This week has been super busy for us. We had our home inspection and we are working on finalizing our loan... Can we say this has been a stressful week?!?
On top of having to sign papers and make appointments, I went to Virginia to see my brother come back from his deployment.
Seeing the ship pull up and all the people standing there waiting for their sailors made me cry. I loved every minute of it. What really got the tears going was seeing a mom with a new born baby holding a sign that said, "Meet your mini-me." Yeah... as soon as I saw that, the tears were flowing!
It was so awesome to be a part of the soldiers coming home! It filled me with pride and excitement to be an American.Unfortunately, Joey had duty that evening and could not come off of the boat immediately. However, he told us that later on he would call us and let us take a tour of his ship!
Going on that tour was SO much fun. I think the USS Eisenhower has 11 floors full of tunnels and hatches (some look more like doggy doors. :)
The rest of the week was spent spending time with the twins. It was so great having my brothers in one place. We got to spend the fourth of July watching fireworks together, which hasn't happened since we were kids :). I had such a great time with my brothers and I am so proud and thankful for their service. I wished my other siblings could have been there too :(
I am so thankful for my family and the amazing country I get to call home. Thank you to all of our servicemen and women out there who make it possible to celebrate our freedom and independence!
Love
Jess
