homecoming 2009

My Husband finally made it home! After 5 months of being on deployment on a ship he is home safe and sound. After 5 months of taking care of Hailey to the best of by ability and everything around the house, I am so happy he is home.

Marriage is hard work and the military makes it even harder on a couple. Deployments are not fun, they suck. Having your spouse leave and then come home 5 months (or however long the deployment is) later, sucks. When both of your lives have been changing and life keeps going during those months it almost forces your lives to grow apart, it sucks. When they come home are things just magically suppose to go back to what they were? No, people change unfortunately. Influences, circumstances and stress are all things that change what and who you are if you don't have anything that keeps you grounded or to remind you of who you were and the person you want to be.

But this is not supposed to be about the deployment it is about him coming home. For that I am grateful!
