Little Piece of Mail

How powerful one piece of mail can be, and in many different ways! 

I got home yesterday in a rush to get Kasen ready for his TBall game, as usual on the weeknights.  I see an envelope that say's "Danny, Ashley & Kasen" on the Bed, asked Danny what it was, he said "No wait.. look at what it came in."  So I take the outer, addressed one from him, as I'm rushing around, and take a seat on the bed for a second to see what it says... There it is on the front, our first piece of mail as husband and wife, addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Martinez".  WOW.  Time didn't matter for a second.  Not realizing what the mail may even be, it took me a second to wrap my finger around that one.  Realizing we only had x amount of time to get ready I opened the actual piece of mail now...

There it was, my cousins College Graduation Announcement.  Getting her Bachelors degree at the end of May.  I played kitchen, school, hockey, trampoline football, tackle football, kickball, played in the mud at Grannybobs, had countless sleepovers, played video games, she came with us to Padre every year and stood at the alter with me as I was getting married.... She is a role model to so so many including me.  She went to college on a basketball scholarship and rocket it!  She has made so many proud, and always stayed true to herself, her family and friends.  Her relationship with the Lord stands stronger and stronger each and every day and it is very apparent just in her actions alone.  I can write all this about her and she wont get a big head, haha, she has had many newspaper stories, because that is just who she is!  So, you know who you are, We are proud of you!  Cant wait to see you walk across that stage and get what you have worked so hard for and earned.  We love you!!!
