Coming to an end..

Doorbell rings and what was at the door? Oh just our soldiers trunk with his belongings in it! That only means ONE thing...SOMEONES COMING HOME!!!!!!!!  When we opened the trunk Dylan found this blanket that his dad had been using in Kuwait. The first thing he did was smell it! "It smells like my daddyyyy!" 

Waiting for a call... Because of security and safety reasons they don't tell the soldiers the flights, times, and dates of their arrival. The way the army wives find out is through the FRG or 24-72 hours before arrival we get a phone call from a soldier on Rear D. Of COURSE I had my phone on me every second and would look at it every second, the ONE minute I put it down to run out to my car I missed the call from a Sergeant....go figure. I listened to the voicemail which told me the ceremony date and time! Oh yeah this was the night before the arrival annnnd I cried!

People always asked me... "Are you ready for your soldier to come home?" hmm let me think about that! YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the time he left till the day before I was cleaning, buying all his favorite foods, drinks, and some presents for when it was time for him to be home!
