Yippee, my Hubby is back home! After having Steve gone for the past 6 weeks, (except for a quick 2 day visit over Mothers Day), it is GREAT to have him back. During the last 6 weeks Steve had been training in Denver for his new job with Office Depot. We are really excited for him to start with this new company and hope that it will give him and our family more opportunity for growth.
Friday night the kids and I went to the airport to pick up Dad and it was kind of funny because we went into the airport to surprise him but we kept standing there waiting and he never came out. Luckily I had looked over towards the door and I see Steve walking out of the airport so I tell the boys and they both start yelling, Dad(which works because I am sure he was the only Dad in the airport). When we caught up to him there were lots of hugs and kisses! That night we went to dinner and then headed home.
Saturday came and after getting a few chores done we headed out for some Family Fun. When we asked the boys what they wanted to do the response was…………..Go to the Apple Store. Sweet for us cheep family fun, throw in the fountain at the Gateway and wooohoooo we are set for some fun!
Having Steve gone for 6 weeks really gave me a greater appreciation for all of the spouses of our military men and women. I am so grateful for the sacrifice that they make for me and my family everyday. The past 6 weeks definitely had its Great, Good, Sad, Bad, Crazy, Sick and Lonely Days but we all made it through and I am sure that this little sacrifice will have been worth whatever the future holds for us.
Glad you are Back Hubby!!!
That's a long time to be parenting without back up. I'm glad you survived, and thrilled for you that it's over!
