Great things happened yesterday! Zach Higgins was let out of jail on bond after a year and a half away from his family. I am so thankful that he and his family get to spend the holidays together. God is so good. I am so glad to see my best friend smile the way she did yesterday!
It was just a crazy day yesterday and by crazy I mean wonderful. I haven't had that overwhelming feeling of happiness in awhile and it was SO GOOD to feel that again.
It is not over, but we are one step in the right direction.
2 days before the big Turkey Day, I wish I had Daniel here but oh well, one more Holiday or special occasion without him, then he will be home for the next big one. Yay! Finally we are getting close...I try not to think about it as much as possible because the more I think about him and everything the further it seems. Everyone that has loved ones at Fort Jackson seem to already be packing and starting a list of what to take...I can't even do that to myself yet. I just can't. Because that makes it real when that happens and when it becomes real it needs to be the day before I see him...my emotions will be on high and I can't have them on high that long before I see him.
I keep telling everyone I can't wait for Thanksgiving Day...I always eat the best on that day and I always take the best nap on that day. Just a tradition around here...eat...nap...repeat...I may throw in some scrapbooking because I haven't been keeping up with the scrapbook ive been doing of myself and Daniel. Just not enough time...and I guess that is a great thing.
I have some major cleaning to do in the next 3 1/2 weeks...and party planning. I am giving Daniel a welcome home party on the 18th. It will be fun! I am thinking bon fire...or just something in the house. I think bon fire would be more fun though, who knows though. Just for him to see his friends is the major point of it though!
Let the Holidays officially begin this week! YAY!
