Thank you for the Milk!

THANK YOU FOR THE MILK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got the milk on Dec 26th. Ryan was out on convoy, so I had to keep it a surprise for another 4 days before he could know. I was expecting 1 gallon for him…I didn’t know I was getting milk too! What a wonderful surprise! We got a total of 5 gallons I think.

When he got home from convoy, I brought him to my office and made him close his eyes. The I gave him a glass of milk and told him he had to drink it without smelling it first…(he didn’t like that part). He was SO surprised when he tasted it! He drank a whole jug of it that night before we left the office! Our little secret….he almost had tears in his eyes when he tasted it! He couldn’t believe it was “real” milk. He actually ate Oreos with that jug of milk. He said that it was the “bestest Christmas present ever”!

I shared the milk with the guys in the office and SPC Willsey drank a jug all by himself. He said that when he was home on leave he drank a gallon a day because he missed it so much over here. He is going to write you to see if you could send him some as well, I think. I gave him one of the customs slips that has your address on it. Ryan’s commander took a jug and wrote his name all over it so that no one would drink it. We put 2 other jugs in the fridge for community property…they lasted about 3 days.

To answer your QC questions:

We got 10 half gallons of milk

They were still partially frozen when they got here

1 leaked in transit, but the other 9 half gallons were THOROUGHLY enjoyed!!!

I have been asked if we can send you money to get some more shipped here. The flavors requested were 2%, whole, and chocolate milk (that one’s from me) ).
