Like many in the long line of RAK victims before me, I came home and checked the mail. Seeing there were packages on the stoop, I thought to myself "What the heck did I order, and how much is the wife going to kill me for it?"
Okay, so maybe they didn't all think that, and Hannah loves getting packages as much as I do, but I still had no idea what these wonderful packages were until I turned the envelope over and saw in amazing big letters: RAK. A stream of profanity spewed from my mouth, and tears came to my eyes. That's not an exaggeration. Hannah wanted to take a pic, but I wouldn't let her. Haha.
You guys. I can't even begin to describe how humbled and honored and speechless I am. Even just writing this, I'm tearing up again. I love pin trading, but I wouldn't still be doing it if it weren't for how amazing this entire community of Disney-philes and pin traders is. Honest. The kindness and generosity of the people here makes me strive to be kinder and more generous, and you've all become a bit of a second family for me here in the crazy world. This is a refuge. Thank you so much for making me welcome and making me feel a part of this phenomenally caring and human world of ours.
Okay, enough sap!
Here's what you all came here for! BANGARANG!!!
We opened the small package from @GreyWyvern first, and you know what they say about a small package....
Big things come in small packages!! Get your head out of the gutter!
First off, that card is so adorable I almost squealed. And the pins!!! THE DAY & NIGHT PIN!!!! AHHHHH! I love Pixar's shorts and that is an absolute favorite of mine. It's like watching an updated version of the old Loony Tunes cartoons, and never fails to put a smile on my face. And that topiary!!! Somehow, I've never seen that one! NEVER! I don't know how I missed that, but holy cow is it awesome. IT'S A SPINNER!!!! Guys, it spins... Thank you so much Grey! Next up was a large box from @SoraPandora (I love being able to tag people!!)! Inside....
WAS ANOTHER BOX!!!! Hahaha. It took me a good thirty seconds to get through the awesome Nemo duct tape, but when I did... SO WORTH IT!!!
So much swag!!! The card was so sweet, and she had picked up on the fact that Hannah and I had just gotten our passports and were considering traveling, so themed her box on that. There's a Peter Pan pop-up book! travel games! a clown fish luggage tag! stickers! a mug! an awesome notepad! AND THREE UP BADGES!!! AHHHH! Sora, you spoiled us.
For a bit of background, UP has always been Hannah's and my favorite Disney movie. Oddly enough, though, I'm Ellie and she's Carl. I proposed to her with a homemade Ellie badge that said "Marry Me?" (left) and made another, much better one (right) for her for our anniversary a year or two ago. These badges mean so much to us, especially since there's two; one for me, and one for her. Thank you so much Sora! And thank you so much DPF!!
