Friday's Letters 1.11.13

Dear Brandon,

In just a few short days you'll be boarding a plane to JAPAN! I can't believe the time has come so quickly. I know that we still have a lot to do before you go and I hope to be able to help you in any way I can. I loved suit shopping with you. You looked smoking hot - true story. Oh and..I'm really sorry my whole iced coffee spilt in your truck and in your lap yesterday.

 

Dear Tag Man,

Your schedule is about to change buddy. I don't want to say it out loud but... it's looking like you will not be venturing overseas with us. It breaks my heart. Each time we snuggle I try to capture the memory for later on this summer when I am dying to see your furry face. You're living arrangements have yet to be made.

 

 

 

Dear Passport,

You're making my life crazy. First, I couldn't find you. Then, I forgot to sign you. Please, please don't prevent me from making the journey of a lifetime when the time comes.

 

Dear Clarisonic,

I have only had you a few days but I do believe you were worth spending ALL my Christmas money on. It's like visiting a spa every morning and night.

 

Dear ER,

You are by far the worst place I have ever tried to take a nap. Thankfully everything came back okay and Brandon's Grandmother is doing fine. It turns out to be pleurisy that hopefully won't come back anytime soon.  

 

 

 

Dear Sister,

I'm glad you kept me company via text while I was waiting at the hospital. I looooved our chat. I will miss texting while gone but that's what gchat is for.

 

Dear baby boy I used to babysit,

I can't wait to spend time with you again when Brandon heads to Japan. I have some exciting things planned for you and your sister. I found this photo yesterday and it had me laughing out loud.

 

 

 

Dear last weekend before Brandon leaves,

Please don't fly by. Thanks.

 

Happy Weekend Everyone!

 

Lauren

Fridays Letter Link UP @ The Sweet Season



Friday's Letters - Week III

Hey all, just back for a jiffy and some Friday's Letters. Leaving again this afternoon to head to the lake for the weekend with some friends from college. To say I'm excited is an understatement. Anyway, I'll let you get on with your life. Have a good weekend.

Dear Little Blue, 

Little Blue is my old car, not to be confused with Big Blue Brandon's  our truck. Anyway..Dear Little Blue. You don't guzzle as much gas but you make me stop more often. I've trained myself to make it with one stop and you're cramping my style with your tiny tank.  Also I feel like I'm sitting on the road driving and the fact that you don't have XM radio makes me like you a little less. I still find enough music for my car dance parties. You haven't stopped me there.

Dear Favorite Blue Dress and Rain Jacket,

Remember how last week I thought I lost you? Eh well I only lost half of you. I found Blue Dress hanging up, where I left it. Thankfully my sweet man surprised me on Tuesday with a new spiffy rain jacket. All is well. Never letting that dress out of my sight again.

Dear Sister, 

Two funny texts this week. Are you kidding me? I mean seriously what do you do all day - get. on.the.ball. In other news. I will be mailing a small bit of your birthday present soon. I think I'm just going to spread it out for the next few months. Sound good to you - good.

Dear Mom,

Remember on Monday when we stayed up until 5 am sewing my new awesome tote? Yeah, I love it and thank you for helping me. 

Dear Holdens,

I looooved getting to meet part of the fam this week. Y'all are wonderful people. Already looking forward to the next visit.

Dear Fresh Garden Veggies,

It doesn't get much better than you. You're delightful smell is intoxicating. Something about the dirt and fresh tomatoes.  Get on it Yankee candle. 

Dear Scorching Hot Temps,

I don't mind you, you can stay, but only for a little bit. You're the reason I endulge guilt free in as many Icee's, Sonic Slushes, and Popsciles I can. Actually now that I think about it I don't need an excuse. I learned that Popsciles make it less hot from my Dad. When we were kids we would go down to the basement where it was cool and have ice pops. 

Dear Husband,

Thanks for making me giggle for a day and a half. You're the silliest person I know. Thanks for not telling me if I overcooked the okra or if that casserole tasted awful. I do believe you enjoyed both and completely forgot once you started in on the banana pudding. I can't imagine my life without you.  I'm sorry I left town and will you miss your game tonight, but you will do just fine without me. I feel it. Thanks for my new jacket - I love it despite what you think. You make me happy!

Friday's Letters - Take 2

I enjoyed Friday's letters so much last week I'm here for round two. 

If you don't care for these types of posts, I'm not making you stay but I would love for you to.

Dear Cat,

My sewing goes much quicker when I don't have to shoo you off my table ever two seconds.

Dear Pool,

Remember how I was coming for you this week? That is until little miss sunshine was being chased by her brother, smashed into the stair banister, and had to be rushed to urgent care. Now I can't see you until next week. All I can say is glad that didn't happen on my watch and she is doing okay. Little champ she is!

Dear Little Shop That Could,

All you needed was some tender loving care and some fresh summery color. You are going to be quite spiffy soon.

Dear Rudeman,

That's our family dog. I'm so glad you are doing better. None of us are ready to say goodbye yet. And if you're getting belly aches from extra dog biscuits, I'm sorry.

Dear 18 Yards of Fabric,

I will cut you.

Dear College Buddies,

I am in on the annual girls lake trip next weekend. I can't wait to eat Cheetos and get stuck in a rain storm and maybe make some new friends like boat jumper.  Also this time I won't forget a bathing suit. Who does that?

Dear Sister,

Please keep texting me comical humor from the internet. I really really enjoy it. Also I haven't forgotten about your birthday gift.

Dear Home Gel Manicure Kit,

You are awesome. I may leave Pink Smoothies on my nails all summer long because of you.

Dear Other Half,

I miss your face. See you on July 3rd. You better have sparklers or black cats or bottle rocket bombs. Until then, have fun in Omaha, New Orleans, OKC, and Memphis. I have some blogger friends in OKC, be sure to tell them hi but don't bring up baseketball. Sensitive subject. Also don't let those chocolate chip cookies go to waste or I'll be mad. How is the new luggage working? That's all really. I would have been okay just to say I miss you and love you but you know me I take the longer more complicated route every time I get the chance. 

Dear Someecards.com,
 You really thought of everything.

Fridays Letters - Take 1

I've never written Friday's Letters before. I imagine myself sitting at a desk and it going exactly like Jimmy Fallon's segment 'thank you notes' music and all. There now you have a great visual to go along with my first attempt. You're welcome.

Dear sewing machine,

I miss your little foot. We are gonna have a major sewing party next week. I've been brainstorming some ideas for you. I think you'll like our new creations.

Dear husband,

It's been so nice to kiss your face, fall asleep, and wake up next to you the last few days. I'm soaking it up because before long we will be miles apart again.

Dear sister,

I hope you have a great birthday tomorrow. Wish I could be home to celebrate but I feel like we got in great quality time last week.

Dear brother, (the little one)

I'm sorry about your crappy week. I love that you always think I'm going to have some great relationship advice to give you. I'm singing 'Love Stinks... ya ya' to you right now.

Dear rain jacket and favorite blue dress,

I'm really sorry I left you in New York. I'm more sorry that I just realized you were missing yesterday. I'm still working on getting you back, not sure if I will have any luck though.

Dear swimming pool,

Next week I'm coming for you and I'm bringing the little monsters to teach them how to swim. Not just that I will be working on my tan too, but not without some SPF. 

Dear Big Blue Truck,

I love you, but you are so expensive to fill up. I initially thought filling Brandon's stomach was going to be the expensive part in this marriage. I clearly thought wrong.

Dear Lydia Holden, 

I am counting down for your big day this weekend. I realize that we have never met but I just can't help to be obsessed with you and your superman. 

Dear Little Shop That Could,

I am sorry for neglecting you. I think about you everyday and how I'm going to make you work.

Dear Self-Doubt,

Get out - I don't want you here. Period

Dear Ashley from Fridays Letters,

Thanks for the great link up. I'm excited to meet some new friends. 

Dear  Awesome person reading this,,

It was probably a waste of your time but I'm glad you wasted your time with me. 

Sincerely,

Lauren
