Like something out of a Victorian novel...

Ok, I don't know if you might consider this sad (in a pathetic sense) or not, but I feel like I need to put this out there...

I've been really homesick lately, a condition exacerbated by the fact that I'm exhausted, stressed, and feeling ill. Well, today, I got a package from Mom and Dad. I knew one was coming...Mom had told me that she had ordered me a surprise. I went to the UPS Store and came back from the UPS Store in our 90 degree weather. When I got back to my room, I cranked the AC and opened up the box. Inside was another box wrapped in beautiful colored paper, complete with a gold bow and a note from my parents that said, "Something for your "new" place...Happy Easter! Love, Mom & Dad."

Something about the wrapped box with it's neat little note was so comforting. Now, nearly 15 minutes after opening the box that this little package came shipped in, I still can't bring myself to unwrap it!

I'm sure I'll open it eventually...probably soon...but for now, the wrapping paper and "Love, Mom & Dad" are making me feel like I'm home already.

I hope you all get to have that same feeling this spring!
