Sentimental Deployment Gifts

Okay, blogging world. I am kind of freaking out about how close it is until Dustin leaves and how unprepared I am to send him off. Don't get me wrong, I have everything in order paperwork, bills, insurance, cell phone, and everything on the home front. At least, as much as I can think of right now.

So far, here are the things I am considering doing before and when he leaves, but please leave me any suggestions you have!
