Package in the mail

I was thinking of switching to typepad, and even started a new blog there (see: http://www.pinkpanda.typepad.com/), but it looks like it will be too much work to learn a new webface (is that what you call it? I just had a brain freeze!), so now I am just typing my blogs in the largest font possible so that my grandparents can read this blog (Hi, Grandma Betty, Grandpapa and Grandmama Hulihan and Grandma and Grandpa Cera- no these names are not typed in any particular order of who I love the best- I love you ALL the best!).

Saturday a package arrived in the mail. It was a surprise package from my Mom and I opened it to find four large plastic bags full of all the letters I ever received in my freshman and sophomore years of BYU. I was amazed! I thought I had gone through all my boxes at home, but I must have missed one- or several small shoeboxes). I went through one bag right away- in order to deal with any clutter that comes to my home efficiently). I made a pile of trash and to keep. I had decided to throw most of the letter away and just keep a few as tokens of my time at BYU. So, that's what I did.

Later, while I was in the kitchen, I had the prompting to go into the trash and retrieve the letters I had put there. I did and began to read them. I found one from my Grandma Cera, telling me about what her life was like when she was 20- the age I was when I received the letter. It told about her engagement to Grandpa (it was 7 months long) and about World War 2. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father that that letter did not go in the trash that day. I am now planning to put each and every letter I got, or will receive in a plastic sheet and in a binder labeled " Grandma Betty's cards and letters."

Feel free to write away. I hope to have so many binders and letters that my children will love to read them in our spare room on rainy days.
