After a
looong 4 1/2 months, (and countless nights of
patrolling the house with one of
Jayden's metal golf clubs at 3 am) my husband is finally home! We picked him up Tuesday morning
from the Pearl Harbor navy base. It was so exciting!
Jayden was so patient while the ship pulled in and docked, I was very proud of him. There were other Navy wives that we kept in touch with throughout the deployment awaiting the arrivals of their husbands as well. It was pretty emotionally overwhelming seeing him for the first time (I'm sure the pregnancy hormones did not help). The first hug/kiss is the best! But after a few "honeymoon" days, things are feeling back to normal ;). We
haven't really done too much, mostly just enjoying each others company and catching up with
Jayden. I cooked his favorite meal (
chianti braised short ribs, recipe will be added soon) and we have watche
d a few movies. We have a few weeks together before he has to leave again but he will be back shortly after that!

You never told me about the 3am patrols... Hearing bumps in the night?
