Surprise Package

Block Leave is over and everyone is busy with last minute preps. TB was surprised to find a package from me when he went to the post office on Tuesday. When he was in Iraq I learned that he loves oatmeal raisin cookies and banana bread. About a week before Block Leave the topic came up and I decided then to make some as a surprise. I wasn't sure the timing would be right, but apparently it was. I'm thrilled about that. He was so surprised and happy! I feel as if I've been able to do something for him during this time of intense last minute preparations. In doing that, I may have been the one who benefitted the most.
