Sara Taylor wanted to give her husband a huge surprise.

Her husband, Sgt. Fort Taylor, was returning to the United States after serving for a year in Afghanistan with the Marines.

“Because he is stationed in California and our kids and I live in Maryland, he didn’t think that anyone would be there when he returned,” wrote Taylor in the caption for the video.  “But I showed him!”

“It was a short trip, but it was the best!” Taylor added. “I love you babe!”
