MAIL CALL!!!

Also known as the Post with a million links

Don't you remember during summer camp when they would yell out "mail call! mail call!" and then fling your mail to you across the mess hall? I totally remember that. Ahh, Wagon Train, good times.

This week has been Uh-mazing. It started out with the anticipation of a super secret surprise and road trip with my brother that resulted in the meeting of the coolest people ever.

Then the mail started coming. Seriously is there anything more glorious then actual mail? With stamps and envelopes? It makes me squeal like a little girl to find little surprises in the mail. Because the penny saver just gets old after awhile.

First, I received my first Black Apple purchase ever! I'm continually inspired by this incredibly artistic woman, and was so excited to buy this little piece of art for Henry's room. I just love all the little houses. It reminds me of this row of houses in the Prague castle that are all different colors. I'm feeling motivated to finally finish his room, so look forward to a "reveal" soon. Only 9 months late...


Then on Wednesday I got these DARLING stickies aka post-it's from the uber-sweet Camster. She's the SIL of another one of my favorite bloggers. Cam was doing a drawing and what do you know?! I won! WahOO! I never win anything! And I heart stickies!
(I said heart on purpose cause Scott hates it when people use heart instead of love. He's thinks it's stupid. Well naner naner, babe. hehe. I heart you!)

Then I got my new diffuser in because I am so over the cumbersome, obtrusive, ill-fitting Fong Bomb. I'll let you know how this one works out at my wedding this weekend.

I splurged on this seat on Ebay. And when I say splurged I mean, spent more than I wanted to. But you can no longer buy these in stores and my wiggly, climb-y little man has out grown his baby bath and is need of something a little more, dare I say, big boy. I just shuttered. I'm still in denial that he's almost 9 months old.

Oh but today. Oh good golly. The package to make any girl want to jump up and down and clap her hands and shriek with glee. Not one, but two amazingly beautiful, perfectly fitting pairs of jeans. Oh my goodness I think my butt has died and gone to comfortable-pants heaven. Stacia, you are too generous. I can't thank you enough for giving my week the most amazing finale imaginable. I already told Scott that I've officially stolen his best friend, and that he's not getting you back. I'm so glad that we're friends and am so thankful for you! What a giving heart you have!

So to all of you, this week has been amazing. Uh-mazing I tell you. God is good. Isn't he? Here I am complaining about jeans and two pairs fall from the sky. He takes care of us, even when we don't deserve it. He puts people in our lives, from all walks of life, to challenge, encourage and uplift us. And even occasionally, brighten up our mail boxes.

So I present a challenge. Write a letter this week. Like an actual letter. Something that doesn't require you to sit in front of the computer. Whether it be your grandmother or a dear friend, or just some one you love. Write them a letter, or a card even. Make it fun. Create a card or use fun stationary. Brighten someone elses mail box this week. And maybe, just maybe, yours will be brightened as well.
