My sweet, amazing, generous, beautiful...

PARENTS!

And my sweet husband! So a couple weeks ago (about week 2 of the move), I was a little (a lot) homesick! I was ready to get on a plane and head back...vacation was over! Well, my wonderful husband emailed my Mom to tell her that I was homesick and could she please send something to cheer me up! Well, I am no longer homesick (for the most part) but it definately cheered me up to have a box waiting for me when I got home from work today!
Now I knew it was coming, but I didn't know what it would contain...so...DRUMMROLLL...
Some pretty great stuff! I got a blazer! I have been wanting one for a while but shopping here in New Zealand is super pricey so I have not bought ANY item of clothing since we've arrived! Crazy...I know! And it was too warm in Texas to warrant buying one before we left! So, I finally have one! And it fits perfectly! I also got a scarf, super cute! A bible study by Priscilla Shirer that I can do with a group from my church! A light reading book and best of all...
MY FAVORITE! Dark chocolate toffee almonds...yum! These make me think of late night Bachelor Pad/Bachelorette with Daniel and Lauren :) Miss you guys!




Ben even got a little Pringles treat and he stopped chewing long enough to smile for the camera!

I also came home to find this from my sweet sister-in-love because I have been jealous of the Pumpkin Spice Latte/Fall craze that is happening in the US. Now, I know it's winter here already but it's just not the same as Fall in the States, my favorite time of year!
YAYY! So many pumpkin recipes! Now, I'm not sure if they have canned pumpkin but I have seen lots of REAL pumpkins at the grocery store...might just have to figure out how to make that into pureed pumpkin. Well, that is a pretty long blog just to say "my family is amazing!" LOVE YOU!

Love you too!!
PS - the pumpkin soup recipe tells you how to purée your own pumpkins - super easy & freeze-able :)
