He's finally home!

Yesterday we spent the day waiting for Tyler to come home! We had heard Monday night that he would be home Wednesday and we heard Tuesday he would be home around 2:30, they landed at 4:00! We have waited since January for him to come home, what's an hour and a half right? It was the longest summer AND afternoon of our lives! We had asked Laura Kruger Photography to come with us to capture the day! I was going to do it myself, but I wanted to be in the pictures too!
 
 
When we got there they told us we could track their flight on our phones, so Lindsay & my Aunt Lisa tracked him the whole time!
 
 
 
Once the plane landed and we saw it come around the corner everyone started screaming and cheering and that's when the tears started! It was so overwhelming, but exciting all at the same time.
 
 
 
It was so neat to see them all get off the plane! It was funny at the same because we kept trying to figure out which one was Tyler, they all looked the same, but we eventually picked him out!
 
 
 
I can still hear them being dismissed to us. I want to say, the drill sergeant? but I could be wrong, said "Marines, you are dismissed" and they replied "OOH AHH" and everyone ran to them! It was amazing!
 
 
We were all so ready to see him!
 
 
Everyone took their turns with the hugs!
 
 
Even Gma went with us (:
 
 
 
It was an amazing day, but I am glad it's all over! Thank you Laura for capturing these moments for us! It's something we will never forget and always cherish the photos you captured for us!
 
 
We love and missed you Ty....Welcome home! (:
