Happiness Looks Like This

Today feels like Christmas. I received my first piece of mail in Namibia this morning – I was so surprised and excited I actually squealed when Schaulf showed me the package.

Thank you Mom, Sandy and Ryan! I really missed the family today, especially being Father’s Day and thinking about you all camping at Letchworth. The package timing was perfect – I’m really surprised it came on a Sunday, nothing here happens on Sundays. I ran to my room and tore open the package (which must have weighed 10 pounds at least). Homemade ginger snaps and granola?! Ryan’s beef jerky? Craisins?! Bottle-size Crystal light packets?!! So many of my favourite treats – and even Ziploc bags! You must have been reading my mind. I was totally surprised and delighted. I actually left all the goodies spread on my bed for the afternoon because it made me so happy to look at them. I feel loved. Thank you guys!

So what’s the first thing I ate? (If you guessed the cookies, good guess, but no. I’m saving them for tomorrow as a treat for Brooke and me after braving our Monday aerobics class.) Pizzeria pretzel combos. Mmmm.
