Come and knock on our door

Zac and I have a roommate for a little while! Randy Stack is going to be staying with us until he has to transfer off of the boat in May/June-ish. Saturday morning, when I woke up and went in to the bathroom, this is what I saw...

Immediately, the theme song to "Three's Company" popped into my head, and has been there ever since.

Our Saturday was really uneventful, thanks to the overcast weather and off and on again showers all day long. Boo! We went to the NEX/Commissary and later the guys made steak kabobs on the grill. Mmm. 

Today Zac was on duty, so Randy and I went up to the boat, and I got my first EVER tour of the USS Louisville! :) I was so excited to be able to see the boat and to have Zac show me all of the separate parts of the place he spends so much of his time. Every single inch of the space on that boat is utilized. It is pretty amazing, to say the least. Since Zac and I have been married, the boat has been in the shipyard in NH - under tight lock and key. Civilians, like myself, are not allowed to go on to the boats in NH. Now that the boat is here at Pearl, civilians may tour the boat if accompanied by a crew member. Being the science-and-engineering-challenged person that I am, I didn't retain much of the information that Zac shared with me, but maybe after a few more tours, I will get more of the idea. Ha - or maybe not.

This afternoon Randy and I met the rest of the Louisville ward room crew in Waikiki for a Hail and Farewell lunch to welcome our two new officers, and to say goodbye to our Navigator and his wife. We are going to miss Deryk and Genevieve tremendously, and we wish them the best of luck in Washington state. And, welcome to the Simsic and Tedrick (sp?) families!

When I got home this evening, there was a beautiful sunset. So, here is your parting shot (from our lanai) for tonight...

I still don't think Hawaiian sunsets are as breathtaking as those of the Texas Panhandle!

Aloha,
