HOMECOMING!!!

It happened on one great PERFECT day! Exactly 365 days from the tearfilled day we said goodbye at the airport!

We made sure that the house was spotless and welcomeing for a GREAT Soldier, Father and Husband!


The kids had NO idea that Dad was coming home. They went to school and I was able to pick Cameron up in the morning! So EXCITING but very nervous as I waited through the HOMECOMING Ceremony for the moment we would be together again! 
My Friend Lorrie Lewis, who saved me from the insanity of  being a FRG Leader for the Company! (Lorrie, Ammon, Miranda)
Advon Soldiers of the 87th CSSB HHC!
Cameron is somewhere in the middle... they all look alike when they are in uniform!
This moment seemed to last forever! Ammon wasn't totally sure what what going on! 
It seemed that Cameron's "Operation Flower Countdown" was NOT finished! After we had arrived home he had told me he had ONE last thing.... 

I love that Man of Mine!
Towards the afternoon Cameron, Ammon and I headed to get Ben and Emily from school. We were able to SURPRISE them with Dad! I hadn't cried that whole day until I saw their tears of joy from seeing their Dad for the first time since R&R over 7 months ago! There are no words to describe that moment and unfortunatly I was caught up in the moment too much to get pictures! But it was a joyous moment for the WRIGHT FIVE!

Operation Flower Countdown!

Cameron seems to be full of surprises! Seven days before he was expected to arrive from a year long deployment I received a bouquet of flowers. They were unexpected and well appreciated as I had previously stated in one of the last post.

...Seven ...

Then there was another knock at my door with another bouquet of flowers on which I thought there was some mistake, but with a look at the bank account and a quick call to the florist found it was the inner workings of my crazy husband!

...Six ...

...and with yet another knock on the door and a smiling florist...

...Five ... 

...Four ...

 
...Three ...

By this point it seemed that the flourists that were delivering the flowers were more excited then I was.

...Two ...

...One ...

So utterly romantic eh? After the anger from the expense of this operation had disabpated I thought it was a wonderful surprise. It gave me something to think about rather then the thought of the moment we would meet again! 

Catching Up to that Katchup!

It seems I have been slacking a little when it comes to my blog for the last.... hmmm.... FOUR months. It has been nice to be a complete family again living under the SAME roof. I have to admit there probably were a few minutes here and there where I could have made a post or two, but opted for relaxing with my LOVE on the couch watching a movie.. or GLEE! I know unforgivable right? Well I am HERE NOW and will catch you all up with what we have been up to for the last FOUR months in the next few days of POSTS! Are you all excited or what!
