3 Calls, 2 Kitty Battles and 1 Smart Cookie

Dear Brett,
We have been incredibly lucky and blessed with how much you have been able to call! 3 times already and you've only been gone 2.5 weeks. I was happy with the information that you were able to give me today. No one else in your company has been able to call home at all! And even though the last 2 calls were to get me set up on insurance, you did something special to deserve the privilege of calling home the first time. I can't wait for you to tell me what it was that you did in your letter that I will get next week! I'm so proud of you!

Dear Texas Army Bases,
Why must everything be so difficult with you? The first office that is close to me doesn't have any ID cards and gave me 2 numbers for the base in Fort Worth an hour away. It took me 3 hours to get a hold of anyone at all, and when I did, the first appointment available was 2 weeks away! I can't wait that long, so I've been calling the other office with no luck and will probably have to be there at 7:30 tomorrow morning and hope that I don't have to wait 4 hours to get my ID card. Ugh.

Dear Oreo Cakesters,
Why must you be so delicious? I'm trying really hard not to think of you constantly - because if I do I will inevitably eat more. I'm trying really hard. It's not working very well.

Dear Kennedy,
I cannot believe that you counted to 10 all by yourself yesterday and only skipped the number 5! I don't know when it's normal for kids to be able to count by themselves, but you've been counting up a storm the past 2 days and I am thoroughly impressed.

Dear Lost,
You are much too confusing. I still love you though and will be watching next week in hopes of getting more answers. I'm sure they won't come.

Dear Kitties,
Stop having kitty battles under my bed in the middle of the night! It sounds horrible and it scares me awake. Please just get used to each other already! Seriously, Lucy's been here for 3 weeks. Deal with it.

I'm so glad you have heard from Brett so often even though the conversations aren't long. At least you know he's doing well! I know I've told you 100 times how much I love these posts, I will have to try it one day if I can think of something creative like you! We miss you guys!

LOST is, for the first time, truly annoying me. I have always been a defender of the confusing plots, but now I'm just annoyed. However, I TOO look forward to the next episode
