So this used to be our mailbox. One day I was outside working in the front yard when the mail man came by. As he handed me our mail he told me how he hated our mailbox and it was always a pain to fit all the mail we get into it. Of course with Nick we get ESPN the mag, Snowboarder mag, Transworld, SI... I get Martha Stewart, Net Flicks.. So yes we have a lot of larger mail.
I also didn't like our mailbox and agreed with the mailman. We also needed our street address to be more visible so I bought this nice new mailbox.
The funny part of this story is that just after Nick and I finished hanging it we were sitting in our living room watching college football when the mailman came by. Once he saw the mailbox we heard him say "OH YES!" and then as he walked by our front window he was shaking his head back and forth like he couldn't believe we had changed it and he had the biggest grin on his face. I was so excited that he was so excited, it just reminds you to appreciate the small things in life.

I love the mailbox, and I love even more that you got to hear the mailman's response to it! We don't always get positive reinforcement so quickly. Love it!
saving one mail man's sanity at a time! way to go!
I don't even think I know what my mailman looks like.
Love the mailbox. I can't believe how out of control your veggies are!! Your boys are super cute too. XOXO
That is so funny! I would have bought a 2ft X 2ft mailbox just to tease the mailman!
Oh that is funny! Do you ever stop?
