Friday's Letters

Dear School, After two days of orientations... I am really ready to get this show on the road! I have all of my school supplies (organized & color coded), my books ordered, & we semi have a morning routine! Also, I am so anxious to get my field placement interviews underway and make it official! I cannot wait to be working in an adoption agency and learning about all of the different aspects of the process!  

Dear Jack, You were such a trooper going to the babysitter this week! You seemed to really enjoy it and I was glad that I didn't need to worry about you while I was away. You are such a big one year old boy, and I cannot believe how much you have grown and changed just in the last 2 weeks! I am so excited to celebrate your birthday all over again this weekend at the lake. Also, you are a giant! 99th percentile for height?! You will be towering over your mama before I know it! Your dad and I are so happy to be home with you. We missed you oh-so-much! 

Dear John, We didn't really get to ease back into "real life" did we?! I am so grateful for our long trip. I am so refreshed and ready for this "new lifestyle" we are transitioning into. Your support during these next couple of years while I am in school is priceless to me. I appreciate you wanting my dreams/goals for me as much as I want them for myself! 

Dear Readers, I apologize for the offensive amount of vacation pictures. I know that it's not really that much fun to look at other people's vacations, but I just had to document our amazing trip! I hope you can all bear with me as this blog also makes a transition. My day-to-day will no longer be all things Jack... I hope you will journey with me while I figure out how to be a student, employee, wife, and mom all at once! AH! 

Dear Summer, You are quickly slipping away. I am not too sad. It's been hot! But I will definitely cherish these last two weekends at the lake. I will miss it come February! 

Dear Erin, YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!
