Prom and Mail Drop

PROM: I’ve finally posted pictures from it, way back when we were in Rugby, ND. It’s posted on August 2nd, so go back to find it.

Mail Drop: Thank you to everyone who sent letters and cards of encouragement and congratulations on nearing the end and making it so far already. On this last mail drop, I was inundated with mail, to the point that everyone else took notice. Actually, it was hard not to take notice; there were 21 pieces in all (for disclosure, I didn’t count it, someone else did and told me). It was touching to read through the notes and words. One of the funny pieces of mail sent was an envelope (no return address written) filled with a folded sheet of white paper, blank with no writing. I’m assuming that it was a decoy mail sent because I enjoy receiving mail so much, too funny. Also, my friend Dan sent issues of TIME and Entertainment Weekly, both of which have already been read: TIME before dinner and EW after dinner over dinner #2, a Big Mac meal at McDonald’s. The fun mail is too numerous to go over it all, but again, thank you for sending it along. It’s reassuring to know that’s a whole slew of people across the country supporting me as I’ve made my way through it.
