You've Got Mail

There's something to be said about a card or a hand written letter these days. In the busy world of technology, it's hard to find the time or will power to tear yourself away from your iphone and actually sit down and write a letter.

But it's also so exciting to receive mail that's not a bill or piece of junk. And coming from someone who is 4,781 miles away from home, it means a whole lot more to see a note handwritten and know the trouble the sender went through to mail it internationally : )

During Christmas, we were so excited be the amount of cards we received from friends and family far away. My mom mails our mail to us (funny in itself). Gail sends me pictures of Aaron from when he was younger (ah, "blackmail"!) We had one friend send us their wedding invitation with an RSVP card that had 7 stamps on it, but when we went to mail it, the UK Royal Mail wouldn't accept the US stamps (mail fail).

I can't name every letter or card we've received, but they definitely have not gone unnoticed - we have truly loved every single one. Basically good old fashioned mail is staying alive because of us ; )

So for my next blog post, I will be handwriting it and mailing it out to anyone who would like a copy. If you'd like to be one of my "snail mail followers" and receive it by mail, please fax me your name and mailing address, along with a copy of your Happy April Fool's Day!
