Filling in the gaps....

Walking into the airport.

Obviously I have been on a 2 week hiatus from not only my housecleaning, grocery shopping and workout schedule but also I have neglected my blog. Now if my absence upset my four followers then I apologize but my Marine was home for 15 short days and we were busy falling in love all over again. But I am here to fill you in on possibly the most exciting, exhausting, and emotional 2 weeks of my life. 

waiting patiently 

This was the girls on June 30th at Wilmington airport waiting for daddy to arrive after being gone 6 long months. Describing this feeling in words is almost impossible. But I can try :) Ok so for the ladies, imagine being 9 months pregnant in the middle of summer. Your feet are swollen, your exhausted, you can't sleep, your back hurts, and you are OVER IT. Your just waiting and praying for that day to hurry when you no longer have to worry about the complications that could occur during labor. So you wait and wait an wait for the baby to come and in the meantime your anxiety level is sky high. Well that's what it felt like. I knew the moment was coming and all my worries and fears would soon be laid to rest. The aches and pains and exhaustion that I have accumulated throughout the past 6 months would finally disappear. Even if only for two weeks. And that's how it felt. The anxiety of the moment I would see him was even more intense then the last days of pregnancy. To see his face and hug him and know that he was safe in my arms was all I continued to pray for. 

The look of pure excitement


And finally the moment arrived. Now I wish I could say that I seen  him  walking down the terminal and he dropped his bags and we went running in slow motion towards each other until finally we embraced each other and spun around in circles. But this isn't the movies this is real life. Lucy was crying, Sophie was running in circles around the chair and a perfect stranger was standing next to me talking to me about god knows what. Then finally God had answered my silent prayer and I seen a shadow from the corner of my eye. Before I had the chance to glance over, I heard Sophia say "DAD!" and I felt a gust of wind as she bolted past me and into the arms of her daddy.
Our Hero was home!

Reunited :)

Kisses for the hero.

Lucy was a little shy at first.

She wouldn't let him put her down.

Keeping her eye on daddy.

The brownies we made Daddy.

The surprise from daddy! A huge blowup water slide.

Finally, wine night with my man!

Pizza night!

Now I will stop here to be polite to you but this was only the first day! I have fourteen more days that I cant wait to share. To be continued........
