LOVE the staples button, and the commercials are so funny right now. I know that you both will get through this with that attitude and humor! And baby just have to get used to the kissing sound for now, haha! Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Ya it depends on the spouse support for each unit I have learned are diffrent ... Our unit in New York was kinda all over and I am not sure about this unit we have only been here since late March. but they seem to be a little more involved . I started collecting the Winnie the Pooh stuff expecialy Eyore Piglet I love going to the Disney stores that are in our mall.

I here ya on the single mom thing I was one for 5 years before I got with my hubby ...We take alot of family trips when we can we havent been to disneyland with the kids yet we are hoping to take them next year this last couple years our family trips have been driving back and forth from New York to Oregon every summer.. and we had a blast with that stoping at everything along the way... but know that we are in Washington we hope to get to Disneyland soon :) ,,, Fun things to send to hubby .. I made theme boxes for my hubby any time I could send him something .. something to do with a close holiday or maybe a movie box with a DVD and a bag of the flav already made popcorn and some candy .. not chocolate tho HA HA that will melt fast. I also got online when I was looking at ideas .. just type in Theme carepackage Ideas and things will come up.

Hi!! its good to find another military wife on this .. We have been in the Army 4 years and have gone threw a "few" deployments !! I really havent hide any emotions from my kids threw this deployment we have gone threw this together all the tears and angery moments. They have learned some days are better then others and that is ok it can be hard to have to go on with our there Dad around and some times they feel like its unfair that other kids have there dad and theres is gone. and we sit down as a family and talk about and and the kids keep a journal while he is gone so he dosent miss a thing and if its a " big thing" we take a pic and take it to the journal entry. You will relize if it wasnt for the kids us wives would go nuts:) I am on this off and on we just moved again to on base housing we are stationed at Ft Lewis Washington we just came from Ft Drum New York ... but email me anytime I have yahoo also staysafesoldier@yahoo.com take care Mary

Hi, just checking up on you today, how are things going? Hugs! Michelle

We hosts are having a wonderful time meeting new Disney Family members and making new friends. :) About rearranging your stickers in your profile, the only way I know of is to delete the ones you have and add them again in the order in which you want them to appear. Or, if you don't care what order they are in, just delete the stickers that are above the ones lost in the middle of the sticker window. However, on your signature (the link is at the bottom of your profile sticker window), you can drag and drop stickers to suit your fancy. If you have any other questions, just give us a holler! :)

As far as what to pack, you know men! Mine lives like a bachelor, despite the fact that I bought him EVERYTHING he needed to live in comfort. When I went to visit him, he hadn't even unpacked most of the items I bought for him, so I set up house for him, lol. He just kept saying that he didn't need all of that stuff. He had pictures displayed, and the essentials, but that was about it, so I'd just follow your husbands lead on that with a couple of sweet extras, the onesie is cute, his favorite snack, maybe try to get some others advice, since my husband is the bare essentials kind, :). Thanks for your replies, I need to go pick up my daughter from school, I'll be back on in a little while. Enjoy your time together, tell your husband thanks from us, and our prayers are with you all! Talk to you soon!

I see you said that you were in basic, that's great, you know the ins and outs of the military, so you have a better understanding. I also see that you're in San Antonio, my husband and I honeymooned there, :). We had been stationed at Ft. Hood when we married. His name is Rob also, by the way, :). I am fortunate to live near family, so that helps a great deal, but like I said, use the family support group to get out when you can. You can start by inviting some of the other moms over, maybe. I wish I was closer, :(. The good thing is with a baby, you'll be plenty busy, the bad thing is, with a baby, you'll be plenty busy. Take lots of pictures and make a scrapbook for your husband, it would be a nice addition to the sharing journal. Sounds like you are preparing, that will help. I'm sorry that you have to go through this. My husband is in the Army, he is an SFC, (E-7), and is a career manager. (cont.)
