Tonight after work I went to my friend Meredith's house to make Christmas cookies for our troops in Afghanistan. Her brother has been up at Camp Pendleton for the past few months and preparing to deploy to the Middle East after the holidays. Although making cookies is a silly and fun way to spend a Monday night, I couldn't help but feel a little sad yet grateful for all of the men and women spending the holidays away from loved ones fighting for things beyond my comprehension. It really makes me appreciate all that I have and how lucky I am to see it everyday. Anyways, the cowgirl cookies turned out great thanks to Mere's recipe, and hopefully they make it there in one piece!
