One of the most magical moments in my life was seeing my best friend walk of the plane. I've waited for this day for 6 months and it's here. It's no longer in 6 weeks or 6 days...it's right in front of me and I LOVE IT!!!
As a side note, I also have to add (not that any of you probably need to know this) but he looks HOT! Maybe it's the 6 months without seeing him or the new improved bod - whatever it is it's definitely working!
Here are a few pics documenting are amazing day!
Our sign was hung...
and our daddy's favorite brownies were made.
As we waited patiently...
anticipating daddy's return...
Poof! Our moment happened! He was here and he was ours to hold!
Our family is one and I'm thrilled to be walking alongside my best friend once again!
LOVE YOU DADDY!
Welcome Home!
