I have been waiting all year and my patience was rewarded on May 12th when my amazing fiance made it back from Afghanistan safe and sound. It was a crazy week leading up to his homecoming with many moments of frustration but I finally made it. I was so flustered on my way there, I was afraid I was going to be late. But I wasn't and had to wait...again. It was the longest thirty minutes of my life. The buses finally pulled up and the company walked across the lawn in formation. After the national anthem and an address from Colonel Segalla the company was dismissed. It seemed to take forever to search through all the men in camo to find my man and then when I did I nearly knocked him over. A part of me wishes we had stayed to take pictures but I know Alan was anxious to get home. We had all weekend together to catch up and visit with friends. Alan started the reintegration process on Monday and is getting ready to go on block leave in June. I couldn't be more proud of him and his accomplishments this year, he is my hero!
