2 packages.. holy cow!


So like usual, we fear to have any mail, because its usually just another bill. And who really likes to pay bills. But last week was different. We looked into our very tiny mailbox (everything is tiny here) and saw that we had not one, but two packages that we had to pick up at the post office (la poste, bien sur!). So after we picked up our packages, we had to open them up right away. Like I said, this is a rare thing :) so we've got to be excited about it. Any ways, one was from my Sister and Fam. and the other from Crispin Webb (crispinwebb.com). Ok, well something like two weeks ago, celine talked to Crispin online and he said that he had found a couple bibles in the dumpster. Don't ask me why he was in the dumpster. Any who here in france, there is little to know christians. So obviously we don't go to church. So any ways celine had thought she had left a bible here in france. But no. So Crispin sent us one so now we can do our divotions and what not. Thanks Crispin. But I have to admit, this bible was in pretty good shape to be found in a dumpster.
Then the other package was from my sister. She had asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and being in the land of eating, I of course had to ask for.. thats right more FOOD. Well being in France, we have alot of really, really good french food. But somethings I just need that greasy salty, over sugared american food. So I asked for the basics. Funyuns, Almond m&m's, Reeses cups, Slim Jims, and of course stove top stuffing. This package wasn't open 5 secs before i dove in and tried a little of everything, but the stove top. We're saving that for our own little thanksgiving.
For some reason, when ever I go overseas, I always seem to crave some of the food that is normal to me. And yes I usually head to Mc Donalds (pernounced Mac Donalds) when I get back to the US. They have Mc Do here but its not the same. I guess you'd have to be over seas to truely understand.
