He Was Home for Christmas!!

That's right, Tyler made it home for Christmas!! He arrived home from Peru on Wednesday, December 22 ... just in time to celebrate Christmas with me and Bella. When a soldier is traveling on a commercial flight for R&R or coming home from a deployment, their spouse and children can go back to the gate to welcome them home. I, obviously, took advantage of this opportunity and went to the gate to welcome him right off the plane!

When I arrived in the terminal there was NO.ONE. in sight. Although it was nice that we would have a somewhat private reunion, I wanted someone to take pictures. Just before the plane arrived at the gate, the airline staff arrived to meet the flight. I asked a wheelchair lady to take pictures of our homecoming. She was very excited to take pictures for me ... I was grateful.

Practicing with my camera; I'm just a wee bit excited!

 He's here!

 At last .. he's home.

 There are no words.

Baby, It's Cold Outside!!

Sorry it's a bit blurry, but you guessed right ... that says -6* F!! I got back to Alaska and back to reality very quickly!! We have experienced sub-zero temperatures everyday this week. Bella and I walked last night, but it was short and fast because my face just couldn't take the chill in the air!
