Because he's home...

I haven't been around much, but I'm sure you know why if you read my sisters' blogs.

My boy is home!

Things I LOVE about my life now that's he's home...

-His laundry mixed in mine.
-Being able to call him or text him whenever I want to.
-Being able to tell him 'I love you' and knowing he'll get the message (before I was stuck thinking 'I love you' REALLY HARD and hoping he would get the message in Iraq via ESP.)
-Going on dates.
-Having a hand to hold while I drive.
-Cosette (my cat) having her Daddy back.
-Cuddling.
-His hair gel and manly shampoo and body wash cluttering up my bathroom.
-Reading Harry Potter!
-Laughing.
-The Walk-In Closet dance. When he was in Iraq I told him about having a walk-in closet and I was so excited about it I told him that every time I said the words 'walk-in closet' we were required to do a little dance. The night he came home I handed him something and told him to put it in the closet, he looks at me and goes "WALK IN CLOSET!" and does a little dance! He's such a keeper!
-The laundry dance. And the Pee-pee (I really have to go pee) dance.
-He came back loving my favorite band Muse. For years I've been trying to get him to like Muse and he would bash on them. Now he loves them and knows all the words so I have someone to sing with in the car!
-Having someone to eat my food when I'm all full at a restaurant.
-Having someone to watch Heroes with again.
-Talking to someone that can have a great heart to heart, can also make me laugh and be goofy.
-Him telling me he loves me all the time. He did that before, but he couldn't in Iraq obviously, but now it's nice to have that reminder in words all the time again.
-Having that gorgeous face to stare at. When he was sleeping in the car on the ride home that was all I did when I was awake was stare at him.


That's what I love now that he's home. I seriously thank God so much that my boy came home safe. Thinking of the girl I am now, I realize that the girl I was six months ago had so much envy of me. My heart is so much more at peace, I feel more confident with him by my side, I feel healthier, more energetic, and just more comfortable in my own skin. Yay :-)

PS: I am also so thankful to have sisters that were willing to literally jump in a car with me a day after getting the call, drive to San Diego and back all in one day, all so we could get my boyfriend (and pretty much their brother) back. It meant it a lot to me that they were able to share this with me.
