Home Sweet Home

Back together again! No more Skype. No more time difference. No more wishing the time away. He's home!!

On Friday 7/23/10 Dane finally landed at about 8:30am! My buddy Lisa took this picture and I had no idea until she posted it on Facebook! I am so glad she captured this moment for us!

We got into the car and drove into our driveway TOGETHER! We looked around the house and already began to make plans on how we could make it OURS!

We immediately made a trip to Menards and Target. Hours after Dane got home he set up the firepit and the grill. As he did that I mowed the lawn! Its like we assummed our roles immediately!

Dane's dad made the trip down and stayed with us Friday night and we had fun just hanging out.

Saturday Dane and I went shopping for clothes (and didn't buy any). We were right next to Slumberland and decided to step in and "just check it out." Well, one hour later, a new couch (for the man cave), a dining room table, and a much needed dresser for our bedroom we headed home. We had a nice night on a patio at a local resturant as well! (I have been imaging that for approx. one year!)

Sunday we went to the pool and then went to work on the house! Seriously, we did some work!

I went back to work on Monday and man would I rather be at home with him this week but I will take what I can get! :)

He has been busy painting and doing man stuff around the house. I can't wait to show you the changes!!

Thank you again for all of your support, prayers, packages, emails, phone calls, and thoughts. We are truly blessed to have such supportive and awesome people in our lives!!

THE FUGLESTADS

I feel.......

EXCITED to run up to him at the airport!

ANXIOUS to pull into our driveway and have him carry me over the threshold!
(usually done after a wedding but hey, I want to do it now!)

INPATIENT for Friday to come! The days are crawling to say the least.

PROUD of all Dane has done for me and our country!

CHOKED UP when I think about all we've been through, all we've accomplished, and how much we've grown closer in the last year. Seriously, what a year it has been.

THANKFUL for the support. Family, friends and co-workers. Without each and everyone one of you we wouldn't be where we are now.

APPRECIATIVE for the calls, emails, packages, and prayers. I owe a lot to some special people to me who just called to see how I was doing, just to chit chat to keep my mind off missing my guy, and just gave me a listening ear.

LUCKY to have people who really care about me. I am lucky to have such an awesome parents, sister-in-law, roommate, good girl friends, co-workers, and fellow Army wives. The list goes on! The most important person I feel lucky to have is Dane! I can't tell you enough how much of a support he was for me and he was the one who was over there! I hope that I was just as much for him!


Its almost Friday.....about 50 hours away!

Sgt. Fuglestad has landed!

That's right! He is stateside!
At 8:00 last night I got a text message from him and one from the military that said, "KFOR 12 soliders have landed on U.S. soil!"

I paced around the house waiting for some contact from him last night. Just to know he is just a flight away, in the same country, close to the same time zone, within my reach!

He is at Camp Atterbury until sometime on Friday for demoblization. Friday is the day we are back together again! Eeeekkkkkkkk! This is what my head has sounded like since I heard they landed!

4 sleeps until my solider is home with me!
