It's getting real

Today one of the girls that is from Eric's shop and who was also deployed with him came home. It's the first homecoming I've been to on base. Believe it or not a lot of troops fly in and out of airports. Eric left from the airport, but we don't know where he'll fly into when he gets back. I have to say that the homecomings at the airport are awesome, but on base they are unbelievable. There are definitely more families and the 'onlookers' are other military members so they understand why people are a blubbering mess.

It made it REAL. Real that in X amount of days/weeks Eric will be home. I'll be riding in the truck out to the flight line to pick up my husband, or well waiting at the airport to see him get off the tram. I got so excited when I saw the girl that came in today so I can't imagine how it's going to be when Eric gets home. I'm just so excited that in X about of days/weeks he'll be home. He'll be home to go to the grocery store with me, to take the dog to the park and to just lay around with me.

I can't wait.
