HOMECOMING...really this time!

Well it's been quite a while since the last time I posted anything on here and I guess it's about time for me to get back into it! 

The last post that I did was about homecoming, well not really.. it was about me waiting for him to come home while staying in the hotel room & this post is going to be about the actual HOMECOMING!<3

Experiencing that was nothing more then absolutely amazing, and I can't possibly put all of my feelings about it on this post. The most I can say that will clearly get my point across is that it was the best feeling in the world, it literally took my breathe away to see him for the first time standing there, after being away from him for 7 almost 8 months. I knew that I was going to cry, every time I thought about homecoming I cried, every time I watched a homecoming video I cried, no matter what I did, if it had to do with homecoming.. I cried. So tell my why no tears fell from my eyes that day? I dont know if I cried too much over the 7 months that he was gone & I had no tears left to shed or if I was just too overwhelmed to cry. Either way, I shocked myself when I sat down a couple days later to think about homecoming and everything that happened. 

First off, let me just say that if the Marine Corps wants to make you wait.. they will. I arrived at homecoming at around 5pm and walked into the gym on base and sat down on the bleachers to begin the wait. I knew that I would be waiting a while, but at that moment I never realized that I would be waiting until 11:30 pm before I even got to set my eyes on him. 

Time passed slowly.. so slowly that at one point I thought time was going backwards. I thought that I was never going to see him, that the time was never going to come and he was never going to get back there. 

Mind you.. it was CHRISTMAS day.

I was beginning to lose hope until finally I saw the busses pull up.. my heart was racing and I seriously thought I was going to throw up. I was so anxious to just see him, it was the moment I waited 7 months for and I couldn't have been any happier. 

Instead of us seeing them as soon as they got off the busses they marched up to us and we all ran towards them to find where they were. 

As soon as I saw him.. that was it, it was over and I was sprinting towards him and in a matter of 5 seconds I was in his arms again & everything in the world was right again. 

My love, My life, and My Best Friend was home, SAFE, and with me. It was the best Christmas present ever. <3 

Experiencing a Deployment was life-changing for me, it taught me so much about myself, my husband & our life together. It brought us so much closer and it gave us a good foundation to our marriage. 

Although I know that I will have to deal with another Deployment, because he is a life-er, I know that I will be able to cope with it because I already have overcome the first one and the first is usually the worst.

Overall, I will go through 1 million deployments if I have too as long as that means I will be with Adam. He is my rock, my heart, and my soul & I will do anything for him.

I love You Baby.

love always,
