Driving Home from work - 5:59 PM…

Bruna calls me – “uh, why do we have a package from Ryan??”

Me – Uhhh… I don’t know…

Bruna – Yeah, it’s a box…

Me – A box?? Ok – I’m on my way, be there in no time!

Go go gadget Copter!

11 Minutes later, 6:10 PM…

Me to Ryan via Text: “Why do I have a giant box at my house?”

Ryan: Bahaha. I wonder why…

/shrug.

Scissors please, I say to Bruna…

Box comes off… heavily wrapped in bags I find… A BAG!! A BAG!! A BAG!!! A ZAGFISH BAG ALL FOR ME!!!

I was so happy!! I really liked David’s bag, but this one, all my own!! Zagales14’s Zagfish Zap Bag!! With Mater, Dusty, McQueen!! OMG!!!

6:13 PM

Me to Ryan via Text: O M G

Me to Ryan again: OOOO MMMMM GGGG

Ryan to me: SURPRISE!!! BAHAHAHAAA. #THEPEOPLE’SVICTORY

Me: Holy Sh(zap). I’m like in shock.

AND I STILL HAD NOT OPENED THE BAG!! I HAD NO IDEA THE BAG WAS FILLED WITH THINGS!!!

On opening the bag, we were surprised to see the first page with pins and wonderful notes. Looking past that, we realized that was not the end. No. Pages and pages of this bag had been stuffed with pins for us to keep or zap, and attached to everything were wonderful cards with people expressing their sentiments and gratitude for what we do.

Oh, and the candy – pretty sure Dylan will not be sleeping tonight. He’s on a sugar high… but some of these candies, the chocolates… Kex (Suppperrr Good), Dig N Dips (man these remind me of my youth), Plopp (A-mazing)!!, and Bilar (gummies?)!! In fact, when we took the pictures, some of them are just wrappers because the candy was GONE! Lol!!

We also got a few really cool buttons!! We love to put those buttons on the cover pages of our books because they give the book an identity, if you will!!

Lastly, but definitely not least, there were a couple of unique gifts – a really cool bracelet and an amazing Mufasa pendant!!

Guys, Gals, people of all ages: Thank you!! I think you all should know that we do what we do because you have all made us feel like family. You have all welcomed us with open arms and taught us what this hobby is all about through your friendships and selflessness! When Bruna picked out a couple pins for us to start our collection, I could not have imagined we’d be joining such a great group of people that would become extended family; people from all over the world who we will soon be meeting, and spending time with.

The pins are amazing!! We will be keeping some that belong in our collections, and we will be spreading the love with others that have been included in the zap bag!! But thank you all so much for all the wonderful goodies!!

So thank you, again, AgentR, Rocke01, Tndrheart, Fantasmic, Tbird, Reeneibakini, Vixy, Snoffsan, Firebaby22, Norlando319, SiuJerkJai, Rasputin, Motherknowsbest, Possum2x, Sorapandora, Echan50, Jrdnsmom, Goofy_Moe, Bjean, Disneycrazee, Suzziesue, and Purplerose!! (If I missed anyone, please let me know, as there is a lot of pins/notes/candy/other goodies and it became quite a mess pretty quick!!)

PS - I don't get Photobucket and how the pics look right there, and not here. So... turn your computers upside down!! LOL!!
 
As I run after Dylan, trying to get him ready for bed, while he runs around beyond hyper from all that candy and chocolate, I will take some time to say thank you!! Thank you all for the amazing gesture! Thank you all for being so warm and welcoming to our little family from the very beginning. You all have inspired us to do our zapping project and to get this kind of sweet gesture is just beyond humbling. Thank you for the pins, thank you for the notes, thank you for the kind words, thank you for the candy, thank you for our one of a kind bag and above all, thank you for lighting up our little man's face every time he saw something we pulled out of the bag (He especially loved those light-up badges!)!! I look forward to meeting some of you soon and hopefully next year Alex and I can make the trip to Docfish's party and meet some more of you! :hug::lgm:

Thank you so much!! Everything we received is amazing!! I think I can speak for both David and Amy, and Bruna and myself when I say that zapping others makes this hobby special for us!! With all the wrong in the world, and all the problems life can bring, it makes us happy to be able to occasionally help brighten up someone's day, sometimes when it is needed the most. I don't think any part of the Zagfish duo will stop the zapping any time soon!!
 
Yay! I'm glad you finally got it! I had been on the lookout for this post forever and somehow missed it! Luckily rocke01 showed it to me!! Congrats! And thanks so much for making this place the joy that it is :)
