I know you are all waiting to see if Chad arrived home safely, so I knew I had to check in. Our boy is finally home. He was suppose to get in Friday night around midnight. Just as we were about to head to the airport he called and said he was still in North Carolina and they couldn't take off because of a huge thunder storm. He text us a few hours later and said they were taking off soon. See you in 4-5 hours. So we set our alarm for 4:00 and tried to get a little sleep. I woke up at 4:36...oh crap! What happened to the alarm? It was set for p.m. not a.m. uggg!!! Hurry quick...everybody get up! Head to town...we are late! So sad! We missed the whole thing! He was on the ground for 15 minutes without us being there to see him. I did not get the first hug. Mark ran...I cannot run. Little stinker. :o) I do have way more pictures to share, but we've been none stop busy. I don't have the time or energy to share everything tonight. We are all sleep deprived. I will tomorrow. Just know that we couldn't be any happier to have Chad home. We all missed him so much. Life is good!Monday, April 07, 2008

Jolene, I'm so happy for you! I am sorry you missed his homecoming, though. Those are so amazing. I remember when my BIL came home in 04. I'm so happy he returned home safely!
WOOT! So happy to hear Chad is back home safe and sounds. Enjoy catching up with him.
How wonderful he's back home safe. My husband is training for his third tour in Iraq so I know how you feel. There is nothing better than knowing your loved one is back where you know he is safe. Enjoy every minute you have with him!!!

Jolene- It makes me cry as I think of you & Mark seeing him. The mental pic of Mark running to him is wonderful. What a reunion.
Excellent news! Welcome home Chad! (Home for a visit or home home?)
Also, is it too late to do one of the cards about us? I was reading all the way to the bottom of the page but didn't find the instructions. Maybe they are farther back?
And how cute was you camp display with the pine tree and the stuffed bear and the stars!?!??! You are amazing.
Love the bathroom too. Love the outhouse!
OK. Enjoy that boy of yours, as if I have to tell you that!
Love!
Wendy
