Ok, I been a military wife so I know the checklist:
1. Clean sheets
2. Clean hair, nails, body etc.
3. Kids are clean
4. House is clean
5. Keep things simple so you can spend TIME together, not stuck in the kitchen COOKING. You can always order in from his favorite restaurants.
6. You got that scarf to go over the bedroom lamp to make a nice soft glow in the room while.....
7. Get some lavendar oil and put it on the light bulbs in the bedroom BEFORE you turn them on and make sure you turn em on before you leave so the room will smell nice.
8. Any babes in diapers make sure no dirty diapers are in the house so the house don't smell like a sewer.
9. HOMECOMING BANNER AND YELLOW RIBBONS
10. On his pillow, leave a letter about how much you love him and how happy y ou are he is finally home, etc. But keep it short but not too short, sweet and to the point.
11. Get some inexpensive fresh flower bouquets from your super Walmart and put in vases in the bedroom. French courtisans used a lot of fresh flowers as part of the seduction. You do want to seduce him right?
12. Hope I didn't forget anything. Oh yeah, no matter what don't argue about anything no matter how much you might get irritated. It will take him some time to adjust to home.
Congratulations sweetie!!!

It's like looking in a mirror!!! My husband is in the Navy, and I only see him every 7 or 8 months. And every time, I clean like a mad woman, get all his fave things that he can't get overseas, and go on a crash diet for the 2 weeks before he gets here! And every time he walks in the door, it's like he never left.
You have nothing to be stressing over! He will just be so happy to see you, and be around normal and familiar surroundings. Just smile and tell him how much you love and missed him, and throw your arms around him and relish in every second you get to have him home. Hope this helps, and remember not to freak out too much;)

Don't stress over it, he won't be paying attention to the little details if he's too eager to come home to you. I have been a military wife for almost 19 yrs and you can never be prepared enough in your mind, as you always want everything to be perfect, but truth is, the guys coming home just want to see their loved ones and spend time with them and the rest isn't first in their list, so don't worry and just enjoy the moment that he'll soon be home and in your arms again.

Be thankful to have him back...some are not as lucky and he knows all too well first hand about that. Let him know you were rooting for him, and the rest you two can work out later. Initially, he isn't going to come home looking for his favorite shirt...he wants to see you, he has lived in hell for you, and for everyone in this country. just be thankful to have him back.
Congratulations, and make sure to tell him for me, and my family, his hard work hasn't gone un-noticed, and I appreciate what he is doing. He does every day what some of us either can't or are too scared to do. You are married to a real hero :)

Just relax.
When you pick him up from the airport (or wherever you' d be picking him up), have his favorite beer ready in the car. But put it in a brown paper bag so you don't get into trouble...
If he's a beer drinker, that should set a great tone for his stay.
I've brought along my guy's favorite Starbucks drink when I pick him up from the airport. It's always been a big hit! I tuck him in the passenger seat, he sips his beloved Starbucks and all is well.
Really, I mean it. Get him relaxed. Everything will take care of itself. And remember: he's just happy to be with you again.

Your husband is going to be most happy to be coming home to his beautiful, loving wife. Just relax and relish in his homecoming. Fill that time with joy and appreciation of having your man back.

Relax, so long as you welcome him back with loving, open arms, everything else is secondary. He's coming home to see you, and the most important things you can do are: love him, please him, let him know how much you love, how much you miss him, how proud you are of him, and that you'll always be there for him. Nothing beats the love of a good woman.

Please do not forget the one thing he wants more than anything else, and no, it's not sex. He wants to be with you in a quiet and peaceful home. He wants to be welcomed and to know that you love him and care about him and have missed him. If the dirt is cleaned from behind the doors he won't care, as long as love and peace reign.
