Have the time of your life. dear San Fran, oh by the way we'll see you in the morning! dear hotwire, why have I not used you before? Thanks for getting us a good last minute deal. dear freaking awesome hotel in San Fran, you are gorgeous but hopefully we will only be using you for sleeping. dear readers, if you couldn't tell we made a last minute decision to skip town this weekend. Halle-frickin-lujah! Much needed vaca. Hopefully I'll have some pictures up on tuesday. We are leaving tonight and getting back in sometime on Monday (which happens to be the Huz' birthday!).

Have a great weekend!

Friday's Letters

dear weekend, Come to me!

dear husband, I can't wait to sleep in with you on Sunday! By far my favorite part of weekends.

dear work, only 10 more shifts and we will be going our separate ways.

dear people, remember a few weeks ago when I said I was going to start writing a book? Well I sat down and wrote like 3 pages and I haven't even touched it since... maybe that book isn't going to happen. I thought something like that might happen.

dear pen pal (aka: Lauren), I will finally be mailing out your letter today. I'm sorry I'm such a bad person!

dear nephew (Hatimu), I know that you are only 7 and you don't read my blog or even know it exists, but Happy Birthday!! I can't believe how fast you are growing up!

dear other nieces and nephews, I've never mentioned you in my blog before because I am a bad aunt. Plus I'm not sure I ever write posts on your birthdays. Plus none of you are going to read this anyways so I figured it didn't matter. 

dear readers and other people, I'm going to be launching something new soon.... hopefully it is successful. More details to come!

dear friday letters, I'm thankful for you right now because I didn't have any post planned for today, and I only had about 30 seconds to write this before I have to run off and start working more on that thing that I mentioned above ^^ that I will be launching soon.

dear anyone who actually read this, I'm done now. Thanks for reading.

Friday's Letters

Haven't done one of these in awhile, but I'm back at it today!

Dear Car,  Please, please start having a working air conditioner. I am tired of your inconsistency and I don't want to spend $800 to get you fixed.

Dear People, Don't make fun of me, but I'm thinking about writing a book. A fictional book. Blogging is great, and a wonderful place to write, but I'm wanting to venture into the world of imaginative writing a bit. And I have always wanted to write a book.

Maybe I will never finish, and if I do, maybe it will never be published or even read by anyone other than my husband and myself, but I still want to try.

Dear Self,  You need to stop being so lazy.

Dear House,  Can we just work something out this week where you clean yourself? Thanks.

Dear Life, Just tell me where I am going to be living in a month from now, that is all I want to know!

If you would like to write some letters of your own, head on over to Adventure's of Newlyweds!

Friday Letters

dear week, You have been crazy and awesome. Truly this has been one of the best weeks that I have had in a very long time. There hasn't been anything particularly special, just an over all sense of joy, and excitement.

dear OSU, Ahhh... thank you for accepting me!! I'm so so excited to actually begin pursuing my bachelors degree. It is definitely over due. I was very afraid I was going to have to tell all my friends and family that you rejected me. But alas, I am officially a beaver now! I know my in-laws are happy about that!

dear self, Can I just tell you how proud of you I am? Really this has been a rough journey to get to where we are now, but it has been well worth it. I am feeling more confident than I have felt... maybe ever. I know that there will be more rough times in life, but I pray that you won't forget how much strength you have.

I'm changing things up a little bit today with my friday letters. For anyone who doesn't know I've been seeing a counselor for anxiety for about a month now, you can read all about it here. My husband has been writing me daily letters for awhile now, and I wanted to share the one he wrote for me today with. It was so sweet and made me cry a lot.

Dear Tanya,

I am so, so thankful for your counseling sessions. I think its exactly what you have been needing. Last night on our walk I was so happy to hear you talk about how you feel powerful and confident. I don’t say this to be mean in any way, but I feel like I’m getting the woman I learned about in Life School. You are coming back to your old self (in a very good way), I can see the fear leaving you and your strong confidence returning. It makes me so happy to see it! I knew that it was always there, just waiting to come out. It did at times, you couldn’t always hold back who you are, but now its coming out in leaps and bounds. And I love it! You have always been my amazing wife, the entire time we have been married. I have always been thankful we are together, and been thankful that you are my wife and you are wonderful for our entire marriage. Now though, I continue to have increasing reason to be thankful. You are a strong, confident woman and you amaze me. Continue to be you in every way. I love you and will continue to love you no matter what. 

Sincerely,

Your Husband

dear alex, Thank you, thank you, thank you for never doubting in me. You are an amazing man. I know that this whole process has been hard for you to watch, but I am so thankful that you have been there for me to count on the entire way. You know that you are an amazing man when my counselor constantly tells me how great you are. I'm thankful for you every day of my life.

dear life, Thank you for continuing to be amazing, even when I doubted you.

what I wore & friday letters

Shirt: AE {very old shirt of my husband's} / Pants, Shoes, Belt: Target / Jacket: Nordstroms / Bracelet {Necklace}: Fred Meyer / Tank Top: Old Navy / Glasses: Nine West {from my optometrist}

dear husband's shirt, I know that you are way way too big for me and maybe even a little unflattering, but I love you! I find myself wanting to wear you with everything. Maybe it is because you technically belong to my husband {but are far too small for him}, or maybe it is just because of your color. Either way, I love you and probably find excuses to wear you far too often.

dear bret {my cat}, You kill me! I'm not sure how any one thing can have so much cuteness rolled up into one. You are the cuddliest cat I have ever met, and I absolutely love it. You are such a sweetheart and are always doing the most adorable loving things.

dear carissa, I'm so blessed by our friendship and I'm so happy that we have known each other for almost 20 years!! I can't believe that. You are such a sweet and amazing person and every time I leave from our coffee sessions I always come home and tell Alex how awesome you are. Thanks for being my friend for so many years!

dear coffee, I LONG to be reunited with you. It has been far too long since I have drank a real cup of coffee and I miss it dearly. {I can't drink coffee because I am mildly hypoglycemic and even decaf makes me incredibly shaky}.

dear sun, Please don't leave us! I need you in my life!

There you have it! Join in and link up!

First Friday Letters

I love this link up idea from Adventures of Newlyweds. Writing letters to inanimate objects {as well as people} is kind of one of my favorite things to do.

So here we go!

dear friday, Thank you for coming so quickly! I'm not sure I could handle another day of work, because 3 days is just way too much work for me.

dear blog friends, Really? No comments on my ridiculous post yesterday? Not even to tell me that I am crazy, or weird or that you don't want to be my "friends" anymore? I was pretty embarrassed to write it and, well, I would have continued to feel like a blogging failure had it not been for my RLF {real life friends} who forgave me simply because it was a dream.

Which brings me to:
dear rlf {real life friends}, Thank you for not thinking I am crazy, and finding the humor in my absolutely ridiculous dreams!! Because of you I may continue to post some more of those puppies. There are plenty more where that one came from. Although I think that may have been the most outlandish. These things really happen to me people! I would not make this up! I don't enjoy being a freak, it just happens.

dear husband, Thanks for not judging me for being obsessed with my blog yesterday. Sometimes I just have those days {or weeks}. I promise not to be obsessive this weekend and spend lots of time with you! Well, at least while I am taking breaks from my homework.

dear homework, You forgot to inform me of how unbelievably time consuming you were going to be. I'm gonna have to ask you to cut yourself back a bit, you are really getting in the way of my blogging life. And my personal life. And my precious weekends. And... well, just life in general.

dear english teacher, Why do you hate me? I can not spend 50 hours a week on your homework. I need to pass my other classes and have to have a life too. I'm sure you remember what that was like. Plus, if you didn't give us so much homework you wouldn't have to grade so much homework! This seems like a fair trade to me.

dear someone who shall remane nameless, I'm pretty sure you were sent to this earth to torture me and my husband and everyone around us. If you could just tone down the crazy a few notches that would really make my life a lot less miserable.

dear erin {from liy}, How are you so awesome? Ever since I found your blog I can't wait for you to write a new post. You are probably the funniest blogger/person that I have ever read/met. Teach me how to be cool like you.

The End.
