If you read yesterday‘s post, you know that Thursday marked exactly six months of (and theoretically, halfway through) John’s deployment. I didn’t post this care package yesterday because I didn’t want to spoil the surprise for John (he reads the blog every so often).
However… yesterday, John told me he had gotten the package on Wednesday!
That means I get to share the care package with you today!
So, what could be better than summoning the great Bon Jovi and memories of Beaver Stadium to help celebrate the halfway point of John’s deployment?
Cookies could be better than even Bon Jovi.
So, along with the lyrics to “Livin’ on a Prayer,” I baked John mint chocolate chip cookies. While they were cooling, I cut them in half with a pizza wheel. (Get it, half a cookie? To celebrate half of deployment being over? I crack myself up sometimes.) And there you go. A very small, economical halfway-point care package for a very huge milestone in the deployment.
Tomorrow, I’ll be back with a Countdown to Christmas update!
PS. Need a few ideas for care package fillers? Here’s a list of 150+ items that are perfect for shipping!

Seriously the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. So sweet and such a cool piece of history from your marriage!
Thanks, Tori!
Absolutely so adorable and as a Bon Jovi groupie wannabe, I totally LOVE your title! Stopping by from SITS! :)

Too cute. I have to admit, I like the pun. :)
Thanks, Julie! Too bad this one doesn’t fit in your Christmas link-up! :-)
You had me at “We’ll make it, I swear!”. Fun post! Visiting from SITS.
Thanks visiting, Katy! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Haha- I love the “half” cookie idea! I’ll have to keep that in mind for next deployment. Oddly enough, today marks our halfway point!
You can’t go wrong with Bon Jovi and cookies!!
Our halfway point is coming up at the end of March…I LOVE this idea! Can’t wait to build off of it! Thanks!!
