Jeff's Arrival Day!!!

I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was call the deployment hotline to see if the arrival time had changed from noon. It was still the same, so in 4 hours he would be home. About an hour later, I called it again and I knew something had changed because the recording was now a female voice and the other recording had been a male voice. The arrival time has now changed to 2pm. They are killing me!!! It's supposed to rain, starting around 2pm and we are in tornado watch until 3pm. What a great day so far!! Then to top things off, I get an email from Jeff's squadron letting everyone know about the time change (which I already knew about) and that unlike every other arrival, we can't meet them as they get off the plane. Apparently since they flew from Hungary to Iceland, they have to go through customs when they get off the plane. Normally they go to Maine or New Jersey and go through customs then. Not this time!!! The email says they will have a blocked off section where we can sit on bleachers and watch them. HOW FUN!!!! After being gone 2 1/2 months, do they think I want to WATCH him??? So, I get to plop my big self on a set of uncomfortable bleachers and watch him for who knows how long!!! Hopefully it won't take as long as my brain is thinking it will. The end result will be worth all this when I finally get to kiss him (if my belly will let me!!). Well I'm off to get ready and squeeze my belly in some maternity clothes so I can shock him when he sees how big I am. He will have no problem finding me in the crowd. LOL
