Mail

One of the best things that can happen when you're deployed is getting a package. Nothing brightens your day like being told you have mail. Luckily, I have a wonderful wife and family that sends me lots of goodies. I've been really excited for mail call lately, especially since our office (known as the ROC, Retrograde Operations Center), pitched in for a Keurig coffee machine. Unfortunately, that didn't arrive today, but my K-cups I ordered and a box from JP arrived.

 

 

It's always good to get some sweets in the mail. There was a bag of Reese's peanut butter eggs in there, but I passed those around the office (after I froze them to get them back to a solid state). If I keep a whole bag of those, I WILL eat them all.

 

And yes. That's a pink ped-egg for my feet. My feet get pretty rough on the bottom from walking around all the time!

 

Most importantly, I'm ecstatic to have a new par of shoes. I already have 2 pairs here, but due to the mud, they are not in the greatest shape. This pair won't see the light of day until it dries up out there. I don't want to step in a mud hole again at night. Don't need my new shoes to look like this guy:

 

 

 

 

Last but not least, JP sent me a digital camera. I use to have to take them with my phone and pull them off that via Bluetooth. What a pain. Much easier with a real camera!

 

Thank you JP for all the wonderful surprises! I love you!
