Coming Home.

Yesterday Kyle and I watched Coming Home.  It is a new show on lifetime that premiered Sunday, but we TiVo'd it like all the other TV shows we watch.  So the show is all about military men and women who come home from deployment.  I cried just watching the commercials for the show, so the actual show...let's just say it was a cry fest.  I don't know why I cried so much watching it, it's a happy show, but I just cry and cry.  I guess it's because I am just so happy for those people and so thankful that Kyle is home already and I am done waiting for that home coming.  I really don't think I could do it again, like the wives who's husbands come and go all the time.  It is unimaginable to me, I am just not strong enough.  I really admire those who do it.  It takes a strong girl to do it.  I am so thankful that Kyle is home--even though he's only been home a few months, it seems like a lot longer.  Our lives have moved forward and we have a new life, and seems so natural.  At the same time, I can remember the day he came home like it was yesterday.  All the excitement of the day, THE day was finally here. I remember being almost nervous too. I know exactly what I did that day.  I got up, got ready, went to meet Becca--but I was too early--so I killed some time at Pier 1 and finally met Becca (her fiancée was flying in with Kyle) at Starbucks.  We visited and talked and talked and were so excited.  It was finally here, our guys were coming home!  We left Starbucks and went to Hy-Vee for some balloons and finally it was time to head for the airport.  We sat and waited and waited for what seemed eternity.  We watched other planes come and go, and finally their plane landed.  I remember feeling like I was being tortured, waiting for them to get off the plane.  They were the VERY last 2 people off the plane, but it was so perfect seeing them walk off!  I screamed or squealed and giggled and can remember falling into Kyle.  It was perfect. I remember feeling like nothing else mattered.  Waiting for luggage was no big deal because we were together and everything was perfect.  Well that was my walk down memory lane, Coming Home is on Lifetime on Sundays at either 7 or 8. Enjoy!
