Home Finally!

I have a minute to get on the computer because my dear-sweet-amazing husband is cooking me breakfast. I just wanted to give my blog readers a special preview of how last Friday went for me before I post all the pictures on Facebook!

Exactly a year ago today, my husband deployed to Afghanistan. 

He's now home safe and sound!

 Cullen, my friend's husband was so kind and took pictures for us.

 Here I am waiting for the buses with Dylan's Family. (Dylan is probably Michael's best marine friend... this is their second deployment they completed together.)

 First bus!!! Dylan's son is the one in the plaid coat. :)

 It took a while to find him in the crowd. He actually ended up finding us. :)

We're having a wonderful weekend together.

A Happy Homecoming...

Yesterday I got to spend a large part of the day with my friend Amanda and little Mason for their marine's homecoming. I happily accepted when she asked if I could take pictures for them. I'm a little embarrassed to say that small part of me was worried about what type of emotions would come up when my currently overly-emotional self watched someone else's marine come home, but I shouldn't have been. I woke up excited to head to base! I am so happy for them. I literally couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day.

Getting to witness a family being reunited after a yearlong deployment isn't something you'll want to miss if you ever have the opportunity. 

 

And this little guy was only a few months old when his his daddy left:

It just melts my heart to know that he has his daddy back now!
