Letters From Tim

I have not felt compelled nor comfortable speaking for anyone but myself during this deployment. We all have varying religious and political beliefs, we raise our children differently, and we might not even have the same interests. However, I am confident about one thing…that the wives of all the soldiers coming home are getting goosebumps (a.k.a The Chills) thinking about seeing our husbands for the first time.

I was running this morning…and even though I was hot and sweaty…I got goosebumps with the thought of seeing Tim. Goosebumps must be contagious because when I have told several people that Tim was finally on U.S. soil they said. “Oh my gosh…I just got the chills.”

I haven’t heard definitively but I am counting on early next week for their arrival HOME! I am also counting on a hangar full of GOOSEBUMPS!

Special thanks to…Kathy Blackburn for the quick-put-it-in-the-oven-dinner. Julie Hole for the enormous bowl of cookies (she is crazy and sweet). Tiffany Dunbar for watching the kids while I got beautified (haircut/highlight). Alfega for letting us drop in on their backyard munchies. The military wives for the updates via email and phone. Oh…and thanks to all of those that have emailed me with links to “cups”. Looks like I will be making a trip to “Dick’s” today. Nate for having us over so that we could hang out and I could run. The Alcock’s for doing the bulk of the carpooling to and from baseball practice.
