Today has been a pretty awesome day. Ian and I spent every minute together. We had lunch, talked and did a little shopping too. I couldn't help but think all day that I love having my best friend back. We gave my dad a break, and Ian and I went to pick the kids up from school. After we picked up the kids, we took them to the park to play and just enjoyed watching them play. We then went home and hung out as a family. It was nice just to be there in his arms, watching TV with the kids.
So, yesterday was quite the homecoming. To be honest, I screwed up hard. I got to the airport about 10 minutes before Ian's plane was supposed to land. I figured he would take a few min to get off the plane. Apparently, his plane landed EARLY! I got there, parked and started walking to the entrance, and there was Ian, smiling and waving at me. I was so happy to see him and so mad at myself for being late. Ian didn't care, because what mattered was that I was there and we were reunited. I cried and held him for forever it seemed just telling him that I was sorry I was late, that I loved him so much, and I have missed him. Yes, we were standing in the middle of the parking lot, hugging and kissing with me crying like a fool. My friend Lyssa was there with me to take pictures and after Ian and I were done with our hellos he said hi to her and we started in our way back. My dad pulled in about that time surprised to see Ian already out. He gave Ian a quick hug and then we had to get going to pick up the kids from school.
At school we picked up Daniel first and his face was shocked. He ran to Ian and held him around his neck so tight and was grinning from ear to ear. Then, after a few minutes he introduced Ian to his teacher.
Next came Natalie. We had to wait in line for her to come down the stairs. There were a ton of kids and parents but Natalie did what she always did, she started looking for me. Then, she saw Ian and her face was so shocked. She started covering her mouth and wanted to run to Ian, but didn't want to get in trouble for getting out of line so she asked her teacher's permission and then flew into Ian's arms, crying. They stood there for a good 3-4 minutes just hugging and crying. Then, Natalie introduced her daddy to her teacher. It was great.
Then we went home to wait for Emily to come home. My dad had to go pick her up from choir practice. Ian was standing in the dining room waiting for her to round the corner. It took a good minute for her to look towards me and see Ian standing there next to me. Before that, she was facing the kitchen talking away. Once she saw him, though, she screamed, "Daddy?" and ran full speed into his arms. She cried too and held onto him with all her strength.
All the kids were so happy to have their daddy home and their reactions showed that. Since then they have been glued to his side and argue over who will sit next to him at dinner. I am now fish food, and Ian is the main event. Which is definitely something I am okay with.
