Sewing Teacher - you taught me a lot today. Not about sewing though. I loved being the only person there so you can talk to me and teach me. You are like 90 years old, go to the gym three times a week, and have everything memorized from The Constitution to the Presidents of the Church. You helped me connect history with the Church. You made history come alive for me. I loved exchanging thoughts on books and history. I have never liked history before, so thank you for helping me understand its importance.
E-mails from Missionaries - I get SO excited when Sister Grant sends us an email. I can't wait to get home every Thursday just to read your letters. Thanks for being excited about my Seminary and feta cheese. Thanks for your inspiration and saying good things. I miss you. I can't wait to get up at 4:30 in the morning to wait for your call this week :)
Boys - Remember how Ethan was kinda a jerk to me last week? Luckily that is over and things are back to normal. For now. Adam, remember how much we laugh when we talk? Its awesome. I miss having lunch together. But playing basketball with you was awesome last night! Sorry I totally cheated all the time, and I even think I won. Caden, thanks for smiling at me in the hall on Thursday. It was a bad day. You were really sweet.
Rain - I got really wet playing basketball with Adam last night. It felt so good. I am sad I missed everyone getting soaked, but still glad I got pretty wet. It felt like I was letting go, it felt so grood. I love when it rains on the weekend.
She & Him concert - I LOVE YOU! My first concert, you were wonderful. Thanks for letting me see and talk to Colton and Miriam and Beau ("pronounced BO"). I had a blast. Quinn made sure I knew the cigarettes were really suckers, beer was really not beer, and marijuana was perfume. By the way, I am EXPERT at picking out the smell of mary jane. But really, I loved all your music, and I will give you your own post with pictures soon.
Bikes - Thanks for letting me ride you to school. Even though you're hand-me-down and dirty, I still think your so cool. Even if you look funny next to the Beach Cruiser. Sorry I struggled on you, my thighs killed after the concert. I really like you.
My amazing friends - You all deserve to be named. Shayla, Leina, Sydney, Lexi, Kadie, Lindsey, and Sami. I am sorry. For everything. For my neglect. Please don't rub it in my face (lexi.... =]). But you guys made my week a million times better. Thanks for the notes, concern, amazing hugs, laughter, calls, and texts. You were totally there for me, and I want to be there for you. I LOVE YOU!
Family - You are all here this weekend. That is why I am SO happy. I love waking up to all the kidlings and everyone eating breakfast and playing in the rocket in our pajamas. (oh, the rocket will get its own post too. don't fret). I love when you all come home, and I am a little bummed I missed the baby shower last night! But I love coming home and talking and looking at Dave's backpacking pictures. Fun stuff. Love you fellas.
MockingJay - I haven't read you yet. But Karen is reading it right now, and I am totally jealous. Its hard to be in the same house as you book and not read you. :)) I am kinda nervous to read you, though.
Erin - Who knows if she will read this, but you all know how amazing this girl is. She is an amazing example to me, and I love her with all my heart. I hate it when she is sad, it makes me feel sad. She is the most beautiful, loving, and coolest person I know. She is why I even have a bit of style and music taste. I owe her everything. I love you much, cuz. Hope you're feeling better. (I live in the same HOUSE as you, I will just ask you if you are feeling better! =])
Cheese - Thanks for being my favorite inside joke. You know how much I love you. Ethan and Caden make fun of me because I think about you a lot. My history class knows how much I love feta cheese. And everyone knows my obsession with grilled cheese. Thanks for being cool.
whoo. That was a long set of letters. Thanks for listening. Or reading, I mean.
Love and Rockets,
Maddy
Aw, boo. I love you.
