Oh, Happy Day!

     I have, on top of my mommy duties, cleaned every room in my house today. I have washed, dried, folded and put away two loads of laundry, washed the sheets on the bed and cleaned out the car. It's only 3:30pm. We both woke up at 6:30am and usually we'd be heading to bed in about four or so hours but tonight isn't one of our routine nights. Shane thought it would be easier on Shelton and I to arrive at the airport thirty minutes later than his landing time, pull up to the curb and he would "jump in". Is he crazy? How in the world would he expect me to drive and stare at him at the same time? That would be very dangerous. Come on, Shane, use your head. All kidding aside, we are not arriving at the airport even one minute late. A friend informed me that if your spouse is coming home from a deployment you can get a pass to go through security and wait for them at the gate. As far as I know, Shane doesn't know about this pass. So Shelton and I will not be waiting in the car on the curb. We will be there to surprise him as soon as he gets off the plane. I cannot wait!

     It's going to be a wonderful night in the Guthrie house. Both my family and my heart will be complete again. I have to say, I love Facebook during times like these. It's hard to tell everyone who writes a single comment or those of you that encourage me every single day how much it means to me. Thank each and every one of you for taking the time to say such nice things. This will not be the last deployment for us and so many others are still going through the hardship of a deployment. It's not easy but Shane is completely worth it. I wouldn't be half the wife and mother I am without him. Merry Surprise Christmas and Happy Shane Day!
