Back in the USA!!!!!!

Hey everybody!
Wow, Where did the time go? After 9 months of deployment, and 36 hours of flight delays, my time in the "crappy sandbox" is over! The flight home was long. We stopped in Turkey and Ireland before landing in Norfolk, Virginia.
We made a brief stop in Turkey, we had to stay on the plane

2 hour stop in Shannon, Ireland

The flight home was full of smiles, cheers, and anticipation. I could not wait to get off the plane in Norfolk to see the best sight in the word, Holly and the kids!! They drove to Virginia to meet me, and have been here while I processed out. We had the chance to see some sights and get reacquainted. I will post some pictures of our travels later.

Holly, Zack, Eryn, and Lizzy met me in Norfolk!

Now I am looking forward to driving home with them. I will still be on active duty until mid November, or so, while I take leave and do final processing but we should all be back in Minnesota by mid week!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
