So Glad to be home...

Well John and I came home today, We stay in Union for a week and had a wonderful visit with our families. We got to plant 22 fruit trees, trimmed my trees and finally got my weeping willow tree. I've been wanting one for so long. John planted it behind Katie and bluebell's graves so it will be big and beautiful over their graves. I know I sound like I'm talking about real children. Well I guess they are to us. They were more then just pets to us.
 Anyway everyone was so glad to see John and he was to. It was an adjustment when he first got home and he is a little different then he use to be. But it is understandable. He did tell me things that had happen over there. I just listen and be very understanding. That's really all a military spouse can do. He did bring back some really great stuff he got over there. He knows I love writing in a Journal so he got me one that is made out of Camel skin it's paper is really different from what we write on, it's very pretty. He also got silk scarfs that he bought for my mom, his mom , grandmothers and sister. He got my dad a really cool camel skin hat and there were a few more things really too many to list.
Here are some pictures of the Camel Skin Journal he gave me. ( it was my late Christmas present)

This the front of the Journal it has a map of Afghanistan.
This how the paper looks and it is very soft.

This is the back.
