As I said, Christ returned home on August 3rd. And we are over the moon to finally have him with us again! Kiley sure did miss her daddy. Anybody who has never experienced a military welcome home ceremony, I highly reccomend it. They are such a happy time and make you so proud to be an American. They are just awesome! Chris' plane arrived near midnight, which in my own weird way I found even more exciting. Haha! However, it was extrememly hot! Everyone was sweating and fanning. It had to be 100 degrees. Kiley was miserable and began to ask if we could just go ahead and leave without daddy. I didn't know if she was going to make it until he arrived. But finally, they came over the speakers and asked us to walk outside to watch the plane touch down on U.S. soil. Once we did this and saw the plane come down, Kiley was just excited as everybody else! She was waving her flag and cheering. So sweet! I began to cry as soon as it landed, as it was the official end to the stress, sadness, and worry from the past year. He was home!! Here are a few pictures from that very special night!! Well.. pictures coming soon.. my computer is apparently not in the mood to upload pics at the moment. :)
