Our Family is Complete!

Kyle returned home from deployment earlier this week and our family is now COMPLETE!! I spent a week leading up preparing for his arrival and besides a few hiccups with the weather, the day went perfectly! I arrived at the pier at 6am to decorate the pier and brow with the FSG board. The ship wasn't actually pier side until about 8am. There was quite a bit of wind and a few sprinkles, which delayed them attaching the brow(how they come off of the ship), but then the sun came out and we were good to go! :)

They provide free signs for military homecomings, you just have to pay for shipping!

Reunited at last!

The day was perfect and Kyle's first meal request was Tijuana Flats! I placed the order to pick up right when they opened at 11am. Kyle's dad picked up the food and the manager was so happy that Kyle requested his first meal be Tijuana Flats after being gone for 6 months that she gave us a gift card! So sweet!

It has been great having Kyle back and we have enjoyed just relaxing at home! We have a busy few weeks ahead with our upcoming move, but hoping that it will go smoothly!
