We recently shipped it from Hawaii, during our PCS, and took the day to go and pick it up. We goofed and laughed during the two hour, traffic filled drive, excited… We have two car shipping incidents. When he was stationed in England, my husband bought a new American car through a dealer on base. The car was transported from Germany and ferried across the Channel. When he went to watch them unload the car (by crane) they dropped it overboard. (It was totalled.) The second incident was when we were PCS’ing back to the States. I was 5 months pregnant and looking forward (not) to driving across the country from New Jersey to IL in our Toyota Chinook camper. When we landed at Dover and went to pick up the car, we found someone had tried to remove the stove and power inverter, so we needed to get some repairs. But it ran!

Some see the negative in everything, others the positive. If you know me on Facebook, I am a happy, easy going person who uses profanity at least once within a two-minute time period and will do… I want to be your baby’s momma in the worst way possible. Oh, you will be. Is it weird I want to be your baby daddy? I hope not since you will be. Thats just a given. Bravo, girl. Well said and well put! Mrs. Clause Must Be A Military Spouse by Candace Lindeman Faced with the prospect of spending another holiday alone, military spouses might recognize a kindred spirit this Christmas season: Mrs. Clause. She must be a military wife! (Yes, we know there’s not an “E” on the end of Santa Claus, but given the military’s penchant… Hi,Glad you enjoyed…though I did not submit the piece with the “e” on the end…and am frankly a little embarrassed it was published that way! I’ll pretend, like you, that the humor was an intentional military joke. |
