yesterday we went to the post office to pick up our first packages in 2 years! now in asia you can get WAY more stuff than we could even just 5 years ago and we have narrowed down the list of absolute essentials we need to bring from america, but there is so much stuff that is just a blessing to get sent over. we are super thankful for kathryn and jeanette who always send us fun things whenever people from nc come over here. and last year we were blessed with both of our parents sending stuff with my parents at christmas and laura buying all of target and packing it in her suitcase for us.
but there is something just awesome about getting a package in the mail. and yesterday after going to the post office, we dug into all of this:
thank you, JESSIE & ANDY (& abbie too)! you guys are so awesome! jessie and i met eight and a half years ago in gatlingburg, tn where we spent the summer sharing a pull-out couch. i am so grateful that we got to spend 10 weeks together, but that we got to start a friendship that would last for years. thank you guys for sending us so many wonderful goodies (and decorations & gifts!) just in time for christmas!
