One year ago today.....

One year ago today, Kyle came home from Iraq. It was one of the best days of my life. He didn't come home until the afternoon but of course, I woke up really early just so I could wait. Kyle called me when he got to March Air Force base and I finally got to head to base, where I waited for 4 hours!! The worst part of the waiting (besides waiting) was this lady kept walking around telling everyone there were on their way to the parade deck. So we would get all excited and then about 20 mins later we would realize that she didn't know what she was talking about. But of course we listened to her every time she said it. When they finally got to the parade deck, and they were dismissed, it was so amazing finally getting to see him. The feeling is indescribable getting to see him after 7 months and holding him and checking all his fingers and toes making sure he was OK. All the waiting and the hard times disappeared as soon as he came home. It was hard, but the end was so worth it. I tried to download some pictures but for some reason they won't work :( I'll keep trying though!
