Saying Goodbye...

I really want to be home and giving those I love big hugs and kisses. We lost someone very near to us and we are all reeling from it. Please keep us and his family in your thoughts and prayers. I love you all and hold you so close to my heart.

JUSTIN!

what a blessing....Justin flew through England en route to his deployment location and after some very last minute planning I was able to see him on Tuesday and Wednesday! I only found out on Sunday where he was going to be and showed up on Tuesday morning at the train station in Carnforth and purchased my ticket. After a long morning of traveling I made it to the RAF Lakenheath base and got to wrap my arms around my big brother! We were able to hang out and catch up...I listened to his hilarioius stories of puppy Rex and all sorts of other stories! :-) Being able to talk with him in person was amazing and I had to pinch myself to make sure it wasn't a dream! Because we were on an American Air Force Base, it was just like having a quick visit back to the states; American made vehicles and American products in the exchange...Justin was such an awesome older brother and told me to grab whatever....I could have gone crazy, but had limited space to bring anything back to school, so had to be careful...but I was in a little bit of heaven! It was hard to say goodbye on Wednesday and found it really difficult to get on the train, but it was totally worth the sadness of leaving to be able to see Justin for a bit. It made me miss home and miss all of you, hope all is well and can't wait for July!
