I got a call from Jan today. He and his GF drove to her family farm in Michigan - a long 10 hour drive, but of course it is good to be in a family environment on a holiday.

So Jan told me about what he was doing just on Nov. 24th. He was at the White House representing the Navy in the Honor Cordon for the State Dinner which President and Mrs. Obama hosted for visiting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India. Did any of you see that beautiful gold dress Michelle Obama was wearing? I saw/heard the speech made there (on TV), but had no idea my boy was somewhere in the background. Jan said hearing Obama speak in person is so awesome and that Michelle Obama is very tall. ...Thanks for letting me spout about my sprout. :-)

I am thankful for so many things and pray during this next year the Lord will be glorified and our country will be blessed and be stronger than it is today. May your Thanksgiving be a wonderful day of renewal and joy. Thanks for being my friend.

I would like to wish all of the Moms here a Blessed Thanksgiving , I truly count this group in my list, long list of things I am thankful for, not only for all the wonderful advice and sometimes council but it makes me feel a little closer to my son knowing you all are here.

Thanks Marty. I have been toying with the idea to buy his flight back to base only, since that is a 'gotta get there on time' trip. But, I think I will wait till he gets here before I buy it and then I will know how much ease or difficulty it was. It's scary... a little, nothing in the grand scheme of things, lol.

Karen I will praying that he gets right on the flight no problem! I hope it works out, Cary will be home in december we already bought his ticket but if it works out for you guys he will definitely be trying it in the future keep us posted.

thanks Moms. Well, when the flights are now at 600. we are going the hop route. We will trust God to see this through. He says that "Mom, I have learned how to kill lots of time and be okay with sitting and doing nothing, so waiting in an airport won't be any different". We will make a list of all the flights and where to go for him, and then when he gets here in Phoenix, we will make the list for going back. I will let you all know how it goes. For $15. it's worth the chance to get here eventually. I am sure the Reagan airport will help him look for direct flights that are not sold out too. If I can still buy a ticket at that moment, seems like he should be able to jump on without too much of an issue. Praying for ease in this. And he said, "Mom, it is an honor to wear my uniform home, so I want to wear it on the plane."... warms my heart.

Karen, looks like most of that discussion was deleted. Here is my reply to someone which give a solid clue about the air hop situation:

"You verified what I had thought would be the case for those air hops my sis told me about - availability and lots of luck. LOL!"
