♥ My Soldier is home ♥

Rob made it in on Saturday. I woke up that morning, and was doing the rest of my chores that I put off on Friday. I was afraid that if I didn't leave myself some stuff to do, that come Saturday I would be pulling my hair out waiting for 5pm to finally get here. Well he called at 10:30 to tell me that he got on an earlier flight and would be in at 3. Not to much earlier, but totally threw a wrench in my plans. Not a bad wrench, just I had to start hustling.

The boys and I got the airport around 1, and went to the ticket counter of the airline he was flying on and got a pass to go through security and wait on him. The boys were on cloud nine. After some playing in the airport play area, and drinking some Starbucks, it was time to go the gate and wait on his plane. When the plane pulled up to the terminal, we stood back out the way and was watching everyone get off the plane. Of course he was nearly the last person to come off the plane.

When we seen it, it was so surreal. The boys immediately latched onto him. Then it was my turn to hug him. It was unbelievable. I kept whispering "I can't believe you're really here."

The passengers that were waiting to board the plane were just starring at us. Most of the people had seen the shirts I had made, and were asking the boys if their dad was coming home, of course they were like yes. It was amazing walking through the airport while waiting on him, we had so many people telling us to thank him, and enjoy our time with him.

Austin, our youngest son, just kept smiling and giggling at Rob. Before Rob left, Austin was quite the mommies boy, but now, not any more, he isn't letting Rob out of his sight. I think its awesome!

We have been enjoying our time together, and he is really enjoying being home. Not sure of everything we are going to do while he is home, but it won't be any wasted time!

In earlier posts, I had mentioned that I was worried it would be awkward with him being home, but honestly it hasn't been, its like he never left. Even though we have a few weeks, I am already dreading when the time comes for him to have to go back. It is defiantly going to be more trying times. But we shall get through it, just like we have up until now.
