Friday's Letters

Dear Jesus:  Thank you for the beautiful sunshine. Thank you also for the slightly cooler weather.

Dear Michael:  I miss those early days of simple life in Blossburg. This has been a tough week for me.

Dear Cam:  Thank you for spraying the front of the house today. I loved your Blog post this week. Well done.

Dear Jar:  Thank you for pulling all of the weeds in the yard today. I loved seeing you build with LEGO's this week.

Dear Me:  I need to get more motivation!! I know the hot weather has been somewhat to blame, but there are other things that are getting in the way too.

Dear Lily:  You are at your cutest right now...I need to cut your hair, but I don't really want to cause you look so cute.

Dear Zena:  When the boys were out front washing the truck yesterday, you whined because you wanted to be out there with them.

Dear Laundry:  Two more loads to go, and I am done with my 5 loads of laundry today.

Dear Friday Night:  I don't know what the plan for tonight is. We have a lot of Disney shows we could watch.

Dear Saturday:  I don't know what the plan for tomorrow is either. It all comes down to whether Michael has to work or not.

Dear Olives:  I love you so much. I love to use tapenade in my chicken.

Dear Grilled Pizza:  I really hope you turn out tonight. It is the first time I have tried this on a grill.

Dear Mom:  What a week, huh! I hope next week is much better.

Dear Exercise: The boys and I are going to start walking every day together. I hope that we can keep it up.

Dear Yard:  You look terrible. I have not watered the yard all summer...it is a waste of time. It gets too hot and dry and ends up dying slowly anyway. The boys are happy...they have not had to mow the grass as much.

Dear Weather:  It has been hot all week until yesterday. I hope it does not get that hot any more this summer.

Dear Strawberry Lemonade:  I hope that you turn out. I am making you for Cam. He has been wanting me to make it for a while now.

Dear Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream:  I found this recipe online...I hope that it is really yummy!

Dear Life:  Why does it cost so much to live? God has always taken care of us...we have never wanted for anything...and most of the time we have more than enough. But...it is frustrating how expensive everything is.

Dear Grocery Shopping Bill:  It is costing me so much to buy groceries. There is no cheap grocery bill anymore. It is so annoying. I feel like that is where the majority of our money is going right now.

Dear "Perfect" House:  I love our house...and it really works great for us in many ways, but there are things about it that do drive me crazy. I do wish Michael and I had a bigger bathroom and a walk in closet. I wish Jar had a large area that he could build his LEGO's more comfortably...and leave them out when he is building. I wish we had a piano/music room, since the boys do so much of this. I do wish we had a spot for both our moms to be, and I wish we had more property. I also wish I had a larger kitchen with an island and a walk in pantry. I would also love to have a covered back patio...maybe even an in-ground pool. (because I love to swim so much) I found the perfect house for us this past week. Sometimes I do wish we could just up and do something (maybe not as expensive as that one was, but something a little bit bigger). However, I do want to make it clear that I am very thankful for what God has given us...and I am in no way complaining. God has been good...God IS good!
