All this does is make me miss him all the more. Good thing is now he can recieve packages!!! So I'm off tomorrow to bake some goodies and grab a few things to send him. I remember when my dad was in Saudi Arabia for Desert Storm, Tabasco sauce (for the bland food) and Homemade goodies were very high on the list! We use to send my dad a package of 5-6 bottles of Tabasco, and all the guys in his troop would pay dearly for a bottle from him. So he became the popular one. And my mom and I would always bake goodies and ship them once a month to him. He use to tell us how the squad would gather round the box when he got one, because they always knew it was something good! Don't worry Nick, I got you covered!
XOXO

my BIL spent a year in Iraq and we'd sent of care packages every other month or so (I would have done it more often, but DANG was postage PRICEY!!). High on his list were baby wipes (no real opportunities for decent showers were he was at), fly swatters (the bug problem was pretty severe), polaroid film (so he could send home pictures from time to time), and FOOD. I made LOTS of chocolate chip cookies stored in those food-saver bags so they'd stay super fresh.
He surely does look young in that picture, but I think he looks pretty determined and proud as well.
You're such a dork Cin...he doesn't look young...he looks HOT and determined and oooo I love a man in uniform. I wonder if I could buy one of dim der uniforms for J.......nevermind. LMAO! :) Enjoy baking...remember they are for him! =>
