September marks the half way point for my husband's deployment. I am excited that we've made it this far! We're over the "hump" so to speak and can look forward to November when he gets to come home for R&R and then in March when he comes home for good.
I try to send Mark a care package every month. It's been fun putting them together and I know he enjoys receiving mail. I usually always bake a sweet treat for him and send him things I think he'd enjoy. Books are some of his favorites and snickers. The post office is great because they have flat rate shipping boxes, so I can stuff a whole box full and no matter how much it weighs, it ships for $12!
Care package for September: cookies, books, pringles, slim jims, and the all essential deordorant!
Every solider deserves to get care packages. If you don't know anyone currently deployed and you want to send someone a package, let me know. I know several people deployed with my husband who would love to receive one!
November is getting closer and closer! We would love to show our troops support by sending someone a care package. If you know of someone that would be great- just let me know what they might like or need. Miss you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alissa! One of Mark's friends could use a care package. I'll get Mark to find out what he likes and will let you know!
