Old Letters Are The Best!

This letter is from my friend Tricia from 1988. We were 8 years old. Apparently, I was still spelling her name wrong. For some reason, I always left the second I out! Oh, and hell yeah, I knew how THAT was!! :)

Tricia is my friend who is pregnant with twins. She was always the better letter writer between us. And we wrote a LOT of letters because after first grade, we never lived in the same city again.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...Sort of...

We have HEAT!

FINALLY, I had to turn the heat back on! Thank goodness! I thought it was going to be in the 70s right through Christmas! And that, my friends, is not Christmas! It's still not cold, but there's a chill in the air, and it's cloudy and rainy, so I am pretending it's about to snow. I look up at the clouds and say, "you clouds, you are snow clouds!" And they look back at me and say, "sure..."

I also got most of my Christmas shopping done last night! Thanks to Jenny! She asked if I wanted to go shopping with her and after several hours of deliberation, I decided yes. And, I even stuck to my budget! Perhaps even UNDER it! It's amazing how much easier it is to shop when you have someone saying, "oooh, yes, that's perfect." or "Um, no. That is so not her." Or "Oh, just get it! You know it's just right for him!"

So two hours later, I had bought presents for 8 friends, and my dad. Whew! That is some crazy shopping! And I even like the presents!

So to those of you who are still in the predicament I was in yesterday, Go Forth for Presents!

Double the Pleasure, Double the Fun!

Somehow, in the last week, I haven't mentioned the most amazing news I've heard in months!

My best friend from first grade...my first best friend ever...the person who knows me deep down, better than anyone else, even if we don't know the daily details of each others lives anymore...the person who I respect more than anyone I know with the exception of my parents, and my grandmother...the person who I have wished my whole life to be like...one of the people who would be at my "If I could have dinner with anyone in the world dead or alive" Dinner, the tiniest, sweetest friend I have, my dear friend, Tricia, is having a baby!

But wait! It get's better! Because this birth only, for the low, low price of $19.99, you can have TWINS!! Yes, that's right for just $19.99, you can have double the fun (and sleepless nights, and college tuition, and car seats, and strollers...)!!

She is having twins! Her tiny 5' 105lb (MAYBE) frame is having TWINS! Where the heck are they going to fit!! She is due July 14th, but we'll see if she makes it...Her birthday is July 3rd...what a great birthday present that would be!

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this! I cannot think of couple who deserve this happiness more. Her family has had a rough year, and I think this is God's way of saying it is all ok now.

And what a blessing to have twins the first go around! If they have anymore, it will be a piece of cake after this! :)

Looks like I'd better figure out how to pack my lighting kit to fly on a plane to Ohio, because somebody is going to need some baby pictures!
