My cousin and I email back and forth quite frequently. We live a good distance from each other, so this is basically how we stay in touch with each other. She owns an import company and so she spends a lot of time overseas. It is nice to have the email and know that we can still keep each other up to date, even though she is a half a world away.

Recently, she was on a buying trip in China. I kept up with the daily emails and I even found free website translation so I could learn how to sign off my emails in Chinese. This impressed her and I think it was a really cool idea. I decided that I was going to use this next time she goes to Italy as well.

She and I are very close because of these daily emails. I can’t wait until next month when I actually get to go and see her. We are taking a trip down to where she lives so she can meet our new baby. It will be a nice break.
