Mark is home!

Mark is home!! Yippeee!!! He is home now until approx. July, so I am very happy about that. The picture is one of another wife, Erin, and myself as we wait to welcome the guys home. You can see the submarine in the background, as well as the city of Norfolk. So, we begin the most "normal" part of our married life now. He will be studying for his PNEO exam, and if he doesn't pass this he will be forced out of the Navy, so it's important that he does well on it. The test will be in early July. The only time that I have to see the sub between now and then is at the end of May for a return to service party. That should be pretty fun, so I'm not going to dread that. We *hopefully* find out if our baby is a girl or boy on Monday. As long as the baby isn't crossing its legs or something we'll be able to find out!! So, all is good here!! Thank you, Lord!
