Harvest creates a lot of long hours and long days, but earlier this week I was more than happy to add hours to my day. After nearly a year from being away from home, my youngest sister and her unit returned back to Iowa this week! I left my house at 10:30 pm so I could see her when she stepped off the plane at 1 am on "Monday night".

I'm very proud to be a solider's sister and am so happy for her to be at home. It was great to see many soldiers from her unit step off the airplane earlier this week. I'm happy and honored that I got to be apart of this military homecoming! Remember to Comment for a Cause!

Thank her for her service and Hug her again, she's missed out on a few! Oh yeah, let those little people of yours hug her too!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will! We had a family supper on Tuesday night and the kids got to see her for the first time since her leave at Christmas. Both of the kids had a little bit of the "Santa Clause Effect" with her. I think they've gotten so use to seeing her through a computer screen it was a little weird to see her in person.
DeleteSo happy your sister and her unit are home safely. Thanks for her service and enjoy having her home! Paula W.
ReplyDeleteWill do! She has leave now for awhile so we're going to to get the most out of it!
