{ letters from home }

I have been working on something special for my husband who is currently deployed. His birthday is coming up next month. Since he can't be here to celebrate with us, I want to send him a little piece of home. I hope he doesn't read this before his b-day gets here!!! Just in case he does....I love you Sweetie and I miss you dearly. Hope you have a wonderful birthday! XOXO
