Home from Iraq

After 13 VERY long months, Robert is finally home. This is the only picture I got. This was taken as the soldiers walked in to the gym.

Imagine 221 soldiers marching in to a standing ovation of a gym full of people. Once I saw Robert, I burst into tears. It was such a rush of emotion. More than I ever thought possible. We had to stand through the National Anthem, then sit through General Yarborough talking. Those five minutes seemed like an eternity before the General released them and said, "Families, go find your soldier." And a rush of people heading out to find their soldier.

It has been two wonderful days.

We will be back in GA sometime late in January to visit.

I will keep everyone posted as to when we will be there.
