Here are pictures of the USS SHOUP and of my new son-in-law Eric. Jenny is so happy and it so shows. James says that the USS SHOUP is not as long as the Kincaid was but that it is close. From the pictures here it doesn't look anywhere near as big as the Kincaid but maybe the ship is just sitting in the water differently too? They said that Eric's back is in one of the pictures of the guys pulling ropes with the guns but I am not sure which one it is. Jenny got a sailor hat to wear and just glows. They are doing good and out shopping to get a few more things for their apt. I think the TV is big on the list but they have been to Ikea too.
James and Eric and Jenny are planning on a dinner out tonight. Guess the trip is winding down so not sure how many more pictures I will receive but hopefully a few more of the apt (clean) and organized with furniture (please).
James will be on his way down to Sacramento tomorrow to visit with his mom, brother and sister-in-law and Joyce. He is happy to get to see everyone even if it is only for a short period of time.
Just on the side note to Jenny, hope all your plans go wonderfully and the two of you enjoy your new married life. Keep us updated from time to time on things. We love you and I still miss you. Happiness always!
