Day 2 - Yellow Ribbons Tied

I've not forgot about my picture for today...and today I spent working on putting together a Newsletter for the spouses of my husband's flight. I volunteer as the Key Spouse and what I am supposed to do is keep in touch with the spouses that have a spouse deployed. I need to make sure they are okay, see if there is anything they need, and keep them updated on the happenings around the base and at the shop.

I receive tons of emails full of information. I was told to simply forward them...well not everyone enjoys receiving TONS of emails. So I sifted through the 93 messages I had and created a newsletter. I titled it "Yellow Ribbons Tied". When your spouse, son, daughter, father, mother, or whom every in your family is deployed...it's tradition to tie a yellow ribbon.

The newsletter ended up being 6 full pages! I did get to do a "little" bit of my own writing, but not much. I look forward to sending it out tomorrow and seeing what type of response I get from it. I worked really hard on it, loved every moment of it, and I am thrilled with out it turned out.

My husband did some editing for me and he thinks it should be sent to all spouses. That makes me feel good.
