Chris and Greg went to pick up Jim yesterday morning and we welcomed him home around 4pm yesterday afternoon. It was a great homecoming with food, friends, a bit of wine and some ice cream cake! What a wonderful combination.
Chris and I are both ecstatic that Jim is finally here... we have missed him so much. Other than a few pounds lighter and a little paler, he is still the same old Jim.. and we can't wait to spend time with him!!
Jim, always thinking of others, presented the 4 couples that were there at dinner last night each with a flag and certificate. The flags flew over the base where he was stationed in Djibouti. He did this as a thank you for helping him and his family out while he was gone. Such a nice gesture, when they are really the ones who had it toughest. But through it all, if made it a little easier, and in any way helped to ease his mind, then it was so definitely worth it. He and his family had the hardest job... and it was very special to be a part of his homecoming!!!
Welcome home Jim... we love you!
