Wow! Christmas came to N. Africa! I received FOUR packages within the past week. It has been so much fun! I thought I'd show you some of my goodies...
I got this great package from my Owen family. I loved the Reese's and Butterfingers along with the pictures! Thank you so much! What a great idea! I also loved the "family DVDs" and "Lesson Plans." Too funny! Can't wait to see you in New Smyrna!
Above is a package from both my mom and Jennie and Jennifer. Some Christmas presents from mom included the long-sleeved UGA shirts and some camis. (Also some other things which I better not include in a picture.) I also appreciated the UGA/Auburn game highlights. Jennie and Jennifer sent another package along with mom at the same time...but I got it early December. What a mail system! I love you all and miss you!
Steph sent me some goodies along with a wonderful surprise! A framed picture of Hudson (who is five months today -- have I really been here that long?). I couldn't believe the picture made it here unharmed! The unfortunate tea box wasn't as lucky. Thanks, Steph!
My "Wednesday Night Girls" sent me a package with some wonderfully-scented dryer sheets (ironically, the same kind that Jennifer sent me and I got on the same day). I love them! I also got some Sweet Tarts that my students LOVED and an envelope of pictures that I've put in my bedroom. You girls are awesome! Miss you!
Thank you so much to all of you for your generosity!

Let me know how to send you a package. I've been wanting to and don't know how. Love ya and miss ya
dang, girl! you racked in! awesome stuff! packages are just the best. for me it harkens back to college days when my sweet mama used to send me those great care packages-all the great baked goods she would make for me, lots of treats, and of course the letter she always sent with these packages that read in big letters "STAY OUT OF TROUBLE." ahh,ma..me? stay out of trouble? not a chance. :)
And the gifts keep coming!! I know why it takes so long for mail to get to you. When I was leaving you, my plane was delayed taking off for over an hour because they were unloading the mail that had arrived from the US that morning. I was watching them unload the stuff and it had USA written on the bags so they must hold the stuff once it comes into the country. I noticed you got some more deodorant...were you out? lol maybe you could "share" with "others". hehehe Glad you got a touch of home, you should feel loved because you are!!! Take a nap today :)
Yeah! You got it. We are so glad. At this rate we should send a package for Easter now!
Love you
