snail mail

i just want to start by saying *andrew is coming home next week!* the guys are supposed to start their trip home tomorrow! i'm so excited and happy they're all getting back safely... and we'll always remember the ones that did not. our fallen heroes.

but moving on to a lighter note, i got mail today... and it was a lot. a few of the guys went ahead and mailed their "trunks" (all their stuff) here to our house until they figure out whether they're going to stay on base or not. so i got two big trunks today. it just gave me an awesome reality check that they're not far from home. all i could do was smile! but the two that arrived are only from one of the guys so i have a lot more to look forward to! and then to top it off, i got some snail mail from kath. a cute little card, but it meant the world... i love getting little "thinking of you" things. it gives me a boost. thank you kath, i loved it!

so today i cleaned. not a whole lot, but it's a work in progress. i have to have it done before andrew gets home of course, so i better get crackin'. also, the wives make posters to take when the guys arrive and i'm trying to think of something clever to put on mine... let me know if you have any ideas.

last night was awesome, i loved hanging out with the girls! i'm so happy we all get along so well, i was getting scared there for a minute about actually making friends here. but they're hilarious! and of course the gamecocks won! so that just made the night that much better! i headed home around 12am. of course i have insomnia, so i finally took at nap at 9am, woke up at 12pm. hopefully i will crash tonight and get back on schedule.

i'll keep this one short today, not really too much to tell. i'm going to go throw together something to call dinner and hit the hay!

have a good night!
