Do you remember me telling you that Nathan was going to be in Virgina for some Coast Guard training? Well, he has been there since the last week in March and his second class finishes on Wednesday. Because the Coast Guard allows him two travel days to get from Virginia back to Cordova, he basically has a long weekend here starting with this arrival in Seattle at 9:38 p.m!
Our plan is for Naylene and I to go pick him up, and to take advantage of being in the states to do a little shopping : )
On Thursday Nathan will get to reconnect with the Littles, who have missed him terribly, and to spend some time with Naylene. Last time Nathan was home on leave, Naylene was traveling with 4-H for all but two days, so they really didn't get to spend a lot of time together. Thursday night he's taking Sean to "Honk," Poppy's musical that Dylan is playing in the pit band for.
On Friday morning Nathan and Naylene are meeting with Anita, the photographer who took Dylan and Haley's photos! Nathan will not be here for Naylene's senior prom, so they are taking advantage of this very small window of opportunity to have pictures done together in their finery. Naylene's dress is drop-dead gorgeous, and we're praying that Nathan's suit still fits. He bought it when he was a senior, and I'm pretty sure he's bulked up a bit since then : ).
Naylene and I went shopping on Sunday and bought a nice tie for Nathan to wear that will coordinate with her dress, as well as a few other clothing items for their photo shoot. It'll be so nice for them to have these photos during the months that they'll have to endure without seeing each other at all : (
They have pretty much every minute of every day scheduled, culminating in a Canuck's playoff game that they're going to on Saturday night. And then on Sunday morning we'll have to take Nathan back to Seattle so he can head back to Cordova. Back to reality. But we're all so happy that the Coast Guard gave him this free weekend at home. He's going to make the very most of it.
