Home at Last

Rob is finally home. He came home Saturday morning, March 12.

For those of you who have never experienced a redeployment ceremony, here is what happens. First, they change the time of their arrival a million times the week they are to come home. The final change occurred the night before Rob came home. Then they gather all the families in this big room with bleachers. Meanwhile, the soldiers are all at another location on post in-processing and stuff.


Then we wait and wait and wait...



And then they announce the arrival of the soldiers and they all start running in!







Then there is a prayer, a few people speak for a couple minutes. And then finally, the soldiers are dismissed and can join their families.



We left right away and came home! Together at last!
