Today, I decided to participate in Friday Letters with Ashley in order to write a letter to everyone in my life. Keep reading, because you should all be included!
Dear Nick,
Thanks for making me laugh when I’m sad or upset over the small and large. Thanks for being the voice of reason when I’m frustrated or annoyed with others or just life in general. Thanks for fixing things for me, the things that I would either have to pay big bucks for someone else to do (like fixing my head light) or even the things that I could easily do myself (like reset my “change oil” light). You are one of the smartest people I know and I’m grateful to have you in my life. You’re loving, funny, generous, and helpful! I loovvee yyoouuuu!!!!
Happy Valentines Day
Dear Parents,
Thanks for raising me in a loving household. Thanks for providing me with all that I need to succeed, for instilling in my morals, kindness, love, and determination. Thanks for letting me live with you during this time of instability. I love y’all.
Happy Valentines Day
Dear Sisters,
I feel like I rarely see y’all these days! I miss y’all a lot. I hope college is turning out to be everything you hoped. I pray you’re making good choices and loving those around you. We should plan a trip together sometime. I’m proud of y’all and I’m blessed to have y’all as sisters. I love our time during the holidays the most – it’s genuine, it’s fun, and it’s care-free. I love you girls!
Happy Valentines Day
Dear sweet friends,
I wish I had the time or space to address each of you individually. The truth is, God has blessed me with amazing women (and men) in my life. To the friend who is completely honest with me no matter what. Who confronts me when I stray and uplifts me when I’m on track. Thank you. Seriously…. I can’t imagine life without you! I love you. To the friends who attack me with hugs when they see me, yet in that same movement, attack me with hateful words. I know you say hateful things because you love me too. Our relationship would be non-existent if we didn’t make fun of each other and give each other a hard time. I love y’all. To that life-long friend… the one that has seen the good, bad, ugly, and lame. I’m thankful that we have been in each other’s life for so long and I expect decades more! I love you and I’m continuing to pray for your loss and pain. To the ones who lived out that Disney magic alongside me, I owe you more than I could ever express. Thanks for the laughs and the rides and the fun! Thanks for accepting me and loving me so quickly. Thanks for letting me cry when I needed to. Thanks for the unbelievable amount of reeses. Thanks for existing in my life and leaving an impression. I love y’all. To the cousin who has been like a best friend and sister for years now. I miss you more than I could ever imagine. I’m sure that’s evident by the amount of trips I’ve taken to come visit you and your perfect family. Thank you for always providing honest feedback, giving advice when I needed it most, and sharing your life and friends with me. Thanks for making me a part of your special day and a part of your baby’s life. I love you to the moon and back.
Happy Valentines Day
Dear blog friends,
Again, this is another area that I wish I had the time and space to devote to each individual blogger that has shaped my life these past few years. Thank you for giving me a reason to blog. Thank you for sending care packages and supporting me through your comments. Thank you for providing me a space that is encouraging and uplifting. Honestly, I wonder how people without blogs live… I can’t imagine a life without a blog. I appreciate every comment, every mention, every gift, and every criticism or encouragement. I may not know you in person, but there is a love there. Y’all have touched my heart.
Happy Valentines Day
To everyone else that has made an impression on my life, I thank you. We may not be in each others life during this time, but there was a time when we were. I’ve been tremendously blessed by all those who have entered into the different phases and seasons of my life. There are days w
hen I whine and complain about this or that, but the truth is… God has taken outstanding care of me and has placed the most outstanding people throughout my life. I’m so grateful for you all. The good and the bad.
Happy Valentines Day
