i loved the race stuff! i would love the girlie stuff too, but we have a hard time wearing it without getting in trouble, anytime were in public we have to be in uniform....we can wear those pants...the PJs you sent are awesome! we played the wii in em last night! but sleeping is really the only time we have to wear some stuff. so the girlie stuff is great, but we would have a hard time wearing it.

lets see....sizes....Dee would prolly be a LG/ Em would be a SM/ Rad would be a SM/ and id prolly be a MED.

lets see...suggestions....the Nerds were a HUGE hit...in fact, i think they are all gone. we love M&Ms...and the pants were great, its like walking around in bed because they are so soft LOL.

we had the greatest idea, and are going to keep it a surprise but i also threw in a picture of a sunset i took back in november, and then the other picture is of the sun, and how nasty it gets here sometimes...for the most part u can look straight at the sun without it hurting ur eyes because its so sandy...i know its not smart..but its weird lol. well hopefully they go through!

Ms Tina, About washing stuff we will have to hand wash the pants instead of having the people wash them for us, because they really don’t do a good job, seems our clothes come back looking worse than when we turned them in, so we will for sure take care of these pants! yes for the most part the PXs over here sell a bunch of stuff that’s not military issued, a lot of it runs out as soon as its stocked...it seems they always stock close to pay day...and thats when we get the long lines and run out of stuff...LOL which reminds me of this funny story when me and my friend were sharing shampoo because the px didnt have any. we have one px here on *******, and one shoppette on ******. but the "mail PX" is about 30 mins away over on ********. awesome! my mom was telling me about nationals this season, they got bumped back because a big event is going on at bandimere. i should just be getting done with deployment and coming back to the states around then.

well my eyes are burning, im exhausted and i gotta wake up in 6 hours, so i better get goin. talk to ya in the AM take it easy!

Subject: Got things fixed
From now on the blogs will be much shorter and for some reason the blog doesn't like the black background. Now me personally I think it is totally cool and wish I knew how to do it.
That aside do you want some laundry detergent like woolite? I think they make powder or individual travel packets but as far as that is concerned the PJ are on massive discount, last night they cut the price in half again. It's probable easier to send another set. Same with the robes. or if you want different colors they come in red, black and gray. I was thinking least target proof. lol
I studied in Russia back in 1988 when my Christian college had a international Business course over the summer so I know about supply side economics. Good stuff goes first then left with the cr*p.. I will send another box, use what you like barter away the extra. Got to love it a little America economics working world round.
My schedule so far is June 18-20 Denver Divisional , July 4th race at Bandimere Speedway, and then the NHRA National July 23-25 Denver national. Now if your back by then we can put you in the car on a test day as a Licensing run. with very little paperwork. I will be going to Fort Carson in June and could probable make arrangements ahead of time to make it a fun day for some of special care guys from Fort Carson. I'll talk with John Bandimere (Sporty) and see what we can do. who knows you just stay safe. Did I send you they Psalm 91 books? If not I will send some more really read those. All three of you. the book is really just the first half but it will open your eyes to some things you may not have even thought about. I will send you my copy cause I have it hightlighted and stuff when I find it.
Time is running out today. and would like to get this package mailed. Keep letting me know what is a hit and what is a miss. It is fun sending stuff when you know it's appreciated. Over here we are so spoiled we wine if we have to wait a few minutes to get something. Most Americans have no idea what it is like to have to do without. Me included.
Thanks again for all you do.
Tina

oh shoot...so it wont work because the background is black? i think all you have to do is copy and paste the txt to word and that should fix it. i'll just send plain emails with no background from now on so it doesnt mess up. on my yahoo right next to the email window, it has a little section on the side where you can pick different back grounds, they are kinda cute.
oh no thanks, my mom sends us tide...they usually dont allow us to put soap in our laundry bags...but our stuff doesnt come back clean if we dont, so we do it anyway. we have to mix the soap with water in a spray bottle and spray our clothes down before we turn em in lol...a perfect example of the difference between here and home! oh my...we would love more of those pants! u should have seen all three of us girls runnin around the room with those pants on last night! i gave the third pair to my friend taylor, the cupcake ones....so now we call her cupcake, its got a lil humor in it. and oh yes...target is great for that kind of stuff!

oh wow russia, ive never been there. I had a friend that came to the US when i was in middle school from russia, we had to teach her how to speak english & it wasnt easy! lol... Yup usually all the good stuff goes first... but we control it pretty well.

oh dang so you will be in colorado quite a few times in july! we will hopefully get home between the very end of june/ beginning of july. My lil bro is racing in the nationals so my family will be there the same time as you. im not sure just yet if i will make it up there in time...we say nothing is ever final in the military until you see it happen. we hopefully *fingers crossed* i can make it. if not...thats ok too, there are plenty of races lol. yup my main focus has to stay the mission for right now to make sure i come home safely. yup you did send thoes books, my friend saw it and went oooh ooh i need that! and over here you go through alot of...ehh i dunno how to explain it...god tests you we will just say that, so were gonna try to start a bible study. so that helps alot, more than you know.

thats the first thing i noticed when we got in country is the difference between what we have at home, and what we have had to adapt to doing here. like hot showers, brushing ur teeth in a bathroom vs. outside with a water bottle...etc. so yes we are extremely lucky back home, and now i understand why other countries dislike us lol....because we have so much and take it all for grandit. It might take me a lil longer to send the flag, but im lookin for some cool stuff that i can hurry and send in a box. take care!
