Greetings!
I hope everybody had a wonderful 4th of July last week! I visited my in-laws in Minnesota and spent the weekend at their cabin on the river up north. We had a fantastic time blowing off fireworks, laying out on our tubes in the river and most importantly, honoring our soldier. I know a lot of my fellow Bravo wives had a tough time with this 4th- as celebrating our soldiers without our soldiers is NOT so fun! But we got through it and are looking forward to being with them for the next one. (Can I get a HOOAH!)
Well you guys know I had to do a 4th of July box! I did something a little different than I had originally planned. I intended on sending a super patriotic box filled with lots of red white and blue candies, decorations and movies. Instead I took lots of pictures of MY 4th of July with his family in hopes it will give him a sence of being a part of it.
  |  A lot of you have probably seen this frame idea on Pinterest. My Mother in Law painted a few frames and these are some pics that we took- the less goofy ones;) I think this is such a cute idea and you can have so much fun with it. Like I said before- you can't go wrong sending pictures, and this is a way to shake it up and give your soldier something a little different to look at. And hopefully he'll see and feel the fun in taking them:) Below are my favorite pictures. We've got one blowing kisses, and one of me sending a hug with support from his family. |

And here's our "Cabin Fun" 4th of July box! I didn't get a picture of it after I packed it- oops! It was another miscellaneous box. I threw in toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, contact solution, etc. It's super dry out there so I got him some good conditioner and lotion, too. I also put lots of fitness mags and protein bars. I couldn't help but add some travel magazines as well because, well, we live to travel! And of course, cards, letters and PICTURES!
Thank you for reading and thank you to all the spouses out there who make sacrifices for our country! We ARE ARMY STRONG!
