Our family is very happy to have Kelly home with us. He arrived early morning on April 20, just in time to escort me to sub ball the next day. (A good thing to, I really didn't want to go looking for another date! :) The ball was at the Hawaiian Hilton Village, downtown Waikiki. We had a wonderful time with good friends, dancing, and even Elvis impersonators! All the officers off his boat sported Elvis wigs for the enjoyment of all!
The keynote speaker was an admiral from the Australian Navy who is over submarines. Kelly had an opportunity to talk with him and found out that they need Kelly's expertise on their new fire control system that has only been installed on Kelly's boat so far. So it looks like we are most likely going to Australia for at least a year after our time here in Hawaii. We are very excited for the opportunity and Ashley and Mason are all for it since I told them that is where the Wiggles are from! (The picture above is of Kelly, Admiral Chalders (Australian Navy) the Navigator, and Kelly's Captain, Doug Perry.)
It was really a night of fun and enjoyment, but the best thing about it was that Kelly was there with me!

The ball look like a lot of fun and Australia has always been a place I have dream of visiting. My Mom almost went to live there when I was 8 but she could not come up with the $300 dollars they were requiring for the teachers to enter the country, it was tough being an only parent. Glad Kelly is home.
