A package filled with goodies arrived today from my mom and my sister Bethany!
All of our mail is routed to Tom’s base and then he brings it home. Today was a day of endless dish-washing (literally, it’s 12:30am “tomorrow” and they’re still not done!) and I finally threw in the towel and sat on the couch to watch Tom play RockBand2. Then, I remembered that he mentioned a box had arrived!
I grabbed my jacket, went out into the cold and opened up our metal garage door, ran back to get the keys from Tom’s jacket, ran back outside, and then opened up the hatch to Tom’s new dark purple (it almost looks black until it the sun hits it!) Nissan station wagon.
The handwriting on the box was familiar – from Bethany :)
She had included sticks of my favorite deodorant (can’t buy it here!), a beautiful orange adjustable-neck apron with a lovely paisley-style gray/gold/brown trim (I put on a fresh apron each morning!) and a matching oven mitt from William Sonoma, a beautiful slender leather clutch with a plum and bronze paisley print, a large Bath and Body Works tote, two bags of Hershey’s Kisses(made right near our house in PA!) – special edition flavors with “New York Cheesecake” and “Cherry Cordial Creme” fillings, a Hoops and Yoyotalking card that has moving graphics (we send each other the H&Y e-Cards, so it was very fitting… my kids LOVE them), Airheads and Welches Fruit Snacks AND…
My very fashionable mom went through her closet and threw seven cute winter shirts into the box – so I now have some more variety in my winter wardrobe, including some warm sweaters. Sweeet!
Wow. I felt so loved to receive such a thoughtful gift. Every item was something that I enjoyed, and it felt like a hug to know my family is thinking of me.
That is such a great photo of you that I had to come over here and comment too! ;) What a fun package you got! We’re expecting you to model all those shirts now too…
