well, a.j. is home! i'm super happy about it!! :) actually...i was on my way to get him yesterday morning. i was one mile from the north liberty exit...so i was really close to his unit in south bend, and our explorer broke down! i'm not even kidding! i hadn't seen a.j. for 3 weeks and on my way to get him the truck breaks down! luckily, emily was right behind us...but she just kept driving! i guess she was just too excited to see ross! ha! so i had to wait on the side of the road with elijah until emily, ross, and a.j. came back to get me. i was there for about an hour. i have to admit, i did get tears in my eyes because i was SO CLOSE to seeing a.j.!! but i got a huge hug and kiss on the side of the bypass, so i guess that makes up for it! :) we don't know what is wrong with our truck, but my mom and dad are letting us use their car since they are not using it for a while. so it is all working out! :) but i had to laugh that of all the times for my car to break down, it was on my way to see my husband for the first time in 3 weeks!
anyway...now a.j. is home! and it feels so wonderful to have him here. i love him so much and i missed him more than i thought possible! i mean, i KNEW he was coming home in 3 weeks, but it still just seemed to drag on. i think this was an especially hard 3 weeks for me because i realized that was the last time a.j. will be gone overnight until he leaves in november. i can't believe the year has gone so fast. i should feel comforted by that because it means next year will go really fast, but i HATE not having a.j. with me every day. i mean, he's my best friend in the entire world! but i have to give him ENTIRELY to the Lord and trust that God's plans for a.j. are better than my plans for a.j. there is a reason a.j. is leaving...and i know that he will be much safer in the center of God's will in iraq than he will be outside of God's will here. but i am going to miss him. and i guess i'm glad for that. i'm glad i have a husband who i WANT to be with every day. that's a huge blessing!
plus, our reunion after this year is going to be AMAZING!!!! i can't wait to run to him after not seeing him for so long! it will be like getting married all over again!!!!! ;)
elijah was really happy to see a.j.! and all day long he completely forgot about me! haha! seriously...i would try to get him to give me a hug or kiss and he would run by me right to a.j.! i haven't gotten elijah to kiss me on the mouth for a few weeks...a.j. got him to do it seconds after he saw him! what a stinker! it is so cute, though. i took some cute pictures of those two, and also we got a few of the 3 of us. i'll have to post them sometime. maybe tonight!
well...that's it for now! i hope you all have a great week this week!! :) and hopefully next time i post something it will be really exciting!

SO sweet! Is it so neat how kids remember people even when they have been gone for awhile and how they can show so much love!! YOu are going to have an awesome time getting to know AJ again! YOu guys are great together!
Glad that AJ is home. I bet it made AJ feel good that Elijah was giving him so much attention! Yuck about your truck. She drove right by? Didn't you have your phone? Wow, that would suck. Glad it all worked out though.
awe, i'm sooo glad you he's home!!! i'm sure it was wonderful to see him. sometimes it helps us to be apart, because then we know just how special they are to us. sometimes, i forget that! ;) i hope you have an amazing week together!
