So I have this cousin Jennifer. I have a lot of cousins, but Jennifer and I have always clicked. She always was really nice to me and always included me in the "big kid" stuff when the family would get together, since I'm the youngest. When I was little, she was also my babysitter. All these years later, we're still pretty tight.
A while ago Jennifer joined the Navy. It turns out she hates it, but likes to travel. She sends me postcards from all her stops and randomly sends little "thinking of you" cards.
The other day, a package came from her. I ignored the gingerbread cookies I was making to rush over and open it. Inside was a bunch of cool things from her latest stop, China. She sent me a wallet, compact mirror, a happy little wooden doll, and of course a post card from Hong Kong. My mom also got a little happy yellow kitty bank that's going to bring us good luck and money!!
I'm so glad to keep hearing from Jennifer. She's the funniest and is like a big sister to me. I wish she could come home for Christmas...
