It's All In The Little Stuff.

If you know me at all, you know that I get over-the-top excited about the smallest things. I can't help it. It's not a show or act. It's just me being me.

In fact, one of our friends decided that my name is really an adverb meaning "dramatically enthusiastic".

An example of me being very 'me-like' is when we walk up to the gate of our house after a long HOT day and there sits a US postal package with our names on it!!! I spring up the 55 stairs to our flat, find the scissors, and destroy the box to get to the goods.

Our surprise package this week from a good friend.

It's always super fun to see what people send. Some of the stuff we ask for specifically because we can't find it here, but other stuff is just so creative and fun.

These are two things that I never ate in the states, but have craved over here:

Little Debbie- Star Crunch.

Chef Boyardee Ravioli 

Thank you so much for all the love (and gummy bears) you send to us. We know that sending us a box is no little thing.  It takes a huge investment of time, energy, and money to get them together. But somehow they always seem to come when we need them the most - not when our gummy bear supplies are running low, but when we are most missing home. The Father uses every one of these blessings to remind us of our army of supporters back home! We love you.
