Gil's Homecoming!

The wait is finally over! Gil arrived home Sunday November 1st at 8pm. I have never been so happy to see a plane land! Here are some pictures from that day/night. Here is the first picture of us in 6 months! Finally somebody other than Kai to take pictures of!
The banner hung up in all its glory.
The lonely stairs waiting for a plane.
Banners hung at the hanger.
Finally debarking!
He's Home!!!

Since Sunday we haven't been up to to much. Gil really just wanted to hang out, eat & watch football. So that is mostly what we have done. We had a big homecoming meal on Monday and have continued to eat great food since then.
Kai was so excited to see Gil. We were both really happy that she remembered him. Here is a picture of Kai and Gil cuddling while watching football.
The first thing we've really done outside the house was dinner with friends. We went to Sushi Sasabune also known as the "Sushi Nazi," only dip when told to, eat in one bite only & eat until you can't eat anymore! It was the best sushi I have ever eaten. All the fish is freshly flown in each day and it literally melts in your mouth. The picture below is us before dinner.
Gil starts back at work on Monday; mostly half-days full of class about how to adjust to life back home. I promise to update as we started to do things again.

Next up family visiting for the holidays. Can't wait for the whole family to arrive!
