Yesterday was a pretty good day. We went to the mall so that we could go to the Cowboys Pro Shop. They were having a sale so that was good. We found a few things.
Then we went to JCPenneys to find a foam mattress pad for Dominic. He called yesterday and said that his back has been hurting pretty bad. The seats on the planes are basically jump seats. They are just nylon straps, there is no cushion at all. I am going to send him a cushion too. He also said that the beds are awful. I asked him if he wanted me to send him a mattress pad. He seemed to think that might help. So we found a nice one, Memory Foam.
We got a package from Dominic yesterday too! That was exciting. He sent Ayden a big camel with a boonie hat on. Mason got a little teddy bear with an AF shirt on. Christian got two snowglobes one from Philly and the other from Ireland. They are great. He sent me two magnets.
We ate a good dinner last night then just settled in to wait until midnight. I let Christian stay up, but Ayden was sent to bed at dinner. He fell asleep around 8:30pm. It was hard for me to stay awake until midnight...I really just wanted to go to bed. We watched the re-run of the ball drop then went to bed. Christian slept on the couch in front of the fire.
I got three emails from Dominic this morning. One was really exciting! Our friend Ben who has been deployed for several months is on his way home and came through the base where Dominic is. Ben asked around and found Dominic at his desk. Dominic said that he looks good and is glad to be on his way home. He said they talked for about an hour and took a picture together. It made my heart happy to see that they got to hang out for a bit. How exciting!
One of the other emails was to say that he got my Christmas card (he still hasn't gotten our packages) and he got a card from Aunt Betty. He said to tell her thank you!
