This photo got me thinking about doing the contest again. Gorgeous.
On Saturday, I decided it was time to check the mail. I had completely forgotten to check it...all week. And whaddaya know? I got a package!
You guys know how much I love getting packages, right? During Joe's deployment, I sent a bazillion care packages to him. Somewhere along the way, my fabulous SIL, Anna, sent me a care package. It was awesome! She also sent this one to me. =) And even though her last package had more goodies this one meant a bit more. Here's what she sent:
Sweetest card EVER, cocoa butter lotion, preggie pops (hallelujah!) and chocolate.
And - as she put it - "a pretty maternity dress to show off that bump!"
Oh, and please disregard the pile of laundry on the right...
The card was on top {and addressed to both of us, so we both read it} and I opened it first. She really must know I like cards and read them before opening any package. =) After I read the card, I was a bit teary-eyed. Then I opened the rest of the package...and pulled out the dress and told Joe, "I think I'm going to cry!" Then I proceeded to cry. Ah, hormones. They're really great. ;-)
Seriously, though, who thinks to send a prego care package?! I probably wouldn't have. And I'm fairly certain I didn't send her one when she was pregnant last time! It was very sweet and thoughtful. I feel pretty lucky to have gained a sister {yeah, I claim her even though she's Joe's sister ;-)} and friend like her when I married Joe. Actually, I think I really lucked out in the in-law department altogether.
Hope y'all are having a great week!

I love getting packages in the mail, and yours is so thoughtful!
And I'd be interested in the photo challenge!
Wow, I got my own post! :) I'm glad you liked your package, wish I was there with you guys.
And I loved you contest last year! I couldn't enter, but I loved looking at everyone's shots!
Much love,
Anna
Aww, how sweet! What an awesome package.
I'm up for the photo challenge.
Such a sweet and thoughtful gift!
Packages are so fun but a preggo package is the sweetest ever! That is so awesome that you have such great in-laws!
That was so sweet of your SIL! I love care packages, but I probably would not have thought to send a preggo one either! I would LOVE to see Fall photos-it is my favorite season!!
I really LOVED seeing all the photos from the fall contest last year and I was definitely hoping you would do it again! :) (Sadly, I did not send in any pics last year, but I voted EVERY week!) lol
I loved seeing the photos last year too! Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't send any in, for obvious reasons ;)
That was a cute package to get. Love it! And the crying - yes, that happens, and it gets worse. I've had a few moments when I just start bawling for no real reason. Anything sets me off. Brandon has learned to deal with it :P
Loved playing last year and would definitely participate again! Fall is so beautiful and picture-worthy!
What a sweet idea! I don't think I would think of it, either. Gift-giving isn't my love language. I'm always poor on the gift-giving front.
I would love to see all the fall pictures, but I don't know if I'll be able to participate this year. There's not much to say "fall" around here other than seasonal Starbucks specials!
So cute!!
I can't enter the contest like I did last year... but I'd love to see some fall too!
I loved the fall photo contest last year!
