I'm a Jeep Girl... you CCers reading this know it, until a little over a year ago a 2000 Wrangler was my mode of transport until I got a comfy sports car to zip around in instead of bouncing.  But I couldn't part with the Jeep so I'm passing it down to my oldest son who is now 15 EEK!  MY BABY.. eerrrr ummmm babies, yah that's it.  So in honor of one of them (hey, I scrap that boy All The Time) I made these cards for some soldier to send home!

Relax

I know this isn't a typical sentiment for an Operation Write Home card but I'm sure some of our soldiers would love nothing better than to be at home playing in the bubble bath with one of their kiddos or taking a relaxing bubble bath themselves!
