When Colleen sent me a text saying that they had brought us a back "little something" from their trip, I never expected a HUGE bag filled with goodies! The last trip they went on they brought us back cheeses, candies, a huge salmon fillet, sauces, dressing, cookbooks, and more!
This time they went overboard again! They brought us more delicious gourmet cheeses, gourmet mustard's, pancake mixes, bbq sauce and more! They even brought back bath salts just for me! Then at the bottom of the bag was an envelope with JDog, Bailia, and Koda written on it. Koda ripped into it with excitement! Inside was the sweetest note for the kids thanking them for getting their mail while they were gone, and for bringing them food all the time. It said that they were going to buy a gift for each of them, but figured they would like to have money instead. Inside the card was a twenty dollar bill for each of the kids with their names on it.
Koda looked up in shock saying holy cow TWENTY DOLLARS!!??!! This is too much money! I should go and give them a hug!
Bailia couldn't believe her eyes and said why would they give us SO much money?! Wait for me Koda, I'm coming with you!
They ran right over and talked with them for a few minutes. They came home still rambling that they couldn't believe how much money they had given them, and what they planned to do with their new found riches. All of a sudden Koda said I forgot to give them a hug, and ran out the door back to their house! He came back smiling telling me that they loved his hug!
Jdog was at gym when Colleen had brought the package over. So when he got home I let him read the card and gave him his twenty. He was as shocked as the rest of us. He said they shouldn't have done this! Getting their mail isn't a big deal. Why would they give us so much?! So after he ate his dinner he went over to thank them. He came back and said Colleen wasn't home so I couldn't give her a hug, but John answered the door and I gave him knuckles and told him thank you.
John and Colleen have become like another set of grandparents for us. The kids love them, we love them. I am SO grateful to live by such great people, that we will be friends with for life! Even though it isn't enough, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
