23

Where do I begin? First thing this morning I received a huge box from home filled to the brim with goodies. Thank you so much, family, for making me feel special even when I'm far away. Sweet Erin and Mike sent me a wonderful New England gift. And...my German family threw me a surprise party this afternoon (with cake, candles, "American napkins," and champagne). Tonight I think I'll watch a couple of episodes of "24" in my pajamas then sleep in tomorrow!
