Last weekend was jumbled mix of emotions. Thursday evening I was high with excitement at the thought of seeing my husband after 2 1/2 months. He looked so good in his uniform...but then my opinion is biased! While it was wonderful to spend the weekend with him, it was so hard to say goodbye.
I thought I would share some photos from my weekend with you!

On our way to a wonderfully unhealthy breakfast at Ihop!
It took me a bit to get used to his lack of hair!
We ate at a wonderful Hibachi grill for our last meal together before heading back to base.
I'm so proud of this guy for the sacrifice he is making for his country!
Doesn't he look good in uniform?! :)
He finally gave a real smile for me!

Our final photo before saying goodbye...that was the hardest goodbye. Much worst than when he first left for basic. I think when he first left back in January I didn't know what to expect so it wasn't as hard. This time I knew how difficult it was going to be so I couldn't even speak as he told me goodbye and that he loved me.
This whole experience has made me realize how much we take for granted our military and the guys that sacrifice their time, lives, and families for us and our country! We should never take them for granted, and what they are doing for us!
So now I am back to the reality of a lonely house, and trying to keep busy so that I don't focus on how much I miss my husband! I think I am going to redo a closet this weekend! :) That should keep me plenty busy!
