Celeste & Brett :: Homecoming

Thursday morning I was privileged to attend 1/5's homecoming after 7 months in Afghanistan. The date & time changed so many times, it was crazy, but Celeste emailed me late Wednesday night and said it was finally going to be Thursday morning.

We actually were worried we were going to be late, but it ended up being a "hurry up and wait" situation. Every other company but Brett's let the Marines go one by one after they were done at the armory, but Brett's decided to hold everyone and come in together.

This left Celeste waiting....and waiting....and waiting.

But, she was so happy to be getting texts from her husband again.

Getting more anxious after over an hour had passed.

Looking for her husband as Charlie Co. started letting out.

And, she's got him!

Celeste, it was so nice to meet you. Enjoy your time together, and welcome home Brett!
