I am the Luckiest Girl Alive!
How can I make such a blanket statement and believe in it so strongly you may ask? No, I have not met all people in the world, nor have they met me, but I still know that no one is as lucky as I am. (Note to self: read this post on bad days!) I do not just "feel" my luck, I know it to be true... In fact I have evidence, three words: My Parents ROCK! On top of that I have photographic evidence as well!
These items were the contents of a box sent unknowingly to me by my parents through the harried international mail system! I was extremely happy to see that I had a package, I didn't even care what was inside it. As I was opening the box I surely did not think I could be any happier than I was at that moment. I mean, getting a package is always wonderful, and it is especially wonderful when you are so far away from home. I know it is not easy to send a package this far, and not cheap either, so I really relish the time spent opening the box! However, when I opened the box and saw, to my surprise, Reese's PB cups, Fiber1 bars and a whole host of healthy organic vegetarian food I felt near to tears!
In Korea I have to forget about my healthy a lot, and I really don't like that, but now I can eat like the healthy vegetarian I dream to be for at least a week. I haven't decided if I should just splurge and eat it all now, save it for Thanksgiving, or spread it out over the rest of the month, rationing it carefully... Thats what I did with the candy corn, I still have some, but unfortunately it has gone a tad bit stale, but its still good!
Anyway, this is a tribute to my amazing parents! I would call them now, but it is pretty late in America, so they might not appreciate it, but I think you all in America should hang with my parents, they are great friends to have! (PS... The "you all" is due to heavy Texan influence over here, three of my co-workers are from Texas, I can't help it, sorry)
Ok, I love you all, and nothing new has happened, except John is rather sick and losing his voice, so send him some e-love if you have time. Byee

Hi Amanda, I enjoy reading your blog but I never know when it is updated. Add me to your email list! It sounds like you are having a great time! I'll miss you at Thanksgiving. Keep writing. Aunt Gwen
Hey Amanda!
I just read all your messages. Pretty cool! (I had lost the link)
Reading them helps me to miss you just a little bit less. So please keep writing! Kiss John from me.
Love,
Pat
