Care Package

It's november. It's fall. It's officially, "seasonal". I like this very, very much. It's hard to think of anything as being "seasonal" in Florida, because it's pretty mild weather still here. However, my blood is indeed thinning, and what would normally be amazing fall weather is now somewhat chilly in my book. I got a very special care package from my parents this week! They had been telling me that they had something coming for me in the mail, my dad mentioned something about cookies, and my mom seemed very proud of herself for sending me something. So I went to the mailbox, hoping for some sort of an assortment of candy, or maybe a twenty to support my unhealthy coffee addiction. Instead, there was a letter addressed to me, with "big-ass care package" written across the back. Let me just tell you, this was the flimsiest, skinniest little envelope you could imagine. It wasn't even stiff enough for a solid postcard. This was clearly only meeting the printer paper standard. (There was also a letter from my dear friend, rachel clark, which made me so, so very happy!) Anyway, I walked back to my appartment with my expectations dropping with each step. I had ended up thinking, if a little note was all I got in the mail from my parents, it would still probably make my day! (and it would be fun to make fun of their "aweseome care package")
Back at the appartment, I grabed a knife and opened the envelope very carefully (because I don't really like ripping open letters, it looks sloppy) Indeed, it was printer paper!!! My goodness, this was funny. So I rolled my eyes a little bit and unfolded the piece of paper. There in my hands was a printed e-mail flight confirmation for the 9th to the 12th!!!! My parents are paying for me to fly home next week!!!! I litterally could not have been smiling any more without my lips splitting. I'm still just so happy to be able to visit home. Not that I don't LOVE it here, but I have to admit that I have been a little homesick lately. Needless to say, it was the best care package that I could have ever hoped for.
