I am just speechless, and feel so blessed!

It's been one of those days (kids not listening, house is a mess, feelings of being overwhelmed, $38 in the bank) you get the idea.

The doorbell rings and through the window I see the UPS guy driving away. I think to myself "I'm not expecting any packages". There is a small box on the porch, addressed to me. The return address is one that I don't recognize. A bit shocked, I tear the box open and stand there like a fool with my mouth hanging open. This is what was inside.....


No note, no invoice, no clue as to who sent this incredible gift to me. I have wanted this lens for so long, but don't really remember ever voicing that dream to anyone besides my husband. But with money tight, I haven't been able to get it. I've been shooting with my kit lens for about 10 months, and wanted a second lens so badly.

So I hurried and called DH at work to see if he bought it for me, even though in my heart I knew that he didn't. He would have if he could have, but he didn't. So I sat here bawling like a baby, knowing that somewhere, someone had taken the time and money to buy me an anonymous gift, and INCREDIBLE gift, a gift that means more to me than they may ever know. I am just so humbled, so stunned, so thankful.

So, just in case the person who sent this awesome gift to me is someone who reads my blog, I wanted to say thank you so very much. You have done an amazing thing, and I can't tell you thank you enough. Those 2 little words seem so insignificant to me...I wish I could truly express my gratitude.

The last thing my DH said to me when I was hanging up the phone was "Remember to say a little prayer of thanks" and that's exactly what I have done.
