Package Extravaganza

My packages (Timka for reference)



All the American goodies!!! Felt like I was 5 and it was Christmas morning.

Today on my cold walk home, I stopped by the post office to send homemade Valentine’s Day cards to two of my friends in other cities in Ukraine. Checked my own PO Box. Christmas in Kivertsi; I had four packages. The 10 minute walk home from the post office with this batch of packages was interesting. I was praying the whole time “God, this won’t be a good time for me to biff it in the snow.” I made it home successfully.

Sat in my room and just stared at them for a little while before opening them. As you can see in the following photo I got some good stuff. I need to say thank you before I allow myself to use any of them. Thank you Mom, Uncle Pat, Tobey & Erik, and Dad & Wanda!!!!

Mom: the wallet is perfect, bells will work great in the classroom and my cluster mate Allison is looking forward to watching “Mad About You” with me.

Uncle Pat: you have completely fed my Grey’s Anatomy addiction. I’m going to try to ration them out. Try is the key word. The magazines will be great to read and then use in the classroom. The Shack also looks like a very interesting read.

Dad & Wanda: I’m so excited about the books I don’t know where to start. Looks like I’ll be very popular when it comes to loaning them out to my PC friends.

Tobey & Erik: I loved the everything in the packet. From the workout CDs to the pudding to sweet home made scarf to the unicorn key covers. But most of all I enjoyed the card with the photos. Oh and don’t forget the chocolate and the popcorn. You know your sister well.

I knew before getting these packages that I have the best dysFUNctional family ever, but now it is even easier to brag to other volunteers. But don’t worry I’m not going to be a huge brat, I plan to share some of the stuff. Miss and love you all.
