Once a Day


I've been out of control with the mailbox lately. Just today, I checked it four times: once when I got home for lunch, and then when I was leaving back to school. I got out of band early today, so I had just enough time to go home, check the mail, and promptly turn around to go to work. I got off of work early, so I had just enough time to go home, check the mail, and promptly turn around to go back to campus to take a test. Okay, so we got no big fat pieces of mail at all today (not even junk mail or newspaper ads), so the first couple times I checked was just to make sure that the mail had even come that day. Most likely, my mission call won't come until next week, but in the meantime, I am only allowing myself one visit to the mailbox a day. This is out of control.

I can tell you are excited. I remember Emily calling me at work at something like 10:00pm (I was working a game) and saying "I think you should check the mail today." She was the only one who knew I was waiting for my call besides Mom and Dad. She didn't pull the envelope out, but called me instead. When I got home from work around midnight or later, I checked the mail. And then promptly hid the envelope until Utah siblings came over the next day or so....

One big fat piece of mail!

Payday!!! (remember when we played a whole year? or was that Heidi?...)

Heidi said...

Haha. I loved the first sentence of this post. And the rest of it, too. But I particularly laughed at the first sentence.

And, oh my goodness that game of Payday took forever! I think it burned me out from wanting to play it again for a long time. I think we all might've played it together in the basement...

And speaking of us three in the basement, do you remember when someone said, "Guys, I think it just got darker." Haha! We had fun as kids.

Oh man, Payday memory lane! Remember when you'd get a good deal on the yard sale? Or when I thought the board space said "Deal or butter" instead of "Deal or buyer"? And the cheesy names of the bills, and the Monster Charges that we never did quite figure out, and the radio roll-in contest? And the lottery! Everyone antes $100, bank antes $1000. We should definitely play that game again just to bring back memories! =)

Hey. Remember when Emily's big fat piece of mail came to our box in Midland instead of her box in Utah?! We paid to have it overnighted to her -- she was prolly the only person to receive her call on a Sunday, let alone a Mother's Day!

Jennifer said...

Yeah, and remember when you conferenced called with SJ and Emily and the family (well, in Midland) with Emily opening her call on Mother's Day and I had to find out later on my Mother's Day call not connected with SJ's Mother Day mission call??

Emily said...
