We absolutely love getting packages. I mean, who doesn't? My parents and brother/sisinlaw are so good about sending regular goodies to us. Yesterday was an extra special day because we got two boxes from America! All of our packages go to the central post office in our city and then they call our phone number on the box, and then we go pick it up. Of course, they don't always call. Just last month, we picked up a package that had been there for 2 months. (the Girl Scout cookies were still good though!) My dad now tracks the package and tells us when it arrives. This has proven to be much more reliable than the post office workers here. When Ocean went yesterday to pick up the package my dad told us about, they gave us two packages. Thanks, Kyle, Christy and Mom and Dad! Kyle even sent a jar of their amazing canned tomato relish and peach jam, and tortillas. Mom and Dad sent toys, Velveeta cheese, and two cans of Rotel. Both boxes were full of Halloween candy and other fun treats too. It is amazing how much will fit in those boxes. Johnson and Julia were so excited opening it, the goodies just kept coming and coming. Mexican food will definitely be on the menu at our house this weekend!
