I know that most of my post have been about Grant, but Grant FINALLY arrived to Washington last night…Mom and Amanda met him at the Armory. We decided not to go because we figured that he just wanted to get out of there and home (part of this was his decision too). It was about 9pm that they got to my parent’s house. The girls stayed up alittle pass their bedtime to hear from him, but they started to get grouchy, so I put them to bed. I am just glad that he is home
I woke up with this morning just happy. On my way to work, my mom called me and told me what time they made it back home and that everyone was still sleeping. After work on Tuesday the girls and I made it out to my mom and dad's to visit with Grant. On the way out there we saw Grant driving to town and about 5 minutes later he called and seeing his name on my phone, reality really struck me that he is home. He wanted to tell us that he had to go to town and he will be right back. So, we visited with nana and papaw. When Grant came home, he came downstairs to see us and Grace through her arms around him and gave him a big hug. Izabelle, well she really didn't know what to think. But after a few tickles and stares she finally warmed up to him. Although it took him taking her pacy or Babie as she says for her to give him a kiss on the check. He looked so good and so happy. My sister and her family came over and we had a great time sitting at the table just talking about whatever. It was good to have all 3 siblings together. Grant showed us some pictures, one of them was his truck. It was huge...he said it had 17 lights on it. I will have to see if he can let me get a picture of it to post it. I asked Grant what he did and he said that he transported things from one base to another...He didn't actually transport the things, but was the guard for it. I am sure I will hear more stories about his time in Iraq. I know another story, but I am not sure if Grant will let me post about it or not.
I will try to get some pictures up.
Until Next Time...
God Bless
