friday letters.

Dear Baby Girl >> You were falling back asleep this morning and you gave me that little baby smile that your little baby self used to give me just after you were born. Takes me back to those early days with you and how hard it was adjusting to life with a baby. Now, our days are seamless and I can't imagine ever being without you. How is it that you're going to be a year old in less than six weeks?

Dear fall-like morning >> Please stay around. You make be want to sit outside with a cup of coffee and a sweatshirt.

Dear yard sale in our neighborhood >> We're going away this weekend, so thank you for being on a Friday (for once) so I can attend to your hidden treasures.

Dear iPad >> My one wish for my birthday is that you'd miraculously appear in a box underneath some wrapping paper. Sadly, my chances of this are probably less than me buying a winning lottery ticket.

Dear new computer and new camera >> See letter above.

Dear readers >> No, I'm really not greedy. I just would like a computer and/or camera that isn't from 2007. I'm sure we can agree that a lot has changed in the technology aspect since then. Example: my computer still runs Microsoft Office 2003.

Dear Republican National Convention >> I usually don't get political here (actually I never do), but this week the RNC 2012 literally blew my mind. Pretty sure it blew lots of other people's minds too. And blew the competition out of the water. Especially Ann Romney, Condi, and New Mexico governor Susana Martinez -- how awesome are they? Was kinda nervous how this election year would go, but I'm pretty excited and proud of my party right now.

Dear readers x2 >> OMG can I tell you how much I love you guys? In the last two weeks you've helped me grow my blog tremendously. And in the past month I've gone from 10 followers to almost 60. How crazy-awesome-fabulous is that? All because of you. Wanna help me get to 100 in the next month? How about my first paid sponsor? I couldn't do any of this without your support, so again, you rock my socks.

Dear Hubs >> How sweet was the message in your anniversary card to me? And your little gift of chocolate-covered strawberries plus a Yankee Candle? (In Beachwood -- can't get much better than that.) You snagged those suckers for free. I'm a lucky wife.

Dear Pennsylvania >> SO looking forward to spending a long, relaxing holiday weekend with you and my family. Shopping and picnics? I'll take it. S cannot wait to see Grammy and Paw-Paw!

Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend lovelies!
