I'VE GOT MAIL!!!

I have gotten a ton of mail from the family and the hubby and the in-laws!!! I am so happy when I get mail! :) I got birthday cards from my aunt Karen & the kids, the grannies, the mother-in-law, and the long lost college housemate, McCharen. My granny(s), Jasmine (my cousin), and the hubby send me letters most days :) And they have all sent at least one box! I have gotten the snacking necessities like Cheez-its, chips, dips, ceareal, sweets (take 5, are my current fav!), and a few packages of tuna and chicken. I was also sent, much to my delight, a pasta alfredo bowl that I put a package of chicken in and had a pasta alfredo with chicken for the first time in about 2 months. I have gotten some decorative garland for the room -- magnolias and baby's breath -- that makes me feel like I'm in the south again. I have some cute sheets for the bed with a butterfly pattern on them...to go under my bug net, of course. And the hubby sent me the coolest swatch watch that has a green silicone band that I really love! He told the lady at the store our story and she gave him a few novelty swatch pens with hearts on the top that light up when you write :) He also sent a paperweight that has a photo and a beautiful inscription in it! Everyone, you are doing a great job :) Keep up the good work and keep your soldier's moral up one care package at a time.
