My hubby's home!!!

Charlie got in last Friday night at about 8pm. We had to wait while they checked their weapons in at the armory and the single Marines checked into the barracks. That was the longest hour and a half of my life! We were finally able to see them a little after 9:30. I did the best that I could getting a few shots of the occasion and here they are!
Where the heck is he?!?!?
Hard to miss. He was front and center, well not really center b/c they were in rows of two.
It was torture standing there looking at him and not being able to run to him.
Back in my arms! He smelled really good too, after 3 days of traveling w/out a shower.
Here's the sign I was asked not to make but did anyway. It's a bunch of Jimmy Buffett lyrics if you didn't know. My alligator is sort of covered up, but that's the part I'm most proud of. Charlie liked it, even if he didn't want to admit it.
