YAY! HE'S HOME! :) This was the first night that came home from LeJeune - the doggers have their "Welcome Home Daddy!" shirts on that I had made for them! He loved it! :) I love this picture - he looks so happy and a peace ... finally back where he belongs!The last three weeks have been great having Daniel back in the states! He has been back and forth between Camp LeJeune... so we have only had the weekends together. But by Wednesday he will be home for good! We are definitely looking forward to having every evening together - and not just the weekends.
We have had a couple of great weekends! Of course, we have been to Yokoso's many times ... he had to get his Japanese fix that he was missing for 6 months. We have been taking time to enjoy the little things in life - and really putting each other first - which has been great! Last weekend - he surprised me with a hammock when I got home from work on Friday! I have really been wanting us to get a hammock for the backyard. We really enjoyed that last weekend ... napping on the hammock in the beautiful Charleston weather! Overall, the last few couple of weekends have been awesome. I know that our time together is only going to get better once we are together all the time!
Here are some pictures that we've taken since he's been home!
This was at a birthday party for our friends' twin girls! First time we'd ice skated together in a while ... we didn't last too long :)
This was on Topsail Beach near Camp LeJeune - I spent a few days up there with him the first week he was home - and we walked the beach together one afternoon! :)

This was what the house looked like! The first one was from the CRAZY snow that we got the weekend that he came home! That was Saturday morning - with almost 6 inches on the ground! The second picture is what it looked like when we got home from LeJeune... the next day!! Not a single trace of snow ... but we were both surprised with balloons from a family friend! THANK YOU MS. SHERRI! :) He loved it - and I did, too! :)I can't believe that we are already back together and life is picking right back up where we left off! It's amazing to look back and see how much God has done for us over the past year. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT! We would have never made it without the support and encouragement that you have all given us! We are so excited to be back together - and can't wait to see where life takes us next! We love you all!
