Some More Love From Home

Filed Under: Uncategorized //

Because there can never be enough, especially during a deployment.

Today, the baseball/ 4th of July care package I sent Timmy while he was deployed last summer is being featured over at Love From Home! Keep in mind that I’m not too artistic so I didn’t get overly creative until his birthday/Halloween care package… 🙂

I started thinking of care package ideas before he even left. As soon as he left, I wanted to get started on this box. I had it sent out around this time last year. Timmy really missed the U.S. and me and family so I know he loved getting packages – not only because he told me but because of his reactions each time.

My favorite find for this package were these:
 
 Even though T’s not really into sweets, I thought they were too cute to pass up!
 
Gosh, I missed him so much those months. The feelings were probably some of the most intense I’ve felt. Some days I didn’t know how I’d get through 7 months without a hand hold, a hug, a kiss from my best friend. 

Whenever I think of deployment these songs come to mind. I had them on repeat:

I almost started crying as I wrote this. Absence sure does make the heart grow fonder, though. That is for sure. 
*Cheers to seeing him in a couple months and to having him permanently with me from next summer on*
Well, what are you waiting for? Head on over to Love From Home and check my care package out!

Humor Me, Monday

Filed Under: Uncategorized //

“Good Morning! …what’s good about it? Well the good things about bar review is it doesn’t matter if it’s Monday or not… We used to hate Mondays but in bar review, everyday is a Monday.” – my lecturer last week
 
Good thing I like humor … mostly because laughing makes me feel better.
Hard work and positivity are key – all the time but especially now.

Dear Dad,

Filed Under: Uncategorized //

You are my hero. In every sense of the word. I can’t tell you how proud I am of you and how grateful I am that God kept you safe throughout your career. I beam when others speak of how impressed they are of you. And I blush when they tell me how much you gush about me… or how they know what I look like because you’ve showed everyone my picture. I reach for the stars because you and Mom have already given me the world. I know that wherever life takes me and whatever I’m doing, I can always count on you.
I love you. 
Happy Father’s Day 🙂

PS It’s a one-way ticket 😉 I’m going for a couple months but don’t just yet know when I’ll be leaving from there 🙂
 
 
 He’s precious. It’s the little things like this from 6,000 miles away that make me happy.
 
 
 
LOL 
 
 
 
 

Happy Weekend!

Get your rent on!

Filed Under: Uncategorized //

This post is sponsored by CampusBookRentals.  

 
Throughout law school I shelled out big bucks for my books. How I wish I could have rented them… Are you in school or do you know any college-goers out there? Well, I have great news for you! YOU can rent your textbooks from CampusBookRentals and save 40-90% off of bookstore prices! Oh, and don’t be worried about highlighting because you CAN highlight in the textbooks. Some other perks are:
– Free shipping both ways
– Flexible renting periods
– Contributing to Operation Smile with each textbook rented
 
Operation Smile is a charity organization for children – donate non profit
Operation Smile is a wonderful organization that works around the world to provide safe, effective and free cleft lip and cleft palate reconstructive surgery for children all over the world. Your rentals can help Operation Smile because CampusBookRentals donates to Operation Smile with each textbook rented.

Most importantly, I know living on a student budget is tough. That’s why CampusBookRentals’ new initiative, RentBack, is awesome! It that allows students to rent textbooks they own to other students. This enables you to make 2 – 4x more money compared to what you’d make through selling your books back at the end of the semester! 

CampusBookRentals has served  customers on 5,871 campuses and counting. If you’d like more information about how the awesome program works, check out this video:
