A quick post while I'm thinking of it. I have been a little MIA because I've been busy between spending my free time with hubby and my working time at work! With all the other little errands and life chores, things like Pinterest and blogging have taken a back seat for the moment.
That being said, things are pretty great, just like I expected! I am making a conscious effort to be grateful and not take this time for granted, because I waited for it long enough! Hubby is getting back into the swing of work, but soon enough he'll be on vacation, and when I finish my current internship, we're going on a vacation together for a week. It will certainly be welcome to have a full week of recreational time and travel together. Then it's right back to school for me, but I'm glad the schedules worked out so I'm free to take that time when he is too.
We've been hanging around the house and spending a little time out and about, which is about the right combination. I'm just enjoying us making dinners, watching movies, and spending time together. That's really what it's all about, and I certainly can't complain! I'm just so happy this time is finally here.

Reunited!
Well, I've kept readers in suspense long enough - though if you are friends with me on Fbook or almost anything else you know this - hubby is home! He got back last weekend and we are both, as you might expect, extremely happy about it.
A little over two hundred days after we tearfully said good-bye much sooner than we wanted to, I showed up at a field on post in the middle of the night, and sat on some bleachers waiting for hubby and the others to arrive in their buses from the airfield. The blaring loud cheery music helped me stay awake. :-)
At a certain point I realized I was sort of shaky and starting to tear. I felt silly a little bit, but then again, I had such a huge feeling of relief that the waiting was finally almost over. I felt even more emotional and excited as the buses pulled up! It was definitely a rush. Before I knew it, they announced we could go find our loved ones, and after just a little bit of searching, I saw him, called his name, and got that long awaited hug. After a quick exchange of photos with a friend, we headed off the field, got his bag, and headed home. It worked out well that he came back at the beginning of a weekend, because we got to spend some wonderful time together before I had to go back to work (internship) on Monday. Since he got back we've bought a new car, celebrated the 4th of July, and both gone back to work. We'll get to go on vacation for a week in August, but in the meantime, I am just enjoying every moment with him. It feels surreal that, as it stands now, it will be this way for a while - at least in military terms. That's a quick synopsis of how it all went down and how I've felt since. But because a picture is worth a thousand words, here is the picture:
Words can't fully express how happy I was and am! Welcome home to my wonderful husband!
