I hope everyone is having a wonderful winter break and enjoying the winter wonderland :). I received two wonderful packages yesterday from MouseWaiters. This is one fantastic community of people. I don't know where to start because I was at a loss for words when I received them. I guess I can start with saying thank you DuckieFan2, Disneygirl19, Jon, and Sadie for preparing the individual stockings for everyone in my unit, as well as the Preschool and Elementary School class for writing letters and drawings for all of us to enjoy. It really means a lot for us that you took the time out of your busy schedules to put together these wonderful stockings full of goodies :). Wendi (I can't remember your MW name sorry lol), Angela, and Girl Scout Troop 10003, thank you very very much for the support and I was literally awestruck when I read that the Troop worked to raise the money to purchase the items to send. I shared with the guys over here and they felt extremely grateful to have such a dedicated bunch to make us feel at home and comfortable. We are all grateful for the stockings and the time everyone took out of their busy day to bring us the holiday cheer. Thank you MWAJBB for the wonderful family picture you sent. I have it posted up in our work center along with the booklet that the Preschool and Elementary class made for us to enjoy. We're reminded everyday that we have supporters back home that wish us the best and want us to have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Goofy Joe, thank you very much for the Mouse Wait sticker, Grape Soda pin, and Birthday Pin. I really wish I was able to attend the birthday before I left. Even though I wasn't there, I was there in spirit, and everyone knew it. Twinklelashes, thank you very much for the bread. All I need now is to get a bit of egg nog or milk to make it the perfect Christmas Eve/Midnight snack :). I'll be back soon and post a lot of pics from the parks again hahaha. Duckiefan, thank you for everything!! You'll meet me in the parks soon when I get back. I'm not hard to miss lol. PinTrader, PinTradersWife, and the PinTrader Family, it really makes me feel great knowing that there's someone out there praying for me. Thank you for time to share your words of strength and support at my Going Away meet up. ThatGuyFrom858, TiggerTwin, Bubbaloo, MoonWillow and Family, MWAJBB and family, and ImTheGrumpyOne, I appreciate the time you took to sign the card along with the other MWers. The support and good wishes are really appreciated and heart warming :). I haven't forgotten about everyone else here who has supported me from the time I found out and announced I was leaving. I miss everyone and hope to see you all when I get back! I wish you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year :D!

Yahoo! I am glad the package made it safe and sound! I delayed sending the package to you till after the SD Meetup so I could get a card signed and collect the extra MWer goodies to send to you. I can't take credit for the preschool booklet or the kids cards, they were actually gathered by a friend of a friend who heard what I was doing. And the MW sticker was actually given to me by Gia0330, but I RAKed it forward, my husband (ex-military) thought it would look good displayed on a piece of equiptment. Anyhoo ((((hugs)))) stay safe and healthy! Please tell all 15 of your compadres thank you again from the Olson family! Love and Peace :-) - PrincessDuckie  587.8 #187 11:11AM

Gia, I actually sent Zapa the MWer sticker you gave me. I hope you don't mind I RAKed it forward. My hubby (Navy) thought it would look good on a piece of equiptment or vehicle on the other side of the world. Then MW would be Zapa always :-) - PrincessDuckie  587.8 #187 11:16AM
