Christmas gifts from the States!

So a couple of weeks ago, two big boxes arrived at our doorstep.  I was way excited.  This is the first package that I have gotten from the states since I have been here (I know that you are excited too just reading about this).  This is what the inside of the boxes looked like…

So who was it from, you might ask, and what was inside?  The gifts were from one of our favorites, Emily Campbell.  Yeah, she is pretty great.  There were presents for us all individually, and to us as a team.  I patiently decided that we should wait until Christmas to open the gifts, but she insisted that we go ahead and open them (which I was secretly hoping that she would say)!

For the team, we got fun Christmas CDs (in true Emily Campbell style), Christmas movies (including quotes like “I know him” and “Look what you did you little jerk”), ornaments to decorate our miniature tree, and candy canes.  Now while most of the teammates got their favorite candy, I will let you guess what I was given instead of candy…here is a hint: what did I tote around a lot in Auburn as snacks?

All that to say, thanks Emily.  You’re the best.  We love you and are thankful for you.  Your gifts, encouragement, and thoughtfulness really do mean a lot to us.
