriving!

Seems like a long time ago we were informed that David was going to command USS LAKE ERIE, March 2009 to be exact.  No complaints about the wait - we have had the good fortune to sit it out in Hawaii and as you know have been having the time of our lives!  As such, we got to celebrate the day yesterday with amazing friends that we wouldn't have if we had just shown up this month.  

Well worth the wait...it was a beautiful day, a beautiful setting, and celebrated, of course, with the beautiful people!


















Well placed in front of the Oklahoma State flag!












































One can only maintain "church" behavior for so long!




We were showered with aloha!


The whole day made me reminisce about our first command long, long ago.  That day we celebrated with our families, the Newmans and the Chapmans.  You were all missed this time around but not far from our thoughts.  


(Scott, David and I might have had a little giggle remembering "From Clam to Thunder")


Thanks to all for the unconditional love and support you always show us.  We are blessed.  Go Navy!
