Scott and Alabama

I flew into Birmingham airport drove to Montgomery, went shopping, and got done with everything I wanted to by 3pm. Then came the waiting... we still didn't know if Scott's flight got flight of the week- the difference would be getting to see him at 9am instead of 1pm.
Saturday morning I got a text from Scott he was on his way. His eta 9:30am....I was so excited I ran downstairs to wait in the lobby. When he drove into the parking lot I cut off a man walking out the door. I flashed him a smile and he asked, "what's going on, you have a very big smile on your face?" I explained I just saw my husband and he said "well don't let me keep you."
I got to the car and jumped in... man did Scott look good.
The day went by fast-- we talked for hours, played cards, napped, there was a thunderstorm so we stayed inside and watched tv for a while, he gave me a tour of the base, met up with his flight for dinner, and ended the night hanging out at the pool. The best was finding out how OCD he's become with little threads on clothing- he found two on my shirt, he took out a little pair of scissors from his bag and trimmed them. =)
When we were going to bed he asked "covers or no covers?" I guess for the past two months he has slept on top of the covers to not have to make up the bed. I laughed and he did get into the covers. He also mentioned a couple of times throughout the day how excited he was to sleep in on Sunday.
Sunday morning at 5:20am the fire alarm goes off. The fire trucks showed up a little later and we were all evacuated. We had a good little laugh about it and had a great rest of the day.
