What are the odds?!
First off, for those who don't know, I'm in Afghanistan. Today, we got an Operation Gratitude care package. It is a random package that this charity sends to our unit. They have some good stuff in them! I opened the box today and among the snacks and goodies, there was a letter. I opened the letter and GUESS WHAT!? IT CAME FROM AN ADDRESS ABOUT 300 YARDS AWAY FROM WHERE I GREW UP! A 6th grade girl named Rose wrote it, with a return address, asking to write her back. The odds of ME opening a RANDOM box like that, and it's sender being somebody who likely is going to the same high school I went to are extraordinary! So I wrote a quick note and mailed it to her, to say thanks and tell her how crazy that was that I get a letter from my small hometown. Just thought I'd share this with you guys. It made my day. :)

You're inquiring about the cuteness of a 6th grader. Hardly important.
