I just heard from dh and he is in D.C.! One more flight to Rochester and this deployment is over! It's been 315 days. Originally, it was supposed to be 365 days, but they let him out early so he can go to a school next month. I'll deal with that separation later, lol.

I just had to share my good news. I'm not sure how I would have handled things without all of your support! This purple place continues to amaze me, each and every day!

WooHoo! That's wonderful, Carla!
Separation for school won't have near the level of stress and anxiety.
Give him a hug from us!

That's awesome, Carla. I'm sure you would rather have him in school than deployed.

Ah, the homecomings! That's what it's all about! I am so happy for you and your family. Please accept my thanks, not only to your husband for his service to our country during his deployment, but to you and your family for the support necessary for him to do this.

This Beautiful Signature by Jennifer Z. Thanks!

I know it didn't seem it to you, but that went fast. I remember you posting that he was leaving. Well, I'm so glad to hear he is coming home and safe. Enjoy your time home with him.

Sarah's ... thanks so much to your DH and YOU and your family for being the wonderful support system that you are.
Good luck with school - my DH is in school at the moment. It's a LOT easier than a deployment.
I won't write much here because I daresay now you'll be with your DH and won't be reading this!! Don't blame you one tiny bit!!! :winking_baby:

Say Welcome Home to your DH from my family!!

Thank you so much everyone! He's home and safely tucked into bed. The girls did not stop talking from the second they saw him and I don't know how I got them to calm down enough to get in bed. I even got to take silly pictures of us all on the couch together. I'm still kind of in shock that it's really over and done. Looking back, the time went fast, but while we were living it, it sure didn't seem that way!

Thank you all so much. You have really been my lifeline the last 315 days!

Congrats! Hugs all around!
