He's Home.

Yes. That is correct he is home. He is snuggled up next to me in bed. The. Best. Feeling. Ever.

I've had about every emotion that a human can possibly have today. I've gone from totally lost and hurt, to full of so much Joy I could scream. Today started with no word again from Jono. Nothing. Since Tuesday, which, yes we've gone much longer than that but when you know they are coming home that is eternity. So I was really trying to just trust in God and be Content no.matter.what. Well that is harder than it sounds. I went on with my day as usual. I went to Ted and Dawns dropped Brinn off I was just kind of a downer.

Went to class. Ate lunch with a friend. Same old same old. I hung out had lunch with my MIL and then drove home. Broken and in Pieces. I actually believe I cried almost the whole way. Yes I do cry to the ones that thing I'm 'So Strong'. I cried because I was angry, angry because I can't be like a normal family have my husband come home to me at night. I cried because the little girl in the backseat might not recognize her Dad. I cried because my heart felt so sad and disconnected from the one I love the most. I cried becasue I felt bad for myself which is PATHETIC.

I got home checked the mail... pretended he would be waiting for me in the house. Nope checked all the rooms he wasn't there. Put Brinn down for a nap... decided to take one myself. That's when it happened. The ring I hadn't heard in months and the name *Jono came up on my phone. I hadn't seen or heard it in MONTHS. My heart fell to the floor. It was Him. His voice was so soft and gentle and loving. He said "Hey Babe, guess what? I'm in Atlanta be home by five." For five seconds it was like a normal phone call any wife gets. Be home by five! Except I haven't seen him in months. I SHOT out of bed and FREAKED out. What do I wear oh my goodness my hair is terrible my makeup my terrible spray tan. I had 2 hours to get ready get Brinn up change her and get to the airport. Well I said screw the hair and makeup ( he married me he doesn't care). I got Brinn up and (washed my car) hehe raced to the airport.

The emotions I felt we unreal. I couldn't believe that in 2 short hours I would finally get to hold him. All the nights we spent apart all the nights I cried. All the nights I wished and prayed. All the nights were gone. This was finally the night. So my heart racing we went in. If you have a soldier coming home you get to get a pass to go to the gate to meet them. So guy number one was not very nice literally almost cried he was so mean to me. I know unbelievable. He expected me to know the flight number are you kidding me ????? I barely know my name right now dude. So I asked another guy nice guy gave me the pass and away we went.

Saw some soldiers going back to the Stan thanked them... Then we made it to the gate. Saw some Army wife friends and waited with them. Then I saw his plane coming to the gate. I could hardley stand up. I was shaking so bad and trying to hold Brinn I couldn't handle it. My stomach was flipping in circles. There were a ton of people waiting....
