We're headed home tomorrow!!!

After being in Houston for 2 weeks and 2 days, we got our ICPC today, so we are headed home tomorrow!!!! And, in His perfect way, God planned out the timing exactly right-my husband flies in to Houston tonight at 8 from his five weeks offshore. So, he'll be here to drive home with us and he has the next five weeks off to enjoy our new son. God has blessed us in abundance!
Thanks for letting me share!
