How to say I love you

I had a tiny pink slip in my in tray the other day from POSTA the Kenyan Post office.  Our office messenger, Simon - wonderful Simon, takes these slips to the post office and brings back your goodies. 
I didn't know who or where it was from.  To my fabulous surprise it was a package from the States from my wonderful friend Lindsay.  Words cannot describe how happy, special and loved it made me feel!!  I could not, and would not fight back my tears of utter joy.  She decorated a box with SoCal nostalgia which was awesome!! AND I absolutely needed a box for all my pens and things but could not find one here in Kenya -- little did I know that the one I needed was coming with love oozing out of it, from Miss Lindz!  It is filled with magazine articles that I cannot wait to devourer this weekend, lotion, anti-bacterial gel :), Princess lip gloss :D, some candy I will eat after lunch! and a Feng Shui charm for happiness.
Love love love, so much love is all I can say!  Lindsay - you have brought me so much happiness which makes that charm even stronger!
Thank you Lindsay for being an amazing friend and keeping in touch even though 180degrees of the planet separates us!  I love you!!!

It's official - I AM KENYAN

I just got this email copied to the whole office and I am so proud and happy of my new heritage!!
