Welcome Home Hans

Today is the day. Honey came home. Although it's a little different than I had planned, I am thankful and happy. I hate that he came home under such sad circumstances, but my heart is filled with joy at the thought of seeing his handsome face, and having him in my arms once again. He was to arrive in VA at 3:30 PM, but being the little sneak that he is....he caught an earlier flight and arrived at 9:55 AM! I was no where near ready! So, I sent everyone off to church, and jumped in the shower. I got ready, Uncle Don handed me the GPS, and I handed him the "Welcome Home" sign to hang while I went to the airport. The airport is about an hour away. I think I broke EVERY speed limit and ran EVERY red light there was to get to Hans. When I finally arrived, I went up the escalator with butterflies in my tummy. As soon as I arrived at the top, there he was. My groom. My handsome. My soldier. I love that man!
We went and ate at Olive Garden. Then on to the house where a bunch of family was waiting for him. I am so glad he got a big welcome from his mom, and uncles and aunts. Just wish his Daddy could have been there too. Some of my favorite pics are of Hans and the girls. I don't think I have EVER seen Hannah that happy. Sammy RAN to daddy and threw herself into his arms. And little Joyanna even rested her head on daddy's shoulder. Such sweet memories.....Welcome Home Honey. We missed you!
