Trouble TTC

AW: My brother just got home from Afghanistan!

He is in the Navy and has been in Afghanistan since January.  Luckily he wasn't fighting, he's a journalist.  It was still scary for us because he would talk about hearing the bombings and went on convoys and stuff.  The USO did an amazing job welcoming all the soldiers home from the airport.  I feel like it's such a weight lifted now that he's back.  And luckily we got right back into our brotherly/sisterly banter:)  Yay!

 

Hope everyone's having a happy Wednesday!

    Yeah.  I didn't expect such a big welcoming.  When I decided to go I thought it was just going to be him getting off a plane:P  There were signs everywhere, tons of people clapping and screaming, and even a color gaurd with all the military division flags.  It was so cool to see all the families reunite.  The best was seeing little kids running up to their dads.  So hard to resist crying!

    I bet that day can't come soon enough.  It's so so scary!  I just have to give a shout out to FB though because every time we heard about a bombing or soldiers dying, my brother was sure to update us that he was ok.  Thank goodness for that kind of technology!

    Yay!  Glad to hear he's home safe and sound!  My brother is expected to deploy to Afghanistan this fall, he's not even there yet and I'm already worrying.
