He's almost home....for 14 FULL days!

Mikey has been en route to the states for a few days now. And now in about 2 hours I will get to have his arms around me. As you can imagine, I'm ecstatic. Which means I'm running on little to no sleep, but not feeling the pain. I finally fell asleep at 3 am last night, and was wide awake by 5:3o am. I don't think I've jumped out of bed so quickly in at least nearly 11 months. I woke up ready to go to work and get things done so I could escape whenever my hubby called.

Today I feel much like I did on our wedding day. I am excited, anxious and a bit nervous...but a good nervous. I have planned my outfit for the past week and prepared all that I can around the house. I am ready to stand at the airport and watch carefully for my husband. Just writing this I can picture me on my tiptoes scanning the crowd exiting the plane, looking as far down the line as I can. Just searching for his eyes to catch mine. Just waiting to see his expression change from tired to excited. I can't wait to drop everything and run to him, jump into his arms and stay there, forgetting that anyone is around us. Six months, one week and one day we've been waiting for this.

Today we get this moment. I have to admit, part of me is nervous for the unknown. Will I remember how to kiss him? Will I remember how to share the bed? Will I remember that he needs to catch up from the 8 hour time difference? Will I remember how to stop time, enjoy the little moments and just relish in the fact that we are by each others sides? I know I'll remember it all (except maybe sharing the bed...I never was good at that!). I know we'll enjoy this 'honeymoon' we've been blessed with.

We hope to see as many people as we can. Thank you for all your support and each of you can smile a little bigger, dance a little wilder, scream of excitement and shed a couple tears of joy because Mister Mikey is going to be home!!!

tata for now - hope to see you soon!
