Ok so a tiny little story,
Last year, after joining the board, I was excited about all the contests and happenings going on, though unfortunately I couldn't really join in as much as I would have hoped.
New year, new board members, new board,and loads of fun at the convention,I've been really excited to try and participate as much as I can. I was happy to be told we are going to be able to be a part of Baby Explorers travels around the world. I was disappointed to not be able to do cards and secret santa because of all the stuff we've had to do for going home, and every day life.
Soooo, a few days ago, I got a package (actually, Caitlyn did) and I saw who it was from. I was thinking "hmm.. very odd this
person sent it as I just assumed someone else would be sending it". I figured it was B.E., but the package felt funny... not exactly what a baby pony should feel like.
I opened it up, and what do I find ................................................
........................................................................................................
A lovely letter written to Caitlyn and a Beanie Baby Kitty ( her favorite toy, next to ponies that is ). I was absolutely lost for words at how kind this community of pony collectors is.
Kitty is now resealed, and tucked in Cait's carry-on luggage and awaiting her reaction once we are on the plane.
It's been really tough being away from home, my family, and my old life back in America. It's been especially difficult starting over again somewhere kind of strange, meeting new people (especially when your painfully shy), and just over-all trying to feel at home. Meeting everyone here has been wonderful, and I really appreciate everyone that has been so kind to us.
It gives a lot of hope amongst all the yucky things you hear about day after day, and it gives someone like me something to look forward during the day, when Jay and Cait are away for the day at work and school.
Sooooo MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!
AND
Thank you so much Mummymeadowsweet and Joanna for your lovely letter and kitty to Caitlyn, it really made my Christmas!
Love
JEN
