Most people know that Tyler came home this last Tuesday!!! It was the most exciting day ever. His flight was originally suposed to come in that night at 6:50, as if that wasn't late enough... then I found out that day while I was at school that his flight got delayed until 8:30!!! I was kind of bummed but what can you do. It just added that much more to all the anticipation and excitement.
I was actually fine all that day until I drove into the airport parking garage to go see him off the plane. I was shaking and just wanted to puke. I couldn't take it any longer. Finally, I got a text from his mom saying they had just landed. I was soo excited! Then I saw his parents and grandparents come down the stairs and I knew it would be seconds until I saw him face to face again... and then there he was!!!
He came down smiling and just excited. He even gave me a BIG hug :) I don't know exactly why but for some reason after he walked away to say hi to more of his family I just broke down bawling and was shaking. It was an exciting cry though and I just think it was all the emotions that I had inside me and it just hit me that the two years was done and he was indeed home for good!
The last few days have been so fun to just spend time with him and be able to hang out with my best friend and actually go on a real date (sorry Mom and Dad :) ) Everything feels like just like it was before he left, if not better. I'm so glad he is home!
Good job Ty and I am so proud of you!!
