Just wanted you all to know a little somethin somethin :D
I just got our tax return paper work back and in keeping reciepts for sending boxes to DH I got to use them as a tax write off. So don't throw yours away :D

I wondered if we could do that! I've been keeping them....of course we got all our tax back this year anyways so it wouldn't have made a difference.

Dang! I wish I had known that when DH first deployed! It's too late now since we are at the tail end of our deployment! Bummer! :arg

Thanks for sharing that, though! :tu

My even bigger secret is that the woman at the post office has been sending my packages for me since DH left. In that time I lost receits and when I was talking to her about it she wrote me a hand written reciept for $500.00 worth of receipts because I had spent that much and lost that many. I (L) that woman...her generosity made me cry

Our accountant told me that this year and I'm kicking myself now because I had thrown majority of them away already! Next time he deploys its on! haha
