It’s a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings – one lucky sailor is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one.
Today, for the first time, the happily reunited couple was gay.

The dock landing ship Oak Hill has been gone for nearly three months, training with military allies in Central America.

As the homecoming drew near, the crew and ship’s family readiness group sold $1 raffle tickets for the first kiss. Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta bought 50 - which is actually fewer than many people buy, she said, so she was surprised Monday to find out she’d won.

Her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, was waiting when she crossed the brow.

They kissed. The crowd cheered. And with that, another vestige of the policy that forced gays to serve in secrecy vanished.

I love this so much!

Backwards picture but it’s settling in nicely.

Getting holiday party ready.

Exactly.

Shel Silverstein is perfect. 

Love this.

Had an awesome weekend.  So glad to have friends in from out of town.

Halloween was pretty fun this year.  After a trip to New Orleans, we had a garage party.  I was Black Metal.  Didn’t feel too out of character.  Haha.

We rode motorcycles to pick pumpkins the other weekend.  It was awesome!  I love fall :)
