I finished work today around 3:30. I ran down to Wal Mart to pick up the rest of our photos to put into Aiden's photo album. Ran back up to the post office, got there at 3:54. They closed at 4:00! Oh no, and there were 2 people ahead of me! I got the big flat rate box from the clerk because they were out of them on the shelf in the lobby. I packed that box as fast as I could, time - 4:06. The girl came around to lock the door, so no one else could come in, but I was locked in, no matter, I kept packing! I taped that box up, turned and looked at the clerk with a "please help me 'look' on my face and don't make me leave and come back tomorrow!!" Judy said,"I'll get ya right here at this window" -- YES!! She gave me a label to put the address of the Holt office in Seoul, Korea. I filled it out, then ran out of room at the bottom -- ugggg! Had to ask for another address label - time 4:10! I gave her the box and she said, "oh this is gotta go through customs." OMGosh, then she gave me this receipt to fill out with things like 'list items in package, the addresses', etc, time - 4:15! Judy never said anything, just kept working! I finally filled that out, gave it to her and she put all that info into her computer, time - 4:19!
Then she let me take a picture of it! Time - 4:22! Judy at the White House post office is AWESOME!!!!! She did all this and never complained. I thanked her twice and tried to hurry up and leave. I am going to drop by there in the next day or so and give her a thank you card and $5.00. She went above and beyond and she deserves something!!!
Yeah, Aiden's care package is on it's way! The next time Aiden's Foster Mother takes Aiden to Holt for his monthly checkup, the Holt workers will give them his care package. Most of the time when a child received a care package, Holt will take a picture of the child and his/her care package and send it to the adoptive parents! I will be stalking my email for the next month. (I do this already to see if we've gotten any notices from other things, waiting to be approved.) So now I'm on double duty checking email!! I am sooooo glad to have that on it's way!! Life is good! :)
