My Dad grabbed my camera tonight and caught this candid moment. I am so thankful. Matt and I cuddled and the boys being silly with the happiness that Daddy is home. We can check off our first deployment since returning to the states and it feels good. I learned much about myself and now I am confident that this new reality is survivable. I have spent many years of our relationship with Matt deployed but the last three have been a beautiful hiatus. So this felt like a big girl step and tonight I am enjoying the homecoming.
