Some days we are thrilled to be in the process of separating from the Army, but days like today make me think they do everything they can to keep you in. While today was primarily frustrating, we had two huge trunks full of blessings.
Kevin picked up two trunks (and I do mean trunks, they are about 5x2x3 ft.) today full of the things people had sent him during his fifteen months in Iraq. Cards from people that are close to us who had encouraged him, pictures from his parents and from me, and some unused gift cards because the internet connection was so sparse in his last months.
If it wasn't enough for the trunks to be full of great memories, books, and pictures, the boys loved playing on them.
Ha ha. When Stan brought his home, he put one on top of the other in our little living room and Wesley ran lap around them for 20 minutes. And it IS weird to see how big Ronin is getting!
