No Air...

Early Tuesday morning (1:30 am) Debbie got a call from Tyson letting her know he was going to land at Mtn. Home, AFB around 11 am on his return to Nellis from Kuwait and asked if Debbie could get Kendra from her Mom's in Parma to Mtn. Home, AFB as soon as possible after his landing so they could see each other and so Tyson could see Kendra's cute tiny pregnant belly.

Debbie, of course, said sure she could pick Kendra up after Debbie finished work in the morning. Debbie then realized that she wouldn't be able to get Kendra to Mtn. Home until a few hours after 11 am and tried to come up with any way for Tyson and Kendra to be able to spend as much time together as possible.

So Debbie called Ranee and asked if Ranee could ditch work on Wednesday and drive out to Parma, pick up Kendra and take her to Mtn. Home. Of course Ranee could do it. Kendra arrived shortly after Tyson disembarked from the plane.

And, as you can see, Tyson and Kendra were very happy to see each other after Tyson's TDY in Kuwait.

There was a lot of drama about whether or not Tyson would be able to 1. leave his hotel room or 2. even leave the base; which would put plans of seeing others at risk. Debbie, Collin and Hunter arrived in Mtn. Home a few hours later and we all hung out in Tyson's hotel room on base while Tyson helped his troop unload their equipment from the truck and into their rooms. And since Tyson is such a fantastic troop, he was able to leave the hotel and the base! Yay! We went to Mtn. Home and spent some time with them then he and Kendra spent some time with Darren and family who had driven down to see Tyson after he got off work.

The best part? Kendra was able to stay with Tyson until the next morning. Next up for the cutest couple? Kendra's got her ultrasound appointment next week and within 2 weeks they'll know if they are expecting a baby boy or a baby girl.

Thanks for being flexible Ranee! I'm SO GLAD Tyson was able to see family, even if for a few hours, soon after he left the war zone!
