Authority Transfer and a CUP
One of our friends, David Clements, sent this article to me tonight. I have no idea how he found it but I was grateful to read it. CLICK HERE TO READ IT ON TASK FORCE MARNE. It was great to not only to see a picture of Tim (I am so excited to see him) but to read that authority has formally been transferred (it is real and it is over).
…
On a completely separate note…although this one probably deserves its own post…Briggs told me I needed to buy a cup tonight. I clearly wasn’t understanding the type of cup he was referring to when I replied, “I’m not going out to buy any new cups. We have plenty of cups in this house.”
He said, “No…for baseball. I got hit in the balls playing catcher.”
So, once again I find myself in new territory. Do these things fit in underwear? And what if he only has boxers? Wouldn’t it fall out or are tighty whities in his future? Do they have straps? Thank goodness Tim will soon be home. It is like Tim explaining to Campbell how to use a Kotex. Some things are probably just meant for the same gender.

Hi Tiffany! I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time now and I’m so happy to hear that Tim’s mission is complete and he’s on his way home! On a side note, I laughed out loud at this last entry describing Briggs’ need for ummm…protective “gear”. Too funny!
Jodi - April 23rd, 2008 at 1:16 pmGreat pic of Tim! Especially since it’s one of him handing over the reins!
The Cup….ha ha ha ha…I’ll be telling that one at work tomorrow.
Heather - April 23rd, 2008 at 4:44 pmI had lunch with Tiffany and Nathan, and all my young ladies. Tim was back in this country about 11 am EDT. Much relieved for all of us, and I hope the little ones. I’m also thankful he didn’t get a Medal of Honor – Tim likes merit badges you know.

Continued prayers for you and your family!
Cups…wait girl knows about those???TOO FUNNY!!!
So the other day, Audrey was walking around the house with something in her hand and I glanced up to see that she was teething on her brother’s cup. That gave a whole new meaning to the words “teething biscuits”. It has straps and clasps and I think it goes on the outside of their underwear. My boys don’t wear them because their so skinny that the cups just fall down and then they look like they have some kind of growth on their upper thigh. It’s so good to “see” how you’re doing Tiffany. You are a strong woman and fun to boot.
