Oh. My. GOD.

This past year has been very hard for me. But these past three weeks have been the worst of this time. I am struggling with many personal issues, as well as assisting a friend in crisis, and it has been very draining. I have been getting barely any sleep, having lots of trouble completing my homework, and have just been very worn out.

Basically:

And I have just been wanting to do this:

But I can't. I have been feeling very trapped and anxious as of late.

I have been getting a lot of support from my wonderful friends from DPF, both on and off the site. We chat all the time, and I am so grateful for all of their company and advice. In chat one day I got mysterious hints that I was being sent some strange, mysterious package from the wonderful Steve (TheOtherSteve) here on DPF. They told me my "screams would be heard across the country". Needless to say I was very curious!

The package was delivered to my home and my mom had to drop it off at my dorm. When she arrived to drop it off today I was like

I ran upstairs and opened it as soon as I was able!

I couldn't believe what was inside!

I did scream. And cry. And my roommate ran into the room concerned.

For those who are not doll collectors...this is a big BIG BIG BIG gift to send to someone else. I literally am still in shock. I keep staring at her in disbelief. I never, EVER thought I would have her in a million years. I have a deep connection with the Designer Princess doll line. It was the first line of collectible dolls that I took interest in and it catapulted my obsession into the doll world. I started with Cinderella on her initial release, then I began to slowly acquire them one by one. I always admired collectors who managed to have all of the dolls. But I always managed to let Ariel swim out of my grasp. She has evaded me a million times, and her price was slowly increasing, so I knew I was never to have her.

I just... cannot believe this. Even writing this again I am tearing up. I did not know a human being could be capable of so much generosity and kindness.
Thank you so SO SO SO much Steve!

More important than the doll to me are the friends I have made and maintained through all of this. I know now who my true friends are, and I appreciate them more than any amount of pins or dolls in the universe. I hope that I can keep them in my "collection" as long as humanly possible. Thank you to all who have been supporting me all throughout the hard times and good times. Steve, Erika, Laney, Jenna, Garret, Hollie, David, and so many more. Thank you.

Thank you all for the well-wishes! It is much appreciated. And all of the praise to Steve is so very deserved! He truly is a great man.
I need to share the Gaston note! It is quite funny!

I tried to record my face but then I dropped my phone when I opened the box and it went black and then the recording disappeared! :lol: Perhaps I was a tad too excited?
