Brandon's Home!!!

Brandon is finally home from SouthPac! The USS Valley Forge pulled in to San Diego Friday (June 23rd) at 9am but Brandon and I were able to see each other before that. The ship pulled into Seal Beach (about 2 hours north of San Diego) on Monday and ran a shuttle in the evenings for the guys to come home and then they would drive them back to Seal Beach the next morning at 4am. Brandon was able to do this on Monday and Wednesday. Then the ship pulled out of Seal Beach on Thursday and pulled into San Diego on Friday. It was a small homecoming compared to last time but it was very nice still and appropriate for the amount of time they were gone. The homecoming went great. Brandon was about the 1st or 2nd person off after the new fathers. For lunch that day Brandon had his choice of any restaraunt he wanted to go to in San Diego whether it was expensive or not. He chose Taco Bell. It just goes to show how much he missed the little things here. We also went and saw Shrek 2 and he wanted to walk around an electronics store so we went to Fry's Electronics which is a really big electronics store and walked around for a while. Then Brandon wanted to get started on working out already so we went swimming and then we went to Souplantation for dinner. It was a great day! It is so awesome to have him home again!

Here are some pics of the Homecoming!!
