Army and no sandbox this year THANK GOD!!!... he'll be home for Christmas, as long as the weather doesn't screw up his travel because it's close... but thank you both... I wanted to order him the 6 month sampler... but that is a no go on my budget... so I'm reminding myself that I have a job and thankful that I can spend $85 on 4 pizzas and get them shipped to VA and have them waiting for him...
I also got him a GPS watch, a bunch of running gear (complete with bodyglide), and some Bears and Cubs stuff... we had one heck of a year and I think we are both trying to over-do Christmas to make up for it. Plus I've been putting mega miles on his car while mine has stayed parked at the airport for most of the last few months so I feel a little guilty.
