I wrote two versions of the story, take your pick.
Long story short. . . Dusty's deployment was canceled!!!
Long story not too long. . . Last Thursday night the kids and I packed up the van and headed up to Cedar City to spend Easter with some of Dusty's family. On Friday Dusty called from the 10 week training he was at in Indiana and said that they were reorganizing his unit and his deployment was canceled. In other words, he was coming home. WOW, we were overwhelmed with excitement and tried to stay calm. We were worried that he might get rerouted somewhere else in the mean time- so far we have lucked out. On Saturday he caught a flight home to Phoenix. We tried to see if he could fly into meet us in Southern Utah, but that didn't work out. He was required to fly into the same airport he flew out of and needed to report to work on Monday morning so was unable to meet us in Cedar City. We'll just say his homecoming was spent finding a shuttle home from the airport, calling the housing community to let him into our locked house and walking to the storage unit where his truck was stored to pick it up. However, when I returned the table was turned, I came home to a dozen roses, a gift card and Dr. Pepper:), thanks Dusty. We are so blessed to have Dusty home and are so thankful for everyones thoughts and prayers. All our family and friends have been so concerned and caring during these past few weeks of craziness. Thank You Everyone.
BTW
Dusty had two things to say after all was said and done, "I shaved my head for this" and "Can I have my two weeks back!"
