A Taste of Biola

So today I got this massive box (that was super heavy) from one of my closest friends ever (Adri - one of my college roommates), and I was like "seriously what in the WORLD could be in this thing?!".

Oh how she knows me. And how she knows how to make my birthday unexpectedly special.

Friends, she took the time to go buy all of my favorites and some of hers (for me to try) from my favorite store EVER when I lived in Cali: Trader Joe's.

She called it my Trader Joe's care package to remind me of Cali. And she put a little note on each thing. Super thoughtful and what an amazing idea! Because, yes - I miss that store like crazy sometimes!! There was one right down the street from Biola.
I'm excited to try the new things and have already ripped open a few. (Adri you KNOW what I ripped open first!). Love my sweet friend and her gift of encouragement and making people feel special.

And since I've moved here to Arkansas, I've been blessed to make a few super close friends (that I've talked about on here before). Two of these bought me my first little package of girlie stuff for our new baby girl over the weekend!! This was officially the FIRST girl things I have so it was even more special.

Love my friends (and not just because they bought me super fun gifts!).
