Oh Ashleigh, I am so happy for you!!! For all of you so very happy I could just scream with glee!! So, so happy. I have been checking your blog every chance I have hoping I would see this post. I think I just might have to post this wonderful news on my blog too!!!! Ginger~
I don’t remember how I found your blog (through YLCF, I think), but I have enjoyed reading it for a while now.
I agree with Anonymous… the picture almost made me cry. It is so sweet, and, even though I don’t know you and you don’t know me, I am so very happy for you.
Praise God! What wonderful news! I was so excited when my brother returned a couple of months ago…I can only imagine if it were my husband! I am very happy for you and your family!
that is one of the best pictures I have seen lately! Hugs and God’s love and Blessings. now as some one else has said shut down the computer and enjoy having you man home with you again!
Ashleigh, I began reading your blog just before your husband left and have been praying for you a whole lot. It brought tears to my eyes when I saw this beautiful picture. Praise God for his safe return!
Beautiful picture… so happy for you!! My hubbie won’t be home for another 11 months or so, but this gives me a big smile because I know it will be wonderful when he gets here!!!!
I am so thankful to God that your husband is home safe!! I love the picture of the two of you! Absolutely priceless!! I share your excitement. God Bless You and your BEAUTIFUL family!!
YAY YAY YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! I remember when my man came back from Qatar and Guam and Korea-VERY emotional time when the Daddy(and husband) returns! God bless you and your families re-uniting time, Ashleigh. Sarah T.
Im so happy hes home and so blessed that I was able to be there to welcome him home. I let Aunt Kathe sign onto my face book account so she could see the pictures. She cried through the whole thing! :) We love you so much and are so happy that your hubby is home!
Been checking for this post…. PRAISE THE LORD for your husband’s safe arrival home! Absolutely ***LOVE*** the picture…. brought tears to my eyes! Have a wonderful time reacquainting and readjusting. Can’t say enough about that picture! :)
Have been praying for you both all along. Take some much needed time off- Does he get time off right away? Frank always had to go right back to work for about 2-3 weeks before he got leave…. either way take your time adjusting back into things.
I discovered your blog via Rocks in My Dryer a few weeks ago and have come to visit several times since.
This picture is beautiful, and it brought tears to my eyes, though I don’t know you. Your blog is very encouraging.
I was also incredibly amused by the story of your engagement you wrote several weeks ago. The first words out of my mouth were also, ‘Did you ask me dad?!’
love, love, love the picture. :) it was amazing being there when he came home. i’m thrilled beyond belief for you guys. i love you so, so much! hugs, your sissy
Praise the Lord you are together again, as a couple, as a family and in the same state & country! May the time you spend together be more precious than ever and made up for time spent apart! Love and blessings, and the little video clip of your son is just too precious.
Hey, I’m happy the good Lord got you both back together. Gladly he’s safe! Best wishes to both of you and the rest of the fam! My grandfather was also in the army.
OK, so I’m finally back on (we got the router all set up, ptL), and of course I came over here first to see the picture. And of course I wanted to cry. I’m so glad that we were able to get most of that stuff taken care of so that now you can just enjoy being with him!! Remember, call anytime you want a day just the two of you! Hugs!!
Just came upon your blog accidentally and wanted to tell you I’m glad your hubby is home safe and sound! My Marine came home the same day yours did. We probably walked right past each other! Anyway, I hope you guys are sharing some special time together.
What great news. How wonderful that he is home with you safe and sound! I am so looking forward to the day that I can have a post with this title. Only 9 more months for that!
This picture makes me cry. I feel for you in the pain of being separated, and rejoice with you in being reunited…and feel for you in the pain of another separation now, in 2010. May God give you strength!
The most beautiful picture ever…it brought tears to my eyes. I’m soo glad for you.
Oh Ashleigh,
I am so happy for you!!! For all of you so very happy I could just scream with glee!! So, so happy. I have been checking your blog every chance I have hoping I would see this post. I think I just might have to post this wonderful news on my blog too!!!!
