Parcels of Love

Snail mail is one of my favorite things in the whole world. It is one of the best parts of being abroad: getting letters and packages from people we love. One of my favorite places in a new country are post offices, where I meet very friendly folk and see beautiful new stamps. It’s all a blast for me and that is why my face looks so thrilled in all these pictures (above is me eating pepperkauker, one of my favorite cookies my grandma makes along with the delicious package Grandma and Grandpa sent me):

Above is Amy’s package. I have to say Mike (almost solely) finished the Skippy peanut butter in a little over a week. It seemed like every time I turned around he had it on something. The Cosby Show episodes proved priceless when Mike was sick last weekend and watched a whole slew of them.

Below is my classic excited face over my parent’s package and Mike’s glee over his Nutrageous bar. We’ve been playing Five Crowns a ton and even discovered a new solitaire game in it! Even though my name was clearly written on the peanut butter M & M’s , Mike thought marriage means equal sharing. I guess it was fair since he shared the Nutrageous clearly marked “Mike”.

One side note and more on it later, but Mike and I are relocating to a different part of India in the beginning February. We are doing a big trip up in the north with Andrew, Anne, and Annie before they head back to the states starting in mid-January. With that said, if you want to send us anything (letters or otherwise) you should not send anything later than the middle of December (aka pretty soon). We’ll give you our new address in the north when we get it. We will be working on a farm in the Himalayas starting in February (details to come).
