Coming home!!

This has been a very exciting week for my family, because my husband is coming home from a year long deployment!  It is amazing how much has changed in 1 year and how much we have been able to achieve in this year! I went into this deployment unsure of how I would be able to make it this year without my hubby and how the girls would make it without their dad!  Not only have we done it, but I think we have become stronger and more confident and made us a better family for the future. When I look back at this year I look at the 5 weeks I spent with the girls in Europe, Avery's first day of 1st grade, Sydney's first day of preschool and all the other firsts that have come and gone this year. This military life isn't for the faint of heart, but I am proud of the way we have come through stronger on the other side!
