Homecoming

Hi Everyone – I wanted to take a moment to share a slideshow of Jonathan’s homecoming. It still very much feels surreal that the events of the past year have come and gone… who needs to watch Army Wives when our own lives have had its own ups and downs (of epic proportions no less) unfold right before our eyes. Thank you to all our friends and family, who supported, encouraged and carried us through the past year.


Enjoy the slideshow and I must say I love it that the song being played was what Jonathan and I danced for the first time as husband and wife J

Apologies for the quality of pictures. With all the cameras perishing in the flood, I had only my Bl*ackberry to capture images to update my husband in Iraq with.

We are so very excited as a family. In just 4 days, we will be moving back to our home!

All is not 100% completed but it's good enough. I will not miss living in an apartment and I am sure the boys shall agree as well.
