I found out about the Cara Box link up hosted by Kaitlyn @ Wifessionals immediately following Christmas and knew I had to join in the fun! Honestly, this has been one of the best months in my blogging career so far because I've formed so many NEW friendships! I love that!
This month, I was matched with Brooke, who sent me a package. And Amanda, who I sent a package to.
Ironically, Amanda and I have known eachother for about a year already and just so happened to get matched. I found that so exciting. Because I know her so well, she was super easy and just plain fun to shop for! Nothing like sending one of your besties a package "just because!"
Brooke and I, however, had never crossed paths. But when we did, the two of us really hit it off. We e-mailed back and forth for days getting to know eachother and she has been nothing but a blessing to my life since! She is a sweetheart with a HUGE heart and I could not be more grateful that we were matched!
One of my favorite things about Brooke is how thoughtful she is! She wrapped each item individually and wrote a little note to me on each one. I was literally grinning from ear to ear the entire time I was opening the package. Her thoughtfulness blows me away!

The other thing that meant a lot to me was the heartfelt card she wrote. You see the part at the bottom when she says: "While shopping, I thought of all your talents, your heart for children, your courage, and I prayed for you."? Yeah. That. THAT made me cry. It was a huge blessing to hear those words from such a dear friend!
Inside all of those thoughtful packages were 5 things that have been missing from my life for far too long:
- A waterbottle to keep me hydrated and to help me stick to my resolution to drink more water!
- Dry shampoo, hair curlers for perfect waves, and pretty bobby pins to help me stick to my resolution to try some new things with my hair and get the heck over my hair challengedness!
- A notebook with my initial on it to stick to my resolution of listing my blessings day in and day out!
The package she sent me was encouraging, sweet, and so beyond thoughtful. Like I said, I've gained a DEAR friend through this link up and absolutely adore her. :-)
My favorite part of the package, though, was what she had written on the package containing the notebook...
Thank you so much for being there for me, Brooke. And thank you for speaking my many love languages. ;-) You are a doll! XOXO!
