Lotsa Boxes!!!

I've been Sending boxes like crazy to Kyle.  I know it makes him feel like he's not completely missing out on everything here.  His biggest request has been food, mostly chili and fritos, BREAD and candy!  It takes about 3 weeks for him to get anything so I try to send 2 boxes a week.  They started out big boxes full of everything I could think of, but that got really expensive.  Not that money is any object in providing some part of home for him, but they would also get pretty beat up and sometimes some of the stuff was smashed so bad chips became dust.  So I went down to the "if it fits it ships" boxes!  These are awesome- I ordered 10 to begin with and they are delivered right to my house for no charge!  I get the large ones so I try to cram as much into them as I can!  The kids send him funny stuff, draw pictures and write him notes!  I send real picures as well so he can see how much they've grown!  I've found some great websites that will ship directly to APO addresses that are fantastic.  Just a few are Military food  and Hickory Farms 

As Much as Kyle loves getting these boxes from friends and family, he also says that some of the guys there get nothing.  That breaks my heart,  these Men are serving our country to protect our freedom and I think deserve to get something special no matter who its from or what it is,  just the smallest thing will brighten their day! 

This is what My kitchen looks like on a daily basis!!!

okay so I don't send the Women's Day magazines but I do send some magazines and newspapers!

I love sending these boxes because I know it puts a smile on my loved ones face, as well as his fellow men,  It really helps boost morale with all of them I'm so thankful that I'm able to do this as often as I do,  I hope you all will think to send a box or 2 as well!
