On August 11th I was fortunate enough to take photos of the homecoming of the USS Vella Gulf for a friend. This was her husband's last command at sea and I thought they might enjoy having some photos.
It felt so odd. Was it only a year ago that I was standing on the pier waiting for the same ship and my own hubby's return? It was so strange!
The funny thing was I did see a few people that I knew when my sweetie was on board and even saw the old chaplain. He was there with the current chaplain's wife. How awesome was that?

| The crowd goes wild at this sight. |

| Why does it seem to take so long? |

| I think I was spotted. |
 |
| Almost on terra firma! |
 |
| First embrace. |

| Talking with the media. Can't avoid it. |
 |
| A familiar face. The former chaps! |
 |
| Surprise proposal. So sweet! |
 |
| Adorable couple. |
 |
| A running joke and photo that's a tradition of sorts. |
 |
| The last time that this may happen again. |
 |
| Happy family. |
