To my surprise I received a surprise package in the mail from AJ. He had mentioned to me that he had ordered something for me, but I somewhat bypassed that thought and forgot about it. Until low and behold the UPS man is knocking at my door (and then running away like playing ding-dong-ditch...which I found weird). When I opened the package, inside was a sweatshirt. When I finally got it out of the plastic it was wrapped in, I just had to laugh. It was a 49ers sweatshirt. I laughed because the 49ers are AJ's favorite NFL team, and I had told him that because I didn't have an NFL team that I was a fan of, I would be a good wife and take his side to cheer on his team. So now that I have a sweatshirt to wear, I suppose the term "fan" is official! :)
The other 'official shipment' deals with AJ and the National Guard soldiers. They have officially been shipped out of the country, so now the 'real' part of the deployment will begin. Please continue to keep him in your prayers for strength as the 9 1/2 hour time change is going to be quite an adjustment, and patience as they will now be in new surroundings once again. I have placed a clock set to Afghanistan time on this blog page if anyone is curious. As always, your prayers and encouragement so far has been greatly appreciated! :)
