well Brandon didn't get to call yesterday :( I had such high hopes, but a call never came. So, now all I can hope for is that he was able to write and I will get something in the mail this week. Sitting around waiting for his call was awful, so I decided to hang up all our picture frames from the wedding I filled a few weeks ago, and the engagement pictures Allie framed for us at my bridal shower. well i shouldn't say all, because there is a whole aparments worth of pictures, and hanging them all up in my little room at my parents would be quite ridiculous. but I am really pleased with how the wall above the bed looks now. Its like a headboard of pictures. Then after dinner I made devils food cupcakes with white frosting - I added a package of cheesecake pudding to the batter, and they turned out super fluffy, moist, and delicious! granted compared to cupcakes other people make I'm sure they are just average, but they are probably the best I, personally have ever made. Anyway, hopefully I will have a brandon update soon - cross your fingers!
Ok - well after checking the mail I thought I should update this. I got a letter from Brandon! Well its more of a form letter with his address and a list of things we can't send him, with a small note on the back for me saying things are going well so far, and asking me to pray for him because this is going to be rough. :(
but here is his address so you can write him. I know any encouragement would be greatly appreciated:
Judd, Brandon R.
B CO 2-46 INF (Bldg 3520)
2 Platoon, RN# 244
9697 2nd Armored Div. RD
FT Benning, GA 31905-4769
then on the back in the middle bottom (under the point of the flap) write:
ROSTER # 244
if you have questions I can send you a picture of what he sent me.
oh and this is the list of things we cannot send him:
any type of food
civilian reading material (except for religious text)
firearms of any kind, knives, swords
civilian clothing
medication of any kind prescription or non prescription
cameras
tabacco, caffeine products
and of course any type of pornographic materials
audio or visual tapes
stuffed animals and/or dolls
plants (alive or fake)
liquid of any sort
so basically you may want to just not send anything cuz if they decide it is on this list they destroy it before he even gets it.
Yes, Fingers DEFINITELY crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteSO....what can we send him?
ReplyDeleteSorry Shelli - I added the list of things we can't send. it covers basically anything you could want to send him, so its probably just easiest to wait. I asked him if there was anything he needed in the last letter I sent, so if he asks for soemthing I can let you know :)
