a happy cry.

it's not often i experience a "happy" cry. our wedding (both) - yes. the first time henry told me he loved me - yes. after boot camp - yes. these are the ones that stick out in my memory movie reel.

they are far and few between. i just smile really REALLY big, toothy silly grins. but rarely do i cry happy tears.

i did last week. in the privacy of our home, when i didn't have to share my husband with family or the road... from the inner most dwellings of my heart, i wept in his arms. it's funny what the body does when there are no words to describe and no expressions to articulate. when pure genuine joy overtakes every ounce of control. all that makes me me, exploded into softly falling tears.

surreal.

dream-like.

utter happiness.

blessed with love.

my husband, my best friend and biggest fan, - home.

no words.

i can't even begin to put into words what's going on inside me this week. by-golly is it a mixture of the flutteriest butterflies and a roller coaster of the most sensational happy-go-lucky emotions. if my heart had a face, its smile would crack and explode into a thousand mini smiles; beaming with uncontrollable giddiness. yes! yes, indeed it would. imaginary ants in my pants, and i'm wiggly and jiggly with uncontainable enthusiasm.

uncontrollable. uncontainable. anticipation.

if you have yet to guess, my husband in coming home!!! ahhh!!! somebody pinch me, quick!

i can't give specifics on the web. meh! but it's less than a week! less than a week and my heart will have its half. our home will have its whole. our son will have his daddy. and our family will be complete once again.

may the good Lord have mercy on us, cause this hype inside us is bursting at the seams and we simply won't be able to hold back the smothering and drowning of pent up, over-due affection. nope, not at all. a mayhem family love fest it will be.

my cheeks might die and fall right off my face with all this happy beaming grinning smiling.

that's the best i can do. but really, even all these words do no justice. there aren't enough words in the dictionary, or enough expressions of love that could convey my joy.

i'm over-flowing. eep!!!
