After 12.5 days visiting my boyfriend's hometown for the first time and after almost 24 hours of being awake trying to get home yesterday, I cannot even begin to express how excited I was to see a brown box wrapped in string from my Secret Santa on my counter! (I have always wanted a package wrapped in string so this alone was exciting)

Then there was another package wrapped in paper with even more string!

My cat is enjoying the string immensely. I'm not exactly sure how this posting thing works so I am putting descriptions of the gifts with the pictures.

I love everything. It was so thoughtful. It was so nice to get a present that meant so much. I especially freaked out about the hat and hula hoops. :) You have put many smiles on my face. I wish I could give you a hug!
