Grant has once again left on deployment. Right before he left we took the kids onto the ship to show them (well Ben) Grant's room once again.
Ben was ready to stay. He had it all planned out where everyone could sleep. Um - I don't think so buddy!
The flight deck
This was taken the morning Grant was leaving. We drove him down to the ship by 7:00 a.m., said our goodbyes and the kids and I stuck around the pier to wave goodbye to the ship. Well shortly after Grant boarded we got the phone call from him that a typhoon was going to delay them for a few days. When Grant came home that night it felt like he had been gone for three months because my mindset was already switched to him being gone! It was so strange!
