4th of July

July 4, 2013: I love Independence Day. It really is up there as one of my favorite holidays. But knowing that Chris was on his way home and expecting him the next day, I really just wanted the day to fly by so it could be the 5th! But what better way to pass the time than with some sweet friends. Talitha invited me to do a light hike in the morning with her sisters and our friend Becca--I think we went 6 miles round trip on easy terrain. They were sweet to accommodate for the pregnant lady. :) We thought about swimming at the end, but as the day was a little cooler than earlier in the week, we all enjoyed a nice rest and never ended up in the water. On the way home we splurged on soft serve and then headed over to a BBQ. It was a good day and spending it with friends was just what I needed to pass the last 24 hours before being reunited with my love.

Michaela and me!

Got my fence decorated for the fourth and my airman's homecoming.

Look Who's Home!!

We are so thankful to be back together. All praise and glory to God!

Valentine's Day Photos

It mostly rained while I was in San Diego, but Valentine's morning was sunny and clear enough for me to get some time out on the beach while Chris was working. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find him out there but I thought it would be worth looking. I thought I saw him but turns out it was just a blimp... Then I definitely saw some helicopters going around so I thought those might be him but turns out he was actually all the way up off the coast of L.A. for the day so they were not him at all! Good thing I had some beautiful scenery to enjoy!

The funny little sandpipers:

My bouquet of roses that Chris met me at the airport with. The French press made do as the perfect vase since we were traveling.
