Lonnie is HOME !!!!!

Tonight we went and got Lonnie from the airport in Naha !!!!! He had a very long trip to get here... He left Afg. and flew to Kuwait.. then it was on the the USA !!!! He got in on June 18th and had to wait until the 20th to start his journey home to Okinawa.. it was nice that he had a direct flight from the states to Japan and then to Okinawa !! The kids and I got picked up by a friend of our and headed for the airport.. We were met there by some of the guys in his old shop that came out to welcome him home !! It was really nice and he didn't know about it.. we made signs and started yelling when he walked through the doors ... straight into my arms !!! I had been teary all day, but did really good when I saw him :) It is so good to have him home !!
