David is HOME!

It was a GREAT day in Utah yesterday! David arrived home with the rest of his squadron yesterday afternoon! Olivia, Sawyer, our Great neighbors and friends and I all met him on the flight line! It is an unbelievable feeling that I will never be able to truly explain! I am truly grateful and blessed that he was returned safely to us! We were able to greet him right as he pulled up in his F-16! Olivia did her usual finger in the mouth shy act! Before hand she was ready with hugs & kisses but I think the sound of the jets, all the people, & news crews were a little overwhelming! Sawyer did great and produced adorable smiles for his Daddy! Afterwards we headed home and enjoyed an evening of catching up! Both kids really warmed up to him and by the end of the night he was unable to leave a room with out someone calling him out! We look forward to spending some quality time with each other and getting him into our routine! He is truly our hero and we are so very proud of him! I want to give a special thank you to Tory & Brian on being there for our special day! I couldn't of done it with out you! And I wouldn't of wanted to! I would also like to thank you all for your prayers, thoughts and support! We are truly blessed to have all of you in our lives! Here is a post to our interview on the local news!

Utah

We have been in Utah a week now.  Dad & Mom drove us down last Monday and they left on Thursday.  We left Montana & it was 9 degrees outside & by the time we arrived in Roy it was 70 degrees!  Dad & Mom were great!  They kept the kids busy, helped unpack, babysat,cleaned, & cooked!  We even got to take a drive to Park City, UT & did a little exploring.  I owe them a HUGE thank you for all they  have done for us!  We truly loved our time with them the last few months!  We miss them terribly & it has been difficult getting through the day without them!  But on the other hand  we are getting down to hours when we get to be reconnected with our other half!  We will keep you posted!  We are very anxious, nervous, excited & more than ready!  Once again I want to thank my PARENTS, Ms. Heidi, Tim & Patsy All the Grandparents, friends, and all my family!  You are truly great people & we could never be who we are with out all of you!  Love You All!
