About a week and a half ago my dad returned from his deployment. Mom, Matt, and I along with some friends decided to surprise him and meet him on his late night arrival into Springfield, MO (he thought only mom would be there). It ended up being an interesting night since our little welcome party was running around this small airport looking for my dad, who it turned out got stuck in Memphis and wasn't going to be arriving until the next morning. So we took our picture with all our welcome home items, emailed it to him and drove the hour and a half back home... mom went and picked up dad in the morning, the rest of us had to be at work.
The week that mom and dad were here was fantastic! We enjoyed some great time together, most notably was Fathers Day. We rented a boat and spent the day out on the lake, it was fun speeding around the water and finding quiet coves to anchor in for some swimming! So fun!
Matt and I are back to some quiet days now that mom and dad headed back to dad's new assignment in Maryland. Summer school is over for me, so I'm trying to fill my days with projects I've been meaning to get done!
