Last Wednesday, I got the chance to chat with J. online for a while. He had been pretty anxious about for me to receive a present he had sent me while traveling back at the end of February. I assumed it'd be something from his lay over in Ireland or the pair of jeans I'd liked while we were shopping at Banana Republic. We were in the middle of discussing why the packaged hadn't arrived when the FedEx truck pulled up in front of my house. I was ecstatic and asked J. to call my phone so I could go open it. I was shocked when a 20 lb box was carted out and onto my porch. I opened it with the enthusiasm of a child on Christmas. And there it was the coffee maker we'd talked about for maybe 5 minutes at Bed Bath and Beyond a few weeks before. How does he know these things?Monday, March 15, 2010
My new toy!

About Me
- Cassi Slone
- I began writing J during his deployment. We had never met, but had many mutual friends and lived just down the road from each other our whole lives. We "met" for the first time during his R&R but were already well acquainted from writing each other and phone calls. We're now facing the next 4 months apart developing our relationship. I look forward to the day he comes home to me and we can face the world-- together this time.
