RYAN ARRIVES!!!!

The love of my life is home!! These pictures were taken on the beach of a state park which overlooks the pier where the subs enter to go back to the base.  I met up with some of the other USS Wyoming officers' wives to watch our husbands return :) The whole experience was overwhelming. It gave me chills to see this huge submarine surfacing, knowing Ryan was on it. I felt so proud of Ryan and of our country. What an amazing, powerful experience!


US Coast Guard securing the area


US Coast Guard getting ready to run off a fishing boat that entered the pier (notice the man with the machine gun on the front of the boat). They mean business!!


The sub has surfaced at this point but is still pretty far away. You can see the two big escort boats on either side of the sub and the cross of the sub in the middle.


Getting closer!!



And closer!!


These pictures were taken on my cell phone so they aren't that great. This was when the sub was almost right in front of us. It looks farther away in the picture than it really was. Can you believe Ryan was on the sub at that moment?! How crazy!!


Here is the USS Wyoming's symbol
