Oh Deborah I am so happy. I am over the moon.

Welcome home Ryan.

Deb I am so excited for all of you. You have an amazing family and you are all so beautiful. (Of course you are gorgeous).

How nice of your best friend Gail.

Deb I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers. You pray like my father prayed and I love it. I felt them and I knew that you would be sending me some.

So excited that Ryan is home.

Love Renee xoxo

Hi Darling Deb and WELCOME HOME PFC RYAN!!!!!
You all have such darling expressions plastered all over your happy faces...your cheeks must be hurting by now as I'm sure you haven't stopped smiling since he came home. You must be the proudest momma right now!!!

Would you thank your son for me? We need more brave men like him ;-).

NICE SLEEVE!!!!!

much love, Cori

Wendy said...

Alrrrrriight!!! Welcome Home Ryan! Yippeeeeeee!! We all share your happiness (and I never speak for others, but this time, I'll make an exception).
Now - where are those wine bottles!! LOL!

Kjohnson said...

It's about time. I cried a little wishing I could have seen that reunion!

Renee said...

It must be a little weird for Ryan to be home.

It is a good thing that he is though.

I thank God that you have your son to hold in your arms again.

I love you.

xoxoxo

KeKe said...

Silver said...

awwww... i feeeeel so happy .. just reading this post!

PHweeeeet !! WHISTLE!!

WELCOME HOME RYAN!

I love the pic of "no more pics." Priceless. ;)

(btw, i know you're busy with Ryan- there's a tag thing that you might like to check out later.. take your time on that. )

hugs,
~Silver

Javajune said...

I keep forgetting to ask, did you photoshop those kitties in the pic or were they really sitting there like that? Your pets pose so nicely for the camera. Perhaps your occupation should be transcriptionist/animal trainer.

Renee said...

Deb of course I will be there. I will show up around 7. Is that too early.

Don't worry I will not where those panties I wore last time. After all we don't want Ryan to get scared shitless and run off to a war zone because of what is sitting right at his own mother's bar.

Love you.

Enjoy your boy.

Love Renee xoxo

I read about Ryan on Cori's blog and had to come over to say a big WELCOME HOME THANK YOU & GOD BLESS to your brave son! His service to our country is makes us all very proud! Glad he's home safe and sound!

Just A Girl said...

Where's the party? Is it tonight? Did I miss it? I AM SO CONFUSED!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!!!
I hope no one fell off the bar stool ;-O!

xoxo Cori

deborah,

i think you are going to be a good influence on me. i can show you how to kick and cry and you can show me how to be vague.

oh i know you already know how to kick because you are a dancer but i can show you how to kick and cry at the same time and you will like it.

yours truly,
emily
