I want to share a heartwarming story from the post office last week. We were mailing our care packages to the troops from our "Trick or Treat for the Troops" holiday care package drive, and we met three lovely people who made our day. First, our postal worker was trying to help us decide if we wanted to ship our packages priority or not. It was going to cost substantially more to go priority because most of the boxes were between 40 and 50 pounds. We were pretty sure they would arrive by Christmas, since we were mailing them before Christmas, but we had technically … (4 comments)
