Can you tell I was a little flustered when I took this picture of Brian's package before I sealed it up and sent it? I thought I was all organized but somehow I was just a mess.I was so excited~ I called a local store that has an MTC same day delivery service (only in Utah, I know.) Well I was thrilled you can drop of a package or a letter and for a small fee they deliver it THAT day by noon.
So, I got some of these & a bunch of other stuff & wrapped it in a box all cute with a bright note saying WE LOVE YOU- YOUR FAMILY!
Then I paid - and the guy behind the counter says- okay it'll be there Monday.
WHAT THE *&%$#@?
The service only runs Monday - Friday.
I started to cry.
That poor guy behind the counter.
Luckily I came home to this...

And our first letter from the missionary.
He sounded a little nervous, but good. He sent it Thursday and hadn't gotten any of our letters yet so I could tell that was not good. I am sure he got something Friday & today. I know now he will get some goodies & two day old stale maple bars on Monday so that's good. Sheeeesh! He'll be thrilled for sure.
Well, there's nothing like a trip to Costco the Saturday before Thanksgiving to cheer us up, right? Hopefully tonight we are gonna go see this
* have you ever started crying in the store before?
(I'm really not even a crier- this whole experience has been crazy for me)
*have you seen this movie?

I loved Brian's letter! He definitely sounded anxious for mail. I will try and write him as much as I can- especially with dearelder.com. That thing is amazing. He'll love that package you sent. Love you mom :)-megs
ReplyDeleteI went and saw Dan in Real Life last week. I really liked it. I'm sure you guys will too!
ReplyDeleteBrian will love the package, and I am sure he will get a kick out of a follow up letter from you with the story of how it should have been there before noon on Sat. he he he
ReplyDeleteI don't know Dan... you will have to school me up if it's any good.
What a pisser about the maple bars, that news would have been crushing to me too.
ReplyDeleteI cried once in an Old Navy store because a woman was verbally abusing her little boy so badly. I kept thinking, if this is what she says in public, what must she say when they're at home. It rocked my world to hear it.
I saw that movie and really liked it.
