 "Deployment Disasters"

• The toilet tank turned into a waterfall, so I had to turn the water off & call for a plumber!
• The blinds in the bedroom cracked and I couldn't get them replaced for 2 months.
• I dislocated my pinky-toe.
• I barley squeaked by for the safety inspection on the VW.
• The Escape's back suspension cracked and had to be replaced.

Homecoming - Dec 14th, 2014
While having homecoming happen at 9pm gave me all day to "get the house ready," it sure didn't help with the excited nerves... it was a long day, but definitely worth it! I was glad Kaci was there with me, although she almost didn't make it in time before the vans pulled in (parking was extremely limited near the barracks). Thanks to Aubrey and Chris for showing up and braving my camera for these photos. I won't mention my husband went for the cooler of beer before finding me... oh... oops.
