A Little About Me

Hi, I'm Trisha,

A few years ago I moved from Scottsdale to Moon Valley in Phoenix, Arizona, and really had no idea how much I was going to love it here. My husband, Steven, has been part of the Moon Valley community for most of his life. When I met him over three years ago, he introduced me to the neighborhood and the people who make it so special, and it didn't take long before it felt like home to me too.

I fell in love with Moon Valley, the people, the friendships and just how close-knit this community really is. Steven and I got married a little over a year ago, and then somehow we decided getting married wasn't enough of an adventure and we bought Moon Valley Postal Center too.

The store has been here since 1988, which I think is pretty amazing. We've gotten to know so many people just from being behind that counter. People come in to ship packages, send mail, pick up mail from their personal mailboxes, purchase gifts, print documents, make copies, or sometimes just because they need a little help figuring something out. We see our regulars, hear about their families, laugh a lot, share stories, and have made some really wonderful friendships along the way. Some people come in for a package and end up staying just to talk. That's probably my favorite part.

I think being around all of that is really what got me thinking about Another Epic Year. I wanted to create something fun and personal that showed up in your actual mailbox. Something that made you smile before you even opened it. Something that reminded you that there are still little things in life worth looking forward to.

I have lots of stories I want to share, but I'm going to save those for my letters because that's part of the fun. :)

And if you live nearby, come see us! You'll find Steven behind the counter at Moon Valley Postal Center most days, and I'm usually there with him on Saturdays. Whether you need to ship a package, check your mailbox, send something special, purchase a gift or just need a little help, we would love to see you. We truly appreciate every person who walks through our doors and chooses to support our small business.

Moon Valley has become a really special part of my life. We love being part of this community, and we are incredibly grateful for the friendships we've made and for our customers who continue to support Moon Valley Postal Center every day. That's really what I hope Another Epic Year can do. Take a little bit of what I love about this community and send it out into the world, one mailbox at a time.

I'm so glad you found your way here, and I can't wait to share what's coming.

Here's to Another Epic Year.

Love,
Trisha
xoxo
