Daddy's Corner


Daddy’s Corner!

Hello everyone.  Let me start by saying how wonderful it is to be home with my Beautiful Wife!  I was amazed at how far along she is looking and am getting really, really excited to meet my Daughter.  It has been a long deployment that has been about as eventful as watching the grass grow.  The only thing that seemed to keep me sane the entire trip was hearing from Misty daily.  She kept me up to date about Raelin kicking and all the organization of the baby’s room that she has been doing. 

Hearing from her was the best part of my day and will continue to be the best part of my day as we are not done with our deployment on the worst running polished turd of a Cutter I have ever been on.  Everything that could be wrong on the borrowed Cutter (the Escanaba of all Cutters) has gone wrong and I guarantee the Escanaba Crew is not going be grateful of all the hard work we put into it. 

We are almost done with the deployment though.  We are on Port Call right now in home port so I am able to sleep in my own bed, but we are working all days we are here, then we get back underway.  We spend a few more weeks underway and deliver the Escanaba back to her original crew in Boston and I will be home with my wife for the rest of the summer and the rest of the pregnancy.  I can’t say it enough that I am really, really excited to finally meet my Daughter, Raelin.
