Thanks TeresaLynn for the birthday wish. That makes me very happy.
kiwikris, see I knew someone was lurking. Hehe.
And thanks I am glad I got the present but a lot of it was destroyed when I got it. My mom had mailed up steak sauce that I can't get here and they had busted the bottle over the whole box. It got all over my card. Of course they wrote a letter of apology but for a package worth $400 and costing $51 for priority to send, you think they would be more careful. I found what was so sentimental. My mom had mailed a diamond ring that she has since before I was born and had it in the card. I have loved it since I was little. Always stealing it away. She wants me to wear it and know she is always with me. Aww. And she took a tiny bottle and filled it with some dirt, a feather, rock, and moss to have a piece of home here with me. I thought that was thoughtful. And of course I got lots of food, I got pooh candles, cake mix, number candles for my birthday, and cake decorations. Momma said at least I won't forget this birthday. And I did hear about the earthquake in NZ, didn't it hit mostly Christchurch? I am so so very sorry to hear and I understand the urgency for you to get home, I would need to as well. I will be praying you get your PR interview soon.
And boasorte, I am skeptical to believe that as well. There is just something missing to the story. I mean yeah I wish they were that far ahead but I doubt it.
Oh well...
