Its been while since I posted anything here. I have been so tired lately, I haven't even turned o my lappy. I have been so consumed with this care package for the soldiers, and now I really need to tell you what is happening. I wish i could personally share this happiness I am feeling with all of you. It is sort of like I felt when i did the breast cancer walk last summer.
I was thinking about this last night on the way to work. If you are lucky enough, you get to a point ti your life where stuff is no longer making you happy. We have gotten to the point where we can pretty much do what we want. We have fun bla bla bla. But now, I am needing something more and I have found it. I think. At least for now I am so freaking happy I just want to cry. It started with an idea that I vocalized to a friend. She said it was a great idea and we should do it. That night, I kept repeating the idea and everyone agreed it would be a great idea to send a giant care We are now sending the giant care package to a group of soldiers. They are our soldiers. they left out of Lodi California, which is just north of us. right now they are in the Sunni Triangle. Hopefully they will get to come home in May.
We were given alistst of things they need and would like to get. they cant get the normal stuff we have and can get our hands on every day. Anywaythyeey had a special request for dvdVD player since thedidntn't have one. Well, they are gettingdvdDVD player and a hopefully a stereo surround sound system.didntdn't know it, but a collection was started to buy the system for them. also, anther person plans on having a gift drive for them christmastmasdidtnidn't know waihapppeningening. I just thought it was the care package. It has grown legs and is taking off. i am just so happy, you jdontdon't know. I am going to have a few thank you notes to fill out for this in the end.
I want to get their names and possibly email address so we can write to them. One of the ladies on first shift wants to make a basket and a quilt and write a letter. I want to make sure they all christmastmas cards, birthday cards, what ever they need. and guess what,dontdon't have to pay for the shipping for all of this. someone is going to pick it up, pack it and ship it for us. We truelyruly been blessed.
OK, onto other stuff. real quickdontdon't know if any of you heard they other night we had a 5.4 earthquake. it may have bee 5.6, I cant remember. We live in the central valleydont don't usually feel them, well, we felt that one for sure. the center was in San Jose, which is quite a ways away. maybe about 60 miles. It shook my house up and down and I heard and felt the whole thing. It only lasted about a 2 or 3 seconds here, but that was enough. it scared the crap out of me. Its been so long since I felt those thindontI don't know how much damage was done at the center, wasntt wasn't mhasntit hasn't really even been on the news too much. Wow, I just heard another quake hit Yosemite Park this morning. it was on the news for about three sentences.
