Absurd!!!

Court orders father of dead marine to pay the legal costs for the Westboro Baptist Church who protested his sons funeral!

There are no words to express how much is wrong with these people in this "church". They frequently protest soldier's funerals and hold signs that say "Thank God for Dead Soldiers". I don't know who their god is but I know mine would not wish death upon soldiers or the sorrow that their families feel for the rest of their lives.

This group was the reason why the Patriot Guard Riders was founded. They form a barrier around the funeral and hold American flags to keep the protesters away.

Please spread the word about this injustice and pray that this ruling gets appealed.

Easter 2010

As you can see the Easter Bunny stops everywhere :)

In addition to Easter 2009 ideas here are some fresh ones:

• if your soldier is religious you can send them items in order to help them celebrate this time of year
  
• they sell little egg shaped cupcake tins and you can decorate them like real eggs
• send items that your soldier can pass out to the local children and act as the Easter Bunny even though it is not celebrated overseas
• make a basket that does NOT include candy- think of other items that might be enjoyed like books, magazine, music, or a photo album

Any other suggestions? Feel free to comment! I'm a little rusty on the ideas!

Its Been Awhile- A Long While

Its been brought to my attention that Ive fallen off the blogosphere and I apologize! Life has been CRAZY for the last few months. Here is a recap:
bought a house
moved into house
car got totaled while parked in front of house
bought new car
work
wedding stuff
running a bit

but most importantly I will get back to carepackaging!

My soldier's angel has returned home and after the wedding i will sign up for a new one.

In other news Dan has made it on the PA National Guard Marathon team and will be competing for a spot on the All Guard Team 13 days before our wedding! I am very excited to see how this turns out!

Well I'm out for now and Easter is coming up... lets see what I can think of to spice up last year's package
