28 Jun 09 Cleaning day

...that is prety much my whole day today!!! I missed breakfast and lunch :) I got 2 more gorilla boxes packed and I am pretty much ready to go home...I still have to move my "suitcase and toliteries" in with Ro and then sweep and mop my floor :) just one more day closer to going home :) did I mention that you should not walk outside in the gravel and sand when the temp is 122 degrees:( not sure what I was thinking {evidently I was NOT} and now the balls of my feet are a little sore!!! oh well, lesson learned! I got to talk to Matt and the kids for almost 2 hours today! Abby talked to me more today then she has the whole time I have been gone! it was pretty cute!!!

so I picked up the stuff I had embroidered and picked up Abby's bracelet and my ring...they all turned out really nice....so my pictures of the day are the following

Ben's backpack {which the backpack was given to me by SGT Flores, the US Army patch and the untit patch were given to me by SGT K, the E-5 Crow came off of my uniform after I made E-6 and I have 1 more amerian flag patch to put on there that Beth's husband, John, gave to me today before he left to go back to Iraq}



Abby's bracelet: her name in Arabic on the front and English on the back}


My ring {all the kids names in arabic on the front and the inside of the ring spins}


My hat {has the dates I was here on it}



My holster {has my name, Camp VA Patch, American flag and Kuwait flag on it}



and this is what packed gorilla boxes look like :)YEAH...means I am going home soon !!!!
