After Disneyland...

...we were home for about 1.5 weeks and then off to Portland.  David was in our favorite honor band - Music in May out at Pacific University.  Rob and I made a chocolate tasting event out of it at 2 shops that carry our bars.  We had a blast!!

All the while wondering when we would get the word when we could do this:

Welcome Ryan home from his first deployment.  After a 4 hour delay, we finally got to do this!
 

Funny story - due to the base requirements, you have to have proper military stickers on your vehicle to get on base.  There is a parking lot just outside the base for people to park.  So we parked our car there and crawled into Tabitha's Prius to get on base.  The 3 of us were pretty snug in the back seat once Ryan arrived but the ride to the parking lot from the airport on base was literally less than 2 minutes.  Guess who forgot we were in the back seat?  Tabitha drove right by the parking lot!!  We all laughed and said we really didn't want to go home with them.  Something we won't let her forget!
