Cell Phones for Soldiers

Well in the last week my youngest has started Drive Right and is finishing up with swimming including the parties that go with it. He is now the proud owner of a purple piece of crap! We call it the Barney mobile. We have managed to get our taxes done. Thank God. I still need to paint my bedroom and start covering up the paneling in the basement. We tried to go bowling with some friends Saturday night but a 10 minute wait turned into 2 hours and then we wouldn't have but a few minutes until Moonlight bowling started. My husband did some drunk dialing when we got home and pranked a few friends also his step-mom. He scared the crap out of her using the computer sound bite websites. He is such a brat. He never talks on the phone unless he has a couple cocktails. LOL I took my youngest out driving and delivered a big chocolate Kiss to my middle son I hope he got it. My oldest will be home in a week. I can't wait! I finally got to spend some time with my niece and nephews. They have been in Florida for a month. I took my first test in Statistics but have not got my grade yet, hopefully an "A". I should find out tomorrow. Tonight besides homewook I am mailing a package of cookies to Brad(Oldest sons BF) a kid that has been like a son to us for 5-6 years now. Brad was just deployed last week to Afghanistan. I delivered 20 phone to Cell phones for Soldiers. So that is 20 - 1 hour phone cards YEAH!!


The phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad.


Cell Phones for Soldiers, initiated in 2004 by then 14-year-old Brittany Bergquist and her 13-year-old brother Robbie, uses funds from recycled cell phones to buy prepaid phone cards for active duty military members – to help connect them with their families.
Through generous donations and the recycling of used cell phones from drop-off sites across the country, Cell Phones for Soldiers has already raised more than $1 million and distributed more than 75 thousand phone cards to soldiers overseas.

  2. Awww, that little car wasn't a piece of junk before but I think grandma must have driven it into the ground huh? Did Jamie look it over yet? What all's wrong with it?

    I thought of Brett Saturday when we toured Rockford College. They have a swim team.

  3. I still have to bring those old cellphones over for you. I think Barney was probably put through the ringer with Grandma J driving it.
