I haven't been able to stop smiling today. Ben is home. He pulled in at 9:59 am. The whole house was shouting, "daddies home, daddies home!" In some ways it seems like these last 5 months have flown by and at the same time I can vividly remember the day he left. I can recall with clarity a very specific moment when I was sitting in a hotel room in Wyoming with my three kids while my mother was out getting something for dinner and feeling extremely lonely, afraid, and overwhelmed. Now that is over I can say that I think it will all be worth it...I will be able to say that for sure once March hits and the residency match is over. Anyway, I just want to record the joy I feel right now and the gratitude I feel towards all those who helped me get through this and listened to my laundry list of complaints. Oh I am happy!

YAH!!!! Im so, SO, so happy for you becca! YOU DID IT!!!...I too cry tears of joy for you. enjoy the holidays with your sweet family!
WAHOO! I am so thrilled you can all be together again. You are one strong, loving, and amazing wife, mother, and woman to have survived these last several months. We know great things lie in store for your family and the sacrifices will be worth it. I am SO looking forward to seeing you soon!
As Dora would say, "YOU DID IT!"
I, too, am so happy for you. You give me hope that I can survive it as well.
Now that it's over, it wasn't so bad, was it? Please say it wasn't...
HAPPY DAY!!!
Man....this post got me all teary eyed...and in the first sentence too. I'm so happy for you and your family...nothing feels better then being a complete family again!
p.s. I'm ghetto and STILL haven't sent out your puppets...I have it on Bret's to do list to find the christmas box that they are in....fear not they will be sent! :)
YEAHHH!! We are so happy for you.
I don't know how DPM's do it, it was bad enough just the 2.5 months without Nate! I am so happy for you to be done with it! Even better...graduation is coming up so soon!!
About Utah, no big deal. Things got crazy for us too, and I really only had one or two days that would have worked to meet up, IF the kids wouldn't have been sick! We spent nearly the entire last 4 weeks passing around a nasty stomach bug. We'll have to talk and catch up sometime!
I'm soooooo happy for you. I hate it when Ronell leaves for a week-long recruiting trip. I can't imagine doing that for five months with three kids. You're amazing and now you get to be rewarded for that. You better take some time to go on some serious dates! :-)
I soooooooo wanted to call you all day yesterday, but I didn't know what time he was getting home and didn't want to interupt the reunion! I am so excited for you and keep getting misty eyed thinking about it! Congrats girl. Your awesome!
I don't know how you girls do it. Enjoy every moment with family as much as you can right? I guess you two have a lot of 'catching up' to do. Kisses and hugs!
That is awesome guys. I know it will all be worth it. You are great. If you are ever driving through Dayton, stop by.

I am so glad Ben is home!! It will probably feel like the rest of the year is down hill from here after what you just endured!!
