The Perfect Military SPOUSE Christmas Care Package

Posted by Aprille on Tuesday, December 22, 2009, In : Army Life

Well I don't know how to read I guess! So my last post was my *blonde moment of the day*...but I will keep it because it is a good post!

Now onto the REAL topic: "After all of the packages you’ve packed for your husband, wouldn’t it be nice if someone mailed you a care package? What would be in it? Today we’re asking you to write about your dream care package you would love to receive in the mail for yourself – no expense spared, but it has to fit in a flat rate box. (Sorry, you can’...

The Perfect Military Christmas Care Package

WIVES OF FAITH 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL DAY 11.

I would have to say that the perfect care package for Christmas is one that is packed with the intention of bringing Christmas to the soldier, the way that he wants it. For some men that means mini trees and lights to put in their barracks rooms, or santa hats for all their platoon buddies.

For Russ, he just wanted another package filled with love. I sent him some goodies (Christmas cookies of course!) and snacks, as well as some gifts....

Packing cookies

I have developed a super-wonderful way to pack cookies to send then to the other side of the world. You take two cookies, place them flat sides together, and wrap them gently in a piece of plastic wrap, with enough wrap to kind of pad the cookies on both sides. Then take these little cookie-twins in a gallon zip-lock bag and surround them on either side with either shredded paper or plastic bags, zip it up, and you are good to go.

I wasn't sure that this really worked, but I just got a package...

A Half-Hour Well Spent

Posted by Aprille on Saturday, February 28, 2009, In : Army Life

If anyone desires to know more about what Army life is really like, I would recommend standing in line for a half hour at the on-post post office. What you can learn there will give you more insight than even possibly the most well-written book on the subject.

I knew when I drove into the parking lot it would be a long wait. But, as I'm now a free woman with nothing to do but things like cleaning, laundry, and waiting in line at the post office, I didn't groan or panic. I simply picked up my p...

I'm up late, again! Making websites can be so much fun.

I spent Thanksgiving with Russell's family in North Carolina. It was a quick trip that I wish could have lasted longer, but my full-time job kept me from taking any additional time off of work. It was great to make my "debut" into the Donaldson family, getting to meet a few aunts and uncles, and spend some good quality time with Russell's parents and brother.

I'll be spending Christmas here at home, which is sad, but I'm trying to stay re...
