And Then There Were Four

Our little family is complete again. It's been a long gazillion months apart! We got the call that our soldiers would be home Monday night. Our welcome home ceremony was to take place upon the arrival of the buses between 2300 and 2400 Monday night.

My soldier called to say their plane had landed in St Louis at 7:30. We all went into action like little ants getting things around. Us wives had dresses to put on and hair and make-up to do. The kids continued playing until we were through and got them dressed up and ready to go. We arrived at the location of the ceremony and were too excited to even make fun of other peoples choice of attire. Well kinda.....

I'm pretty sure that not letting myself get excited until that point was a little crazy. I was about to jump out of my skin waiting on the buses to arrive! Then we watched as the soldiers were unloaded from the buses and filed in, searching for the familiar faces of our own soldiers.

More to come including pictures but I just wanted to let everyone know our soldier is home safe and we're soaking in every little bit of it!

Welcome home!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to your entire family. It's such a sacrifice but literally one the people couldn't do without! I haven't seen my little sister since Christmas, and it's tough, but I'm so proud of her - just like I'm sure you're proud of your soldier. :)

Enjoy your time together!
