Ralls County 4H (Vandalia, New London, Center....area 4H) sent us the greatest box! It was full of personal hygiene stuff, books, socks (even pretty ones for Katara!) hair pretties, chapstick (which Kane is IN LOVE WITH) food & snacks, art supplies (which we ALWAYS need!) beautiful home-made cards (which I just sent out my first one!) and much much more!
I can't even begin to express out thanks for the wonderful things have come to us from our hometown community! The prayers, coupons, boxes, emails... we appreciate all of this so much! At the same time it makes us sad for all of the soldiers, marines, airmen, seamen, national guard, coast guard, and gov't contractors... who don't get support from their communities and families. Justin really does love his job, yeah it stinks that he is pulled away from us at times sometimes for days, weeks and even months, luckily so far it hasn't been year(s) but a lot of our friends have geo-bached it for 12 months or longer. He loves what he does and what it stands for, or maybe he loves the vacation, the "work", or the gypsy lifestyle!?! Our family has go to experience and see so much due to this job, well it's not really a job so much as a way of life huh?
In closing my words of thankfullness are so inadequate but thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, it's nice to know we aren't forgotten and that we are supported. Thanks ou again!
