Box From Iraq


Wow! Guess what we got? Our friend, Beth, has been stationed in Iraq for some time now. Thankfully, she is very, very close to coming home and being back together with Mark and Merrilee. We cannot wait. We know how much they miss being apart. We are so happy for them. We couldn't believe that she thought enough of us to take time out of her busy life in the middle of Iraq to send us something. She sent Billy and I both a mug and a travel bag. She also included several gifts in there for Kassidy but the one Kassidy liked the best was definitely the stuffed animal. At first, she looked at it as if to say "Hmmm....never seen a stuffed animal quite like this....then slowly began to explore and finally fell madly in love with it. For the next few days, everywhere she went the camel was sure to go. It went on car trips to Walmart, to the breakfast table, to bed, and it even got a piggyback ride from Billy which I thought was funny since they are usually the ones giving rides. Boy does this camel have it made! I thought that was the most halarious thing ever! Thanks Beth for thinking of us and we cannot wait to see the first blog you guys post when you get home and get to hold your little girl and your husband for the first time in a long time. Take Care!
