Mail.

I have never loved getting mail more than I do now. Everyday it's a race to the mailbox, and I pretty much hold my breath while I open it. Seeing as I now have three of my closest guy friends on missions, I look forward to their letters every week and sometimes I won't even read them for awhile, I'll just set them down on the counter, maybe move them to my room, and then bring them back upstairs and then finally read them. I like to savor the moment ya know? Sometimes when I open them I even squeal with delight a little bit, it's like the anticipation you would get when you were little and you got the letter of who your new school teacher would be the next coming year. I would look forward to that letter for weeks and weeks when I was younger and now it's the same way. I guess you don't fully appreciate mail unless you have people you really care about sending it to you, and especially if that's your only means of communication with those certain people. Needless to say..i love mail.
