Glenn had duty on Monday so I went after my classes to have dinner and hang out with him. I got to see my calendar looking all pretty in the ready room too!
Then I made Glenn have a photo shoot at every locale on the boat. He was such a good sport.
Glenn's call sign is now SLAP (Sweats like a pig). What can I say? He's a sweaty guy. Here's his helmet in the room where they store all their flight gear, whatever that is called? PR shop? I forget.
I made my last trip on Tuesday night to drop Glenn off at the boat. He didn't have to be on board until 1 am so we had dinner at home and then drove down to Yokosuka (about an hour away) and saw Angels & Demons and then I said good-bye, again. It was really nice to have him home for a few days, but saying good-bye again is always hard. So Stella and I are getting back in to the groove of just the two of us. At least she is eating this time. Last time when Glenn left she didn't eat for a few days. If Stella gets this worked up, I can't imagine going through deployments with children.
At least I know when I will see Glenn next (hopefully, knock on wood) and it's not too far away. I understand now what people mean about the deployment groove. Time to get going I suppose.

Kelly, I love the pictures. It's nice to hear that you and Glenn (or should I say, you and SLAP? ^.~ ) had such a lovely time together.
So cool! Shawn's call sign is Slappy. He broke the basket his first time tanking at night and took it up the intake so somehow he got Slappy as his official call sign. Personally I liked Dirk better...more manly I guess. Hang in there girl! I miss you tons and have been thinking of you guys!
