Snot Factory

Of course. I knew it was coming. A cold. A yummy sore throaty, snotty-lious, headache filled cold. Thankfully the worse of it was experienced over the weekend when I had to text a few comrades Saturday night requesting them to check on my status Sunday morning for fear that I was going to drown in my snot. I think that's about graphic enough eh? Buuuuuuuut, I am feeling better now, thankfully, because I DESPISE blowing my nose. My dad and bro on the other hand LOVE it. I wonder if that means they like to get sick? Doubtful. Anyways, I'm feeling just well enough to make a crazy 7 hour drive down to the outskirts of DC for a dayish to visit my beloved friends Kasha and Emily. Kasha's mom is attending a conference there so we are crashing her hotel room and hanging out! I'm beyond pumped to see some familiar faces and get a bear hug or two! Who knows what we'll do, Kasha's making the plans, something she hates to do, but does very well, so I'm sure it will be a blast! I'd be happy just to sit in the room and stare at them the whole time, but that might be creepy so I'd better not :)

Speaking of familiar faces, those I know and love back in the Midwest sure have been taking care of me. I feel so stinking loved and cared for. Everyday I get at least one text or phone call or letter or package, and I know, for a fact, that I get many more prayers. I'm going to post of pic of one day's worth of loot! I got a package from my fam in which my mom included cold meds and cough drops among a million other fabulous things (how did she know?!). I also got a package with a 2 LB BAG of Roasterie coffee (my MOST FAV coffee from KC) from Mac with a lovely letter, and a LONG letter from Cholbear. Not to mention the Silly Bands from Eli, sheet music and letter from Kit, and letters from Mandy, Kasha, Leah, and Rachel I've gotten in the the past 2 weeks alone. I feel so blessed to call you all my friends! I hope that I can attempt to bless you all even half as much as you bless me!!! 

Seriously great mail day
