For weeks now, I have checked the blog of my good friend Theresa on a daily basis. Her family and ours, lived just blocks from each other in Colorado and us women became very close during the deployments of our husbands--which spanned the same year. The reason I have been checking her blog so often, is because her husband, again, was coming to the end of a looong deployment and her and her THREE kids (and the rest of her friends and family) have been anxiously awaiting his safe arrival. I am SO happy to report that my daily blog check today was a nostalgic and joyful one when I saw that he had finally returned home to his family. I just want to publicly thank all of them for their sacrifice and devotion to our country and the freedom we hold so dear. It is because of their sacrifice, that we live in such an amazing place. With Joe being gone for these few months, I am feeling a teeny, tiny taste of life as a single mom with three kids. However, Theresa has been going for MUCH longer and has had to live with the daily, very real fear that he might not come home. She is an example and strength to me and I just want her to know that. I am so happy for you Theresa and tears fill my eyes as I think of the joy you are feeling today!!
All our love,

Welcome home, Soldier! Thank you for protecting my children's freedoms. This is for all the faithful men who put lives before comfort, like you.
We can never repay you for the sacrifices of you and your families at home waiting on pins and needles for your safe return.

I'm so glad your friends husband came home safe! We love soldiers and all that they do for us! I loved your last few posts with all the updates. Looks like you've got some little characters in your family. You guys really have such a cute family.
You are so sweet! Thank you for thinking of us.
