R&R

(Once again, not sure why the blog turned out this way...can't get the posting before the pics, but I hope you enjoy! And the pictures start from the end of R&R and go to the beginning, sorry!)
One of the happiest days of my life, July 22, when Dusty came home for his 2 week R&R. We met him at the Atlanta airport with hugs and kisses! It was so good to see him. After getting him, after all it was only 8:00 am, we went to his favorite place in the US...ChickfilA! After breakfast, we went to my sister Rachel's house for Dusty to meet his nephew, Branton. Ok, I won't write every detail of every day...but we hung out in Chattanooga with our families for the weekend, celebrated Dusty's 26th birthday (August 11), and relaxed. On Monday, Dusty and I drove down to Savannah and stayed at our friend Greg's apartment (he is currently deployed to Afghanistan). We went to Charleston for a couple days, to Tybee beach and played putt putt with our friend James and his girlfriend and sister in law, and daughter. We also went to Jacksonville for the day and had lunch with Dusty's Grandmother and Aunt and 2 of her kids. So good seeing them! For the most part, Dusty and I soaked up as much time with each other as possible, sleeping in, eating good, and a lot, reading, doing our normal errands/routines in Savannah, and just hanging out and enjoying each other's company. It was hard to say goodbye to him this morning at the airport, but we made it. Now, just 4 months to go and we'll be back in Savannah (Ft. Stewart). We'll see where God leads us with the military life...thanks so much everyone for the prayers, love, support, care packages, phone calls, etc. We love you all very much. Enjoy the pics!
