American Family Friends!

A bag of American candy corn, a Walmart fruit snack, and fruit leather from Costco deserve a post all to themselves. But the saint who gifted them to me deserves a huge shout out and a big, fat THANK YOU.

In my ward, I befriended the cutest family. Beth Schellhous is the saint who portioned me a part of her holiday treat stash and her husband was beyond generous in agreeing to ship home a package for me from the states while he is there on a business trip. Let's just say, I am extremely blessed to have found a friend in these people. Not to mention, their three children are adorable, well-mannered, and have traveled to way cooler places than I have.

When I went to their house to deliver my package, I walked into a home full of love, color, and Christmas!! Nativities perched on every surface and a sparkling tree in the corner of their living room brought a flood of emotions as I thought of the holidays and my family. Each nativity was from a different place in Europe and one, I believe, was from Africa. Seriously, I loved their house!

“Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”
Henry van Dyke
