Birthday Packages

My birthday passed a few weeks ago but I wanted to write a quick post about the two packages that I received in the mail.  This was my second birthday since I married my hubby a little over a year ago but for some reason both my hubby and my maid of honor (who happens to be my sister) sent me packages this year addressed to my maiden name.

The first package to arrive was from my amazing hubby.  It was delivered a couple of days before my actual birthday and was a complete surprise.  When the postman handed it to me I was puzzled at first as to who it was from because it was addressed to my maiden name.  When I took a closer look at the shipping label I recognized my hubby's handwriting and saw his name and address listed as the sender.  I had to laugh a little.  I  wondered to myself... why would my hubby send me a package addressed to my maiden name?  Did he forget he was married to me and that I took his name?  In his defense, this was the first time that he had officially sent me mail since our wedding and the last time he had mailed me anything we had not been married yet.  What is funny though is that when I asked him about it, he denied doing it and I had to actually show him the box over the web cam to prove that he had. He hadn't even realized that he had done it.  Poor hubby.  It was so sweet of him to send me a package and I felt bad for pointing out his mistake but it did make me laugh.

Ironically, I would receive another package address to my maiden name two weeks later.

The second package was from my sister.  It was sent to my mom's house since I was visiting here there.  My mom's birthday is soon after mine so my sister had mailed our gifts together.  She had addressed the box to both of us but had listed my name second so again it appeared that the box was addressed to my maiden name.  I know she did it that way because it was going to my mom's house and that is of course her last name but she should have listed my first name first and then my mom's and the  last name so it didn't read as my maiden name.  I laughed and told my mom about the package from my hubby.  She agreed that it was pretty funny.  She is the one who pointed out that the packages had been from my maid of honor and my husband... the two people who should know best what my last name is!!  LOL
