OMG ! ! ! He's gonna be here in less than 6 hours.

He just called from Baltimore, and said half the team was offered to come home tonight instead of having an overnight layover ! ! ! He told them " put me on that plane, I'm ready to see my family."

I am officially freaking the hell out. Everything on the list is done with the exception of shaving, and that will be done here in a little bit.

I am so elated, and can't believe he will be home so soon. I just can't wait to see him again. Caysen yelled when I told him, and couldn't contain himself.

It's practically over. As soon as I am back in his arms, it will all be a distant memory. . .

Thank you all so very much for all of your support, prayers, well wishes, and love that y'all have given me over the last few months ! ! !

I may not be around for a couple of days, but I'll update as soon as I can with pictures.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::001_wub::001_tt1::001_tt1:

Tiff that is GREAT!! So happy for you!

Well guys, by now they are happily reunited. I can't wait to hear how he reacted when he saw her. I am just so happy for her that they are finally together again.

Homecoming was amazing. He was walking towards the right side of the exit with a group of other guys. We were standing to the left, and I walked up closer to them, he looked right at me, and looked away. I stomped my feet, and he did a double take, and his mouth dropped. He ran to me, scooped me in his arms, and said " you look so amazing ". It was purely magical. Unfortunately, the airport was dimly lit, and none of the pictures came out worth a damn.

We embraced for what seemed like forever, and then Caysen moved in for his moment. It was precious, but I didn't cry. The higher ups showed up, and checked in their weapons and we headed home. Once we were in the truck, Caysen said the most tear jerking thing, he said " you know what Dad, I never knew it could feel so good to see someone." I almost cried again, but I felt so full of joy that I couldn't cry.

We got home unloaded everything. He played with the dog, then it was "us" time. It was absolutely amazing. We literally fell right back into place with everything. It all felt amazing, emotionally and physically. He has bulked up, but I love it. He was so happy with my results, and he couldn't believe how I looked.

He had to report in this afternoon at 1pm to turn in the issued gear, and hopefully he won't be gone long. We're cooking out on the grill tonight, and going to have a great time. He is so happy to finally be home. Life is somewhat back to normal. I never thought I would happy to see uniforms laying around again. But, it's such a huge relief.

Felt really emotional reading all that Tiff! It brought back memories from when my hubby returned from the first Gulf War. Lots of love to you all xxx

I am smiling from ear to ear. It is so cool that you have shared this real life perfect story. It's GREAT that your family is together again. I am so happy for you Tiff.

Thanks for letting us all share in your joy, Tiff. It is so wonderful. Please thank him for his service to our country. And THANK YOU for all the sacrifices that YOU make , because YOU are serving our country too as his wife!

WOW...... I have some cathcing up to do!! I had a virus on my computer, so I hadn't been able to get on line but once I think....

I am sooooooooo Happy for you and your family!! It was good to hear how things just "fell" into place, I had no doubt that they would, but I'm sure your nerves didn't!!

I bet the look on his face was priceless when he saw you!!

So glad to hear your waiting is over and your family re united! ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!!!
