Words With Friends, and other stuff.

I want to let you in on a little secret: I am OBSESSED with Words With Friends. I love that game! I have coerced the lobster into playing with me, and it has sort of become one of our "things". Some of this is because I don't know enough people who play it. So if you're reading this...play Words With Friends and then search for me!!! If you can't find me, let me know. We'll connect. I promise. Prepare for a throw down! HAHA!

As I sit here writing, my six year old daughter, is enjoying a leisurely read of the Army Times. The sight was so funny to me that I could barely stop laughing. I am always struck by her intelligence and her desire to understand. She has such wisdom and insight at such a young age. It really astounds me.

My husband's deployment afghan is almost complete. I am starting into the planning, creating, and presentation of his deployment package. This entity is quite lengthy. I usually write him enough letters to open every single day, until mail can reasonably be expected to be delivered (approximately two months worth). Included in this envelope are also pictures, foot and hand prints (of the kids), momentous occasions, and a few personal things. This has been a tradition with us for every single one of his deployments. I still have the contents of each previous package (yes...all four of them). He saves them all and brings them home. It's actually really neat to read through the letters. I love the reminders of where my mind was at each of those times.

It's been a wonderful weekend, laced with tidbits of sadness, but strung together with enormous amounts of joy and peace. I am so thankful for all the beautiful gifts I have been blessed with. :) Happy Sunday!
