Today I put together AJ's last package. It included a new cell phone wrapped as a birthday present and just a few St. Patrick's Day things and some Easter candy. It felt so good to close the last box, fill out the last customs form, and say good-bye to that long address! Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a reminder that anyone wanting to send anything for his birthday needs to get it out by March 1st. That is AJ's cut off since he will be advanced party out of Iraq! I heard that the first group back(the group not with AJ) will send their advanced party out by the first of March. That just sounds wonderful, because I know AJ won't be to far behind. It will be hard to watch the other Marines come home because they all left here together, but we will get our turn soon enough after. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
