{update: see below}

The phone rang at 0730 this morning. My heart leapt, I had forgotten today is Saturday. I knew it was Joel, and I jumped to get the phone, selfishly cheering all the way that the kids were still asleep and I’d get to keep him all to myself. I love talking to him. It’s not quite as nice as holding him, but I’ll take what I can get.

This marks a week since my last ‘I miss Joel’ post. Yep, still miss him. The good news is, we’re half way done.

A few people have asked me what Joel would like to receive in a care package. Well here are a few ideas:

Marshmallow Rice Krispie treats
Twinkies
Pringles in the plastic container (others won’t fair so well)
Other non-chocolate snacks that don’t melt (very important right now until October)
DVDs

I think he really wants the stuff on his Amazon Wish List too.

Email me if you need his address.
