26/366


See this box?

january2012-5

It’s taken quite the journey to make it to my kitchen table.
And I was so excited to receive it today that I jumped up and down and danced a jig for the kind doorman who presented it to me.
My mother sent this box Decemeber 8th and the post office assured her delivery in 8 days. 
It arrived 49 days later. 
We had almost given up hope in a skype discussion a few weeks ago. 
But the next day Matt received a letter with my mom’s name in it.
{thank you universe}
If this is how you spell her name.

We went through a number of hoops...
{remember, this is Cartagena}
5000 COP,
a signed copy of our cedulas ,
but it was worth the wait
26.366
to celebrate our third Christmas this evening!
