KUWAIT — Air Force Capt. Ashley Davenport is hiding a secret: She’s looking forward to being deployed for the holidays.
“Being away from Connor and Emma used to be one of the hardest parts of the deployment for me,” said Davenport. “Then they outgrew the cute phase.”
“This year, when the greedy little brats demand expensive crap to add to their overstuffed playroom of junk they never use, I can hand the endless shopping, wrapping and returns over to my husband.”
As Thanksgiving approaches, Davenport is looking forward to a break. This year she will not be spending days baking pies and waking up at 4 a.m. to stuff a turkey which her children will dismiss as “too salty” or stewing homemade cranberry sauce which her children will call “weird” before asking for pop tarts.
