As one of my best friends texted me yesterday, we're reunited and it feels so good!!! Drew made it home safely on Monday night. I was able to get a military gate pass and met him right at his gate as he got off the plane. And he was even wearing his sexy uniform! He was able to make the long journey back to San Diego with a friend he went to training with and was deployed with so I think that made it a little more bearable. But, after three layovers and an over 24-hour journey, he was understandably exhausted. Since he got in so late, Drew had the next day off and we planned to just sleep in so he could get over his jet-lag, but the Navy had other ideas...they decided to test the alarm system in our "hotel" rooms at 7:45 a.m. Really?! So we didn't have much choice but to get up and get going. It was just a day filled with errands & relaxing, but it was so good to do it all together.
I am so excited to have Drew home and finally be together again. It was definitely a long eight months. Thank you all so much for the prayers & support for both of us. God was surely watching out for Drew because as he told me this morning, he never once felt scared for his safety. That's pretty amazing considering he was stationed in a war zone! God was holding Drew safely in the palm of His hand.

A slightly sleepy Drew with a lot less poundage & a lot more stuff!
He's just too cute, if you ask me. |
