You just married your soul mate. Only a few months into newlywed life, he finds out he’s being deployed for a year to Afghanistan. A year. My husband travels a week here, a month there, but never a year. Nicole had waited 371 days to see the love of her life home again. This is the happy evening CJ came home.

I’ve been a part of capturing Nicole and CJ since they were engaged. I simply adore them and their families. Their kindness and geniune good nature would make anyone wish only the best for them for the rest of their lives. CJ, welcome home! Nicole and family, enjoy the sweet days ahead!

To all the troops, welcome back!
