Surprise Care Package time!

That's right folks.  When I went to the Post Office today expecting something from Peace Corps, instead I was greeted with an unexpected package!!!!!!  My dear brother and sis-in-law sent this baby and man was I excited to open it.  

I literally SQUEALED when I saw the pop-tarts sitting there. Even better?  They're the confetti kind which is a limited edition I saw online and have yet to try. 

So many goodies!!

Thank you thank you Jeremy and Tina.  The design mags, notepad, Easter goodies for my kids {let's be real: the Cadbury min-eggs are for me.  I'm not sharing my fave Easter candy...}, a mini-umbrella, and a Zippo hand warmer!  Oh, and a card that plays the ENTIRE Boomer Sooner song! I can't wait to show it to my friends.  I loved the Easter card too, which I'm guessing my brother had something to do with.

Am I right, Jeremy?  :)

I wrote on my sis-in-laws' facebook wall at 4:30 pm saying that I was trying my best not to open the mini-eggs yet.  

That lasted a whole 'nother hour before I opened the bag.  Turns out I have no self control when it comes to food from home.  Whoops.  I am putting the pop-tarts away for a rainy day though!

Speaking of precipitation, it snowed today. For a lot of hours. Didn't stick very much.  I am not getting out my winter coat again.  Nuh-uh.  No way.

A birthday shout-out is in order for today as well :)  March seems to be an incredibly popular month for my friends to be born?!  Today is Miss Britney's birthday--a dear friend with a true servant's heart.  

She drives a red bug in real life!  Not just this mini one... :)

Lydia, Britney, Grace--Mexico 2010

I first got to know Britney during the summer of 2010 on the 3-week mission in Mexico called Juners.  During those weeks, I watched Britney come out of her shell and truly become a leader for the younger ones on that trip.  She was always willing to lend a hand, no matter the {nasty} job.  Her love of life is truly contagious.  And, she has a wonderful sense of style :)

She also looks great in corn-rows.  

after a week of corn-rows, we were sad to take them out.  

an ex-gymnast.  look at that form!

I've never met a red-head who could tan like she does.  She's darker than me, which isn't saying a lot, but we won't get into that now...

I forget when we shipped it but this one got there a lot faster than the one we sent at Christmas. Glad you got it and are enjoying it!

I will have to ask Tina about the card. I don't remember who picked it out first.

The hand warmer was supposed to be a Christmas present but it didn't get here in time. Oh well, you'll be there another winter. :)
