Ever since we got here I've been looking forward to checking the mail, not just because I actually like checking the mail and going through it, but because I've been looking forward to getting cards and things from my family in Texas. I got a package yesterday from my sister! It was in a long rectangular box and I had no idea what it could be. She sent me a really nice big umbrella and some makeup she got from her work! The umbrella should work really well when I walk to and from work. I like it a lot and it seems to open and close good, unlike the older, cheaper umbrellas we have. It's always nice to get free makeup too. So that was pretty cool to get all that stuff in the mail.
