Well, he's home!! It was a long 10 months--but we made it! I travelled to CA on 9/26, and the Main Body of NMCB 24 arrived in the US on 9/29!! I really wasn't sure what to expect with this whole "homecoming" thing. I was nervous, anxious, emotional, excited, any emotion you can think--I was it!! The days leading up to the 29th I cried over EVERYTHING! Every time we talked about the guys coming home, and them seeing their kids, etc--I CRIED! So I knew for sure that when I saw him I was just going to lose it. . .we saw the buses pull up and I teared up, and the doors opened and again the lump in my throat, and when I finally spotted him from across the parking lot (please remember the guys are all in the same outfit!)--a sudden calm just sort of came over me. It was like my wedding--I was a nervous wreck leading up to it, fighting back tears until those doors opened and I saw him and literally RAN down the aisle dragging both of my fathers behind me!!!
THE SWEETEST 4 WORDS I'D HEARD IN A WHILE!!!!!
I have to say--Jason and I sort of picked right back up where we left off for the most part! We stayed out in CA for almost a week after he arrived and just enjoyed hanging out, catching up on shows, happy hour, a little site seeing, and I'd love to say eating--but for the most part the food we ate was VERY disappointing!!
After enjoying our week in CA it was time to head home and have Jason's real homecoming and reunite him with the boys. . .MORE ON THAT LATER!! :)
