Several pieces of snail mail I’ve received in my lifetime stand out for me, such as:

• My first published article (a two-page on quiet times, published in a small Christian teen magazine)
• My wait-list letter from Rice University (significant not because I still wanted to go by that point, since I’d already decided on Baylor, but because my pride wanted me to say I’d actually been accepted to Rice and not wait-listed)
• My care packages from Mom and Dad at Baylor
• My offer letter from Southwest
• My first commendation letter from Colleen (SWA President)
• My first issue of Parenting magazine (this week)

Yep, we have a trial subscription. Where’s my minivan and soccer practice schedule?
