They have arrived

This afternoon my platoon sergeant came into my room and said I better round up a few guys and hook a trailer up to one of the trucks. My mail had arrived. Thirty-seven boxes of shoes and clothing were piled high in the middle of another platoon's hallway waiting for me. I was able to make it back to my building in one trip, but just barely. The boxes were stacked three high in the trailer and I had to drive slowly so they wouldn't spill out all over the road. The connex that I was going to use to store them in has not arrived yet so now they are just stacked in the hall of my building. You can barely squeeze past them they take up so much room (and there are still several more boxes on the way). This evening I ran in to a bunch of our kids and told them that their shoes had arrived and let them know when and where we'd pass them out. I think they though I'd been bluffing all this time because they looked pretty surprised. Elmo said that she’s bringing all of her sisters, brothers, and friends. It's going to be a good time.
