After calling Luca to communicate with the post man I ran upstairs to open my package! Scissors are in short supply in this house like tape at home so I had to find some of those with which to open the box. I found some pretty quickly.
I unpacked the things I forgot first to get the least exciting out of the way and then moved on to the fun stuff.
I got candy, socks, underwear, tank tops, new movies, hot chocolate, ink cartridges, my favorite tea, my favorite movies, a rubber duck and crayons to make it feel like home, sticky notes, an iTunes card, and a new pair of my favorite flip flops that I had broken right before leaving :)
I love my family!!!! And finally after all those wonderfully fun and happy surprises it was time to cry.
And cry I did with bits of laughter here and there at my dad's humor which can bridge continents. I still don't think I'm homesick, I think I'm people sick. I love my family so much and am so appreciative of the care they put into my wonderful gift <3
The Sour Patch kids were forgotten in the listing of goodies? All tolled they probably cost $25.00. Savor every citric acid coated morsel.
ReplyDeleteWait...I see now that you listed "candy"...as though sour patch kids were merely candy and not little bites of puckery heaven.
ReplyDeleteNo they are very much puckery bits of heaven which have been testing my self control every minute since arriving ;)
