Homecoming!


Deployment Recap: Week 31- He’s home!!!! It’s all over!

Emotional: Spent most of the week wishing it would hurry up and be Thursday. Lots of feelings of excitement, happiness and relief that deployment was finally done.

Physical: Took the week off from CrossFit but still went running. Very proud of how healthy I stayed the entire deployment.

Communication: Nothing until Thursday when he stepped off that boat. But after that, does anything else really matter?

Something Fun You did This week: Homecoming preparations- putting up the sign in the chain link fence, a welcome/final fling potluck and then THE big day.

What are you looking forward to next week: Relaxing at home with Lyle when he’s not at work, enjoying all the things we’ve missed doing together the last 7 months.

What made you happy this week: Everything related to homecoming.

What made you sad/mad this week: One small little issue but as a wise woman in my life said “nothing she can say or do will ruin my homecoming”, and as a matter of fact, ruin anything at all in the future. It is SO nice to just walk away from drama.

What do you miss this week: Does this apply anymore?

Favorite song/show/movie of the moment: Daft Punk, Drake, Great Gatsby Soundtrack
 Pictures from This week:
Our "fence sign" made with colored clip-in pieces. It was hard work, but looked great!

A sweet thank-you gift from one of the boat spouses. 

The house is all ready! 

The boat sailing in to port with the lei we made. 


Lyle came home with lots of foreign money. 

Lexi is VERY happy that Lyle is home. 

Spending time with friends after 7 months at sea. 

They love each other. A lot. 

Not to be left out the cats love Lyle too.
