Heroes on the Home Front

President Obama has declared and made May 11th Military Spouse Appreciation Day! I feel special =)

"NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 11, 2012, as Military Spouse Appreciation Day. I call upon the people of the United States to honor military spouses with appropriate ceremonies and activities."


The Family Readiness Officer at our unit posted some of the pictures she took the day of the deployment so I wanted to share the ones she sent me of my handsome husband.


In the hallway at the squadron. 


Me and Caleb with his boss, Troy. 

Boarding the bus (Laura, Caleb's using your dad's bag he gave him at Christmas!) 

I went to the Air Show here on base and it was my first time seeing the night show. It was pretty cool seeing the fire bombs being dropped, but I sadly wasn't able to capture it. We skipped the crowds and massive traffic by watching the show across from where everyone was seated (we actually parked at Caleb's work building, VMU-2!), brought some lawn chairs, ordered pizza, and had front row seats! Woo hoo! Here are some pictures I took: 

Enjoyed the beautiful sunset just before the Airshow started. 

First plane

Love this shot!


They played taps for the Missing in Action during the launch as it represents the American flag.




I took a short video recording of the jets flying and you can watch it by going to the website and clicking play on the video. It's pretty cool, so I hope you do watch it! click HERE




I was able to Skype with Caleb last night for a little bit. He's doing well, getting a couple hours of exercise a day, eating healthy, and the most important thing he said was that his Marines are doing SO much better compared to last years deployment. I'm very proud of him and how he is leading them. 

I took a picture of our Skype session last night. Caleb, both of your girls love you very much and we're so happy every time we see you. 

Love you and have a great weekend everyone!
