Feeling the Love

So I had a feeling I'd have some mail after being gone for two weeks, but at best I figured a credit card statement, LES, and something from one of my banks. The last thing I expected was a stack of real mail when I opened my desk drawer looking for my calculator. Then and there my travel claim was put on hold as I read letters from some of my most favorite people in the world. Seriously- today was my first day I had letters from non family members complete with drawings and even presents*.

Birth announcements, advice from a best friend (btw, thanks Erin), a sketch of Kazoo, inside jokes, family updates and nicknames gallore made me miss it all for a minute. But then I realized that some of my favorite things from "home" were enclosed in those envelopes so I had the best of my two lives!

And can we just all appreciate that magnet? Thanks LT 1.0---way to be the first one to officially call me out on my enabler status. It made me laugh out loud...but luckily none of my coworkers made me explain what was going on. Wait. Is that a good thing or have they already come to expect things like that from me?

*I'd like to make a correction- week #2 I received non family mail...but from someone I've known since age 9 so I guess I lumped her in with the family.  Yep. My brain decides to remember these things at 0400.
