MilSpouse Friday Fill-In

1. What is the best gift you have ever received or given? (from Jessica Lynn Writes )  My best gifts are the ones where my husband totally surprises me. This year's birthday I was pretty sure I was getting a new phone. I was excited when he came home from work and I knew I was moments away from new apps. *lol* When I came into the kitchen there on the table behind the flowers was the primitive country mirrored home sign I wanted. I didn't even think he was paying attention to me when I pointed it out in the shop. That sign totally beat out the phone.
2. Do you celebrate holidays differently when your loved one is deployed/gone or do you keep tradition? (from The Albrecht Squad ) I'm big on holiday traditions so we celebrate the same way whether he is home or not. BUT. I seem to over spend and buy present out of guilt because dad is away. One year I bought the kiddos a full size air hockey table. Oy. Have you ever tried to get rid of one of those? We just recently gave it away and we had to beg for them to take this like-new air hockey table. I hope Christopher has learned a lesson about being deployed over the holidays. *lol*  ;o)
3. If you celebrate Christmas, do you put an angel, star or something else on the top of your tree?  Angel. We bought her on our first Christmas together back in 1994. She was only $20 and was a make due angel until we could afford a better, more expensive one. We just never had the heart to replace her. She's beautiful and all her lights still work. As for the rest of the tree only Santa is allowed, even our Christmas balls are Mr & Mrs Claus.

4. What are your three favorite websites?  Facebook, SilentWarriers & Hulu
5. On your man do you prefer… boxers, briefs or boxer briefs? Or commando? (yeah, I’m starting to get desperate for questions!)  I love Christopher in boxer briefs or commando. TMI *lol* Those boxer briefs just hug so nicely.
