Josie sent a package from Spain. It took about a week for it to get here from Spain and it came by UPS. I sent Josie a package last week and I'm not sure how much it weighed but it only had 2 bags of marshmallows, about 10 pkts of hot cocoa, a shaver (lightweight), and a couple letters and it cost over $29 to ship. I think the coca pkts weighted down the pkg. But I'm thinking that when we mail Christmas gifts it will be only lightweight items and as small as possible. lol
It has been so much fun reading Josie's blog and seeing her pictures. I'm hoping one day to be able to go back to Spain with Josie and have her show me around. And it would be great to meet her host family and to thank them in person for caring for my sweet Josie. Lots of people ask if we are going to go to Spain before Josie comes home and the answer to that is no. I feel strongly that this is Josie's exchange and her experience and I don't want to take away from that in any way. Besides, the expense of a trip like that is more than we can handle right now. Even if it was affordable, I don't think it is our place to intrude on her time.
With Josie being gone, Carolyn has been sleeping in Josie's bed and has pretty much taken over Josie's room. Carolyn says that she sleeps better in Josie's bed. :) It still seems so hard to believe that Josie is so far away. And it just seems so overwhelming to think about her being gone for 9 more months. I just can't focus on that. Right now I focus on updates on Josie's facebook page and blog updates. Thank you Lord for modern technology!
