Welcome Home Captain Nelson!!!!

He's home, he's home!
I sort of forgot about my blog with all the craziness of Dave's return so I'm finally on here to share about his homecoming. Dave got home on May 26th....after seven long months of deployment. We arrived at the squadron around 8:30pm that night and began the waiting game for our men. It was way past bedtime so we spent most of the next couple hours chasing an overtired toddler all over the hangar. Finally, the buses arrived around 10:15 pm and I can't tell you the emotions that washed over me in that moment. I was lucky enough to have my sis and Alisha there with me (Alisha was my photographer), plus Dave's parents were there and of course, Carter too! Kristen, Mandy and I stood together - arms linked - waiting for those buses to get out of our way so we could finally get to our guys. Naomi spotted Dave quickly and before I knew it....I was in his arms again! Best feeling in the whole world!
Carter instantly went to his Daddy as if he had never left. In fact, he didn't want anyone except Daddy once he was in his arms. It was the cutest thing ever and my heart just melted!
It was a perfect homecoming and Carter and I are thrilled to have Dave home again! Life is good!
Here's a few pics from that night, thanks to my bestie who captured all those great moments for us! Thanks Lish!
