Coming home!

Like I mentioned in my previous post, Mike came home on Tuesday. After a grueling 14 hour flight to DC, customs/immigration, and then another hour flight to RDU, he finally was home!

Mike's mom volunteers at the USO and was able to escort me through security to the gate so I was there when Mike got off the plane. We also had a few friends waiting for him at the Meet & Greet as well.

I have seen stories and movies of when a loved one returns from war and all the emotions that comes with that. I finally was able to partake in that homecoming and be "that" wife! And let me say, it was fun! I can't say that I heard the music playing in the background or that time stood still but it was a sweet time!

We have had a good week of relaxing, eating at favorite places, hanging out with friends, going to the lake, and just being together and being home. It was a long time apart but we are sure glad to be together again!

We are so thankful for our friends and family who supported us and encouraged us through it all and know it was an easier 7 months because of them!

Finally back!

Finally back for a few things...

The BLOG! It's been a while since I have posted...7 months actually.

The husband! He was overseas working and supporting the military for those 7 months and is finally back! We had a fun reunion week after meeting at the airport in Tuesday. (another blog post to come on that!)

The house sell/hunting! Now that the husband is back, we are really trying to push our current house in NC to sell so we can move to the DC area permanently.
