Bellah and I were walking around outside when the 5 buses pulled up to the gym. All the soldiers lined up on the other side of the street in formation and then they had them run into the gym, single file - it was kinda cheesy, but very energetic! It was like a rock concert with all the screaming! Too funny! There was even some a smoke machine!! LOL!
Bellah and I went into the gym - the General said a few words and then released the soldiers to their families! David was so jet lagged - but it was sooo wonderful to see him!!! <3
Bellah did sooooo well - she went to David almost immediately. On the way out she let him carry her. Then he went to get two of his three bags and met Bellah and me back at the car. But when he went back for the third bag, Bellah got so upset! She was like: "Daddy, where'd daddy go...". She was sooo upset! It was too funny.
Then, I went to drive up closer to where the bags were so that David wouldn't have to walk so far and Bellah freaked out! She was like: "No, mommy - daddy! No, daddy!!" She thought I was leaving him! LOL But we got him and headed back down to Georgetown. :o) It was sooooo great!!
Here we are, back home. My sexy soldier man and all his crap-o-lah!!
We got home around 7pm-ish - it was good to be home! Bellah enjoyed having daddy home! She kept staring at him in the car. It was so funny!
Bellah thought that everything he did was hilarious! I forget what he was doing to make her giggle, but she was instantly addicted to daddy!
David has been home for 3 days now and it's been fantastic!!! :o) I've been working on Thursday and Friday to try and give David time to adjust and unpackand settle in. It's been hard because I just want to hang out with him all the time - but he needs to get settled in. It's been nice to have him here - Bellah hasn't started favoring him yet, but the've been having fun together.
David is still adjusting to life back in the states: he hasn't been talking in his sleep and I haven't woken up to him in some wierd military position in the middle of the nights - so, so far so good! :o) He goes back to work next week and should start the first half of his block in a month or so.
We are so grateful that this 15 month deployment is finally over!! It has been a huge blessing for us to have the opportunity to grow as individuals in the gospel, especially for me, though it sucked big time to be a single mom. I'm so excited to finally be able to get on with the rest of our lives. Thanks for all the support and prayers you guys have given to us. We appreciate the love that we've been given and look forward to the rest of our journey here on Earth! :o)
Love,
DB, JB & BB - together again! :o)
