6 months down, 6 months to go!

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!

  1. 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!

  2. Thanks 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!
