This was my very first exchange, and boy oh boy am I glad I signed up! Let's look back..

I eagerly signed up on the VERY last day of sign ups.. Couldn't keep down the excitement to be matched (and send out my own gift). I noticed they had gotten my info, and I was super excited. Days passed, my matcher hadn't pulled my info since day 1.. I was getting a little worried, but was still very hopeful! Then I was reading horror stories of redditgifts.. then I was worried. Was I getting shafted? Then my matcher looked at my info again! There was hope! This was a roller coaster ride of emotions, and I was still extremely ecstatic to be on the ride. Days passed, and I was becoming a little sad, maybe I was getting shafted? Finally, may 22nd to be exact, my santa messaged me. I felt so(!!) bad for thinking I got shafted, when my santa was just extremely busy! It finally shipped, and I awaited the day it would arrive. More days passed, and the silly shipping info wasn't updating until one day... it said delivered. "How odd.." I think to myself, as I asked my dad (who checks the mail daily) if we had gotten anything. He said no, and I was worried my package was now lost! Flash forward to today, where I ask my dad AGAIN if he checked the mail, and he said he did but I was free to check it myself and LOW AND BEHOLD MY GODLY GIFT! My santa went ABOVE AND BEYOND what I could EVER be expecting! It was totally well worth all the waiting! I cried because of how kind the letter + the box of amazing presents was.

Thank you SO much Santa, and I'm incredibly sorry I doubted you. <3
