You've Got Mail...

I hold my breath and I push the button. "Connecting"....(spinning circle)...."Checking for mail"....(spinning circle)....give the iPhone a little shake to encourage it to hurry the heck up... (spinning circle)....and finally when I'm just about ready to throw the phone out the window and onto the ever-expansive interstate flying by..."UPDATED!!" My eyes dart from the progress bar and ravenously search the inbox like a child racing down the stairs on Christmas morn', pausing just long enough to look up at the tree before tearing into all the gifts.

And then, that rush.

We have mail. Good, kind, warm-the-heart, belly laugh, how on earth did we get so lucky mail. And just before tearing into them to read and re-read each one again and again, I pause to look up at the road ahead and think about what a gift they really are.

In the past week we have gotten so many wonderful emails & comments pouring in from the incredible people we met on the PUG tour. And that seems so backwards because we should be the ones thanking THEM!! You all were so amazing and took such good care of us and we appreciate that SO much! Since we couldn't possibly do service to your words by just trying to repeat them, we decided to pick a few of our favorites to put up (and believe me there were so many more than this! it was so hard to choose!) We've been working really hard on writing back to each of you, so if you haven't heard back from us yet I promise you will very, very soon! You guys amaze us!

Much love,
M:)
