I was scrolling through my “us” tumblr page recently and it was like taking a trip down cyber memory lane. While doing so, I happened upon an Easter care package I’d made for Timmy back in 2012. He was so excited to get it and it was pretty fun to make!!
I basically made it an egg hunt in a box. There were regular Easter eggs and football eggs filled with candy, some of his favorite candies (war heads) scattered about, his favorite cereal (Cinnamon Toast Crunch), a stuffed bunny, little notes and a card from me. All on top of Easter “grass.”
I’ve also realized that life is like an egg hunt — you never definitively know what will come of your choices and experiences. We pick our eggs hoping to get a yummy candy or money from our choice, just as we hope with the life choices we make. Being a long distance military spouse all these years (especially around the holidays) has had its challenges but Skype, a great support system, and Tim have made the distance seemingly disappear at times.
Cheers to our last Easter apart!
Hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

That is such an awesome box! 🙂 So fun!
