Care Packages

I've sent off a few care packages to Africa! 

Here's a little story from my Facebook about just how amazing the men and women are at the local Post Office:

"I want to give a shout out to Danny at the Post Office today. For taking the time to help me with my giant package to Africa while it was super busy. For thanking me and the family for loving someone in the military. For slipping that $5 into the cash register as a part of my payment. Yeah you thought I didn't notice but I did. The men and women in the postal service do not get enough credit. So thank you Danny for always being helpful and having a smile on you're face. You're very appreciated." 💙"

"Hey SPC Hull so brave and fine, will you be my Valentine?"

"Kiss me I'm Irish"

"This chick misses you!!"

Saying Goodbye to 1409

We have officially moved out of our first apartment. With more TLC it could have been a beautiful home, but the constant fighting with the landlord was not worth it especially since Jared's deployed and I was living alone.

We loved our little home, Malaki came out of his shell and actually made friends! LOL

Ranger did not enjoy his tiny yard but he did love to run up and down the stairs. We lived right across the yard from a friend of mine since kindergarten. So we spent almost every summer day with her at the pool. (which really needs work too)

We had our share of crazy as well, the "fun neighbors" who got evicted a few months after moving in. They would throw parties every night and we would always have to tell them to turn their music down. One day while Jared was away at training, I was at a neighbors house for dinner, and 5 cop cars pulled up and a fire truck. Apparently one of the guys at the "fun neighbors" house got in a drug related fight with another man and as a result was stabbed. That's when I decided I did not want to stay in that neighborhood for a year while Jared's deployed.

While moving out mom and I pulled up to a few cop cars out front of my apartment again, turns out another notorious drug dealer in the neighborhood had been caught and was going to jail. Glad to be gone.

Thank you 1409 for the memories, and the stories to tell our kids about our "crappy first apartment" together. :)

 

Try again

So I've been told I need to start blogging again. So once I'm moved out I will start again. This way I can keep everyone updated on the deployment as well. <3
