YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I GOT TO SEE MY PRECIOUS LOVE A FEW HOURS AGO!!!!

He was able to meet me outside my hotel, and we were able to reconnect and hug and hold each other for awhile. It was so great- though not what I intended, it’s what God planned for us, and I’m accepting of that.

We were able to see each other in a comfortable setting, then go to the base and get my visitor’s pass, see where he’s been calling home for the past 14 weeks or more and then go grab some lunch. It was great- very surreal. It was very, VERY surreal and strange to be sitting across from him at lunch. LITERALLY, sitting across from him. Able to touch him. Able to look at him and smile. Able to see HIM smile and laugh. It was great to reconnect a bit and see each other after SOOOOO long of not. I’m excited for the next few hours (graduation is at 1700h) and the drive home. It’ll be hard, but he’ll be home and ultimately, that’s where he wants to be, so I’m good.

UPDATES (including pictures) TO COME IN THE NEAR FUTURE! Please be in prayer for a safe and uneventful ride home as we drive through the night to get home tomorrow morning.

Praise be to the Lord, for He is good.
