Care Packages from the US Rock!!!!

A really good friend of mine sent me a care package full of lots of goodies. I received it today and my friend mailed it about a week ago so it got here pretty fast. I was so excited to open the big box of stuff-it was like Christmas.
There were several Sharpies (which you can not find in Korea at all). Even a retracable sharpie-which totally rocks!!!!! I don't know why I love retractable sharpies so much but I do-I love them. I had several that I bought to bring with me to Korea but somehow they did nor make it here. I am not sure what happened to them but was so happy to see the retractable sharpie today.
There was a ton of glitter(which is almost impossible to find in Korea) in every color imagineable. Some very cool foam letters and numbers that stick to paper etc. The kids can make words and just have a blast.
There were a few health and beauty items that I needed such as Intution razors (which are one of the best inventions ever!!!!).
There were also jellybeans(which my kids have never tried) and wanted to after I read them a story that mentioned jelly beans.
My friend had told me that they were going to send me a Dvd but I couldn't think of anything I wanted to see. My friend said that they would pick something out and surprise me. I was a little scared as we don't always have the same taste in movies.
Well when I pulled the Dvd out of the box I started to get misty-eyed. The dvd my friend sent was A River Runs Through it. Which was one of my Dad's all time favorite movies and that movie always makes me think of him fondly. It is an amazing and wonderful movie and believe it or not I did not own it on dvd but now I do. It was such a nice and thoughtful choice.
The best thing in the box was a sweet and funny note from my friend.
I am truely blessed to have great friends who care so much about me.
E-hugs to all.
