Two hundred seventy days is a long time. That's 6480 hours and sometimes we survived literally hour to hour. Deployments, encase you haven't figured out, are all about survival and just getting through them. I'm so glad this one is finally over. Dan called this morning with his flight times...landing 10 pm tonight after a layover in Boston (crazy). I was disappointed and a little unhappy about the late night with the kids. Then he called and said he got on an earlier flight and he'd be home by 4. We hurried to hang our sign and balloons and jumped in the car. We were so excited. We were 10 minutes from our house when Dan called to say he was stand-by and hadn't made the cut. Talk about deflating happy hearts. We are now back to the 10pm landing.
