Dear Mom,

Thank you for the lovely Valentines Day box! It came in the mail yesterday, and I was so excited to finally have more pumpkin bread. I had no idea you'd baked me THREE loaves! I've heard it's virtually impossible to find Cool Whip in London, but a neighbor did have some canned whipped cream that topped the deliciousness off nicely. Thanks for the Kissables, too. I think I ran around most of last night with a sugar high, so I'm going to have to learn to moderate myself. However, I'm not really sure what those lip candies are, so I haven't tried them yet. I mean, what if they're gum and I accidentally swallow them?

I also love the card that you and Tanner sent me. It was a little soggy when I pulled it out of the box, so I made sure to open it straightaway. It was great to hear your voices, and now I'll have something to listen to any time I feel a little homesick. I'm sorry it cost you $40 to send me that, but I appreciate it more than you know.

Love, Kins
