My good friend Diana welcomed home her husband Ben home after a 8 month deployment to Afghanistan on December 3rd, 2008. Diana and I became really close during our husbands deployments. Dave left in March and Ben left in April so we were ALWAYS together. When Ben left in April he left his 4 month old son, Levi. Now, Ben was coming home to a 1 year old. Levi never forgot about his Daddy. He would always hold his picture up and say, "Daddy!" Di and I would do everything together such as, cleaning cars, walks, dinners, and more. I am so thankful that she is in my life. God has truly blessed me not only with Diana's friendship but with all the wonderful girlfriends I have here in 29 Palms. 29 Palms is a special place and I am thankful Dave and I are stationed here.
It was an exciting day for Di! We all went over my friend Steph's house to pray for Di before we headed out to get Ben. Then we all headed to the victory field were Ben and Di would become one again! Little did we know that we would be waiting on the field for two hours for the guys to arrive. That's just how the Marine Corps rolls.
Finally, we saw them marching onto the field and it was so great to see Ben and Di back together after a 8 month long deployment!
I love you Ben and Di!
Di ready to see her man!
Ben is the first one on the left
