Together at last!

Sigh of relief... 

199 nights of sleeping alone, 4 holidays, and 3 months of not seeing my handsome husband's face (even on Skype!). Yes, I am happy to say that we are officially DONE with this deployment! I'm sure most of you have figured this out by now but my husband is home!!!! It has been a whirlwind of a month, but I wanted to make sure I documented the glorious day that he returned home! We both were able to let out a HUGE sigh of relief that day and we are so thankful to be reunited :) Here are a few pics! 

Is that a plane?? :)

Come on honey!! Walk through the gate :)

FINALLY!



The kiss I've been waiting for!

Pure JOY!







Trevor has been home for 44 days today and it feels like just yesterday he was still in Afghanistan. I think one of the hardest things about him coming home was that I really felt "exempt" from difficulty reuniting. In my ignorance, I felt that because I feel like we have a strong marriage, we wouldn't have any trouble with him adjusting back to life here, together. Unfortunately, I was wrong...we are not exempt from any adjustment issues. Trevor was exposed to things in Afghanistan that I never thought he'd have to see or go through as a weather man with a desk job...but he did. Obviously I won't be sharing any specifics of his deployment on my blog, but we just want to thank everyone who prayed for us throughout this deployment as well as when he returned home and we learned how to do life together again. You will never know how much we appreciate your prayers! God has been so faithful to us as Trevor adjusted back to our home, Fort Hood, and being out of a war zone. We know that God brings us through trials and difficulties in order to show our weakness and His strength. 


"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.- 2 Corinthians 12:9
