Hi, friends!
Well Hubs mentioned last week that because of his shift he's getting up when his base is serving dinner! (Apparently it's a little hard to stomach chicken wings and french fries as soon as he gets up..:) I would give anything to take him warm, freshly made breakfast in bed, but I can't see the army okaying that one. So I'm doing the next best thing and sending him all the over-processed, sugary, yummy breakfast foods I can get into 1 box!!

 We've got yummy coffee creamers (because he likes about 287 cups a day;), his favorite flavor pop-tarts, to go oatmeal including nuts and dried fruit (which I made him all the time at home), regular oatmeal, a breakfast nut mix, granola with yogurt bars and the Nature Valley bars are amazing crunched up in Greek Yogurt with some fresh fruit (which he has access to when he wakes up). |  I printed a quote to add to one of the sleeves: “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive- to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love-then make that day count!” ― Steve Maraboli And I burned a CD, made the song list paper the sleeve for it and attached it to another sleeve. The other two are pretty obvious:) I also put notes on each item in the box...  |
The CD is a mix of songs that make me think of him and new songs that he hasn't heard and doesn't have access to. This particular mix had songs like America The Beautiful (Miranda and Blake cover: AMAZING), See You Again by Carrie Underwood- (I wish I could send him the video- a must see for military wives if you ask me) Gone Gone Gone by Phillip Phillips, Miles by Christina Perry (the lyrics to both are great deployment lyrics IMO) and a few other goodies. I love sending him songs.. old ones that remind me of a certain event or fun time we had together, and new songs that have come out during the deployment that I think he would like..
My favorite verse through deployment:
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer” Romans 12:12.
