Today started off to a really cruddy day but thanks to 3 incredible people it turned right around! Now these three are people I trust with my life, and are such amazing friends! While I've known some longer than others, they are all equally incredible and close to my heart! These special people are Camille Ostler, Marie Taylor, and Elder Meads, but before I get into my story a little background information needs to come into play. Ever since I was a little kid I have been obsessed with the mail. I remember that I would ride to the post office with my mom all the time and I would beg her to let me check the mail, in hopes that there would be a letter for me, which there never was because why would a child get mail everyday? Any who, my mom would sometimes let me go check it, but I was too short to reach it so she would have to give me a bit of a boost. It's funny that I developed a love of the post office and checking the mail. How it came about I have no idea because I usually ended in disappointment because there was never anything for me. Well I am both happy and embarrassed to report that I still love the post office and checking the mail even at 20 years old. I do get a little more mail nowadays but its usually all from Wells Fargo, in which case I would just rather not get mail. But occasionally I get a letter that I actually care about, the past couple years most of those fun letters have been from Elder Baron, who I am happy to report that he comes home MAY 17! I am very excited! But recently I have been able to get letters from Elder Meads. I love getting letters from him and I have loved getting letters from Elder Baron as well. Okay well now I'm blabbing, back to the story. So I am walking home from my incredibly terrible Understanding Film class still feeling down in the dumps when I check the mail. It was full of nothing for other people until I saw a small envelope with my name on it and nothing else. I opened it and it says "to get your mail, find something you use when it hails". I kind of laugh a little bit because I know it's Camille's doing, so I walk into my apartment and enter Marie. She pulls out her camera because she has to document the process of finding something for Camille because she is at work. Thankfully I had Marie there to help me through some of the more difficult clues, because since she helped make them she was able to tell me when I was getting close. Well long story short, I followed all the clues and found a letter form the one and only Elder Meads! It was such a great letter, and I even got a picture! haha Well needless to say this whole little shindig made me smile and my spirits were very much lifted! Well back to my love for checking the mail. Even though I don't really get that much mail, it's those few times when I do get mail that makes me still love checking the mail! I also love that a memory that started with me and my mom in Pahrump's little post office has continued and I now get to share it with other people! haha Who knew?
