(Doesn't feel like) Friday Letters

Dear July, one week down already? I feel like you're going to fly by and the next time I blink you'll be over and it will be August. Dear Pincrest, I'm so excited to be taking a break from the craziness at home and camping near you shores for a few days before the wedding.  Dear sister and Silver, I hope you have an amazing time in AZ together. I'm jealous y'all get to hang out.  Dear 4th of July, you were a lot of fun and very relaxing.  Dear neighbor, thank you so much for letting us come pick your fruit from your trees! At this point our wedding favors have cost us absolutely nothing!  Dear Amanda Cox (soon-to-be-Jacobson), I hope that your wedding tomorrow fulfills all your expectations and that it's THE perfect day. I love you and I'm so happy for you and Jon!  Dear Husband-in-43-days, I'm so proud of you and I think you are amazing.

Link up with Ashley and share your Friday letters!

and now for a couple Instagram shots from the 4th!

"Red, white and blue" pancakes!

 Red, white and blue punch my sister made.

We went a little overboard on the fireworks this year.

 

 Small, but pretty and fun!

Friday/Saturday letters

Dear Becca, thanks for asking me to come along on your mini roadtrip this week. I had fun being in the car and getting to have some hot weather for a few hours.  Dear sisters and Corinne, I love staying up till 3 in three morning talking and laughing with the three of you. I'm going to miss our sleepovers.  Dear Ryan Gosling, sometimes I wonder what went through your head when you accepted movie roles.  "Drive" was a little bit ridiculous and I didn't get it at all.  Dear Phillip Phillips, I predicted your win from your audition and I can't stop listening to "Home."  It's such a good song.  Dear Arizona Green Tea with Peach Juice, you are the perfect summer drink (next to regular sweet tea of course)! I love you!  Dear almost-husband, less than 50 days...we're almost there and I can't wait to skip down the aisle to you and become your wife.

I'm a little late to the party, but link up with Ashley and share your Friday/Saturday letters.

Dear groomsmen, I appreciate that you are going to be part of our day, but shopping for y'all without any of you present is a pain in the butt. Dear wedding, I'm ready for all the planning to be done.  Dear sisters/moms, thank you for planning my bridal shower. I'm sorry I keep forgetting about it, but that's what happens when you completely trust your people to plan a great party and don't think twice about it.  Dear Shock Top, thank you for being so cold and refreshing after a long day of shopping.  Dear dad, thank you for buying us things for the wedding. Your bar that you bought today is super legit and I'm excited about it.  Dear Summer, go by fast, but not too fast ok.

Friday letters

Dear high school students, you make me feel way older than I am. Thank you for providing me with lots of entertainment this weekend.  Dear weekend, you're not going to be as relaxing and chill like you normally are.  Thankfully Monday can act as my Saturday.  Dear fellow TEC-mates, I'm sorry if I get bossy and grumpy.  It's the lack of sleep, not you.  I promise.  Dear friends and family who are invited to our wedding, if you have viewed our website, you should have RSVP'd while you were there. We have over 200 views and less than 40 responses. Get on that for me ok?  Dear fellow bloggers, thanks for being an inspiration day after day. I love reading your posts and comments. Dear fiance, I'm ready for this week to be over. I miss you a lot and need to hear your voice. Phone date soon.

letters for this friday

Dear Friday housecleaning, we have a love/hate relationship.  I hate to spend a few hours of my day cleaning, but I do love it when my room is tidy and neat.  This will be a tradition of my momma's that will be used in our new house for sure.  Dear invitations, man, there are a lot of you.  We got 100 of you assembled last night and hopefully will get the rest done tonight.  Dear Monterey, thank you for being so nice today.  It was nice walking around.  Dear Chipotle, you were as yummy as ever.  Dear August 18th, you're just 3 short months away! I'm so excited!  Dear almost-husband, we're so close! I can't wait to kiss your face again.

And now for a picture of me just because.  It was a hat kind of day.

Dear almost-husband, we're out of the triple digits! 99 more days to go love! Dear Avengers, you were even great the second time. Thanks for the laughs on a Friday night.  Dear family, I like hanging out with you.  Dear 8th graders I interviewed, all of you impressed me today. I was glad I was asked to help out.  Dear nap, you were so glorious.  Dear after-nap-hair, for some reason I like you better than my morning hair.  Dear fiance (you get two cause you're special), thank you for our 15 minute phone call this afternoon.  I needed a good laugh and lighthearted conversation.  Dear momma, I'm excited to celebrate you this weekend. You're one amazing lady.

Letters on May the 4th

May the 4th be with you!

Dear Hunter Hayes, thank you for putting on such a great show last night.  You really blew me away with your talent and were great live, which is always a huge plus at a concert.  Dear leather jacket, where are you? I went to wear you last night and realized that you're gone and I can't find you anywhere. Come back soon.  Dear Avengers, I really hope you're going to be worth the price of a movie ticket or more.  I know the brothers are excited to see you and I'm going along for the sake of getting out of the house on a Friday night, so be entertaining please!  Dear parents, I'm jealous you get a free trip to Tahoe this weekend.  I hope you guys have fun! You deserve a weekend away now and then.  Dear wedding invitations, the UPS tracker says you were put on a truck in Salinas this morning. I can't wait for you to be delivered!  Dear Cinco de Mayo, I'm excited to celebrate you by having a margarita!

And just a few pictures from last night (with better quality ones to follow when I get them off the camera).

Dear Orchard Supply, thanks for having all the mason jars I need for the wedding, but we're taking them back because you overcharge by over 3 dollars! Everywhere else is cheaper.  Dear Molly, you are my favorite dog in the world and I wish that you were feeling better. I don't like it when you're sick.  Dear Becca, you make me laugh even when you're being a total pain in the ass.  Dear brother, I admire you for participating in the 30 hour famine. Have fun sleeping in card board boxes tonight.  Dear almost-husband, I'm sorry things have been rough these last couple of days.  Hopefully they'll smooth out soon. 113 days!

Link up with a song

Linking up with Goodnight Moon today!

I've been loving Luke Bryan's new song "Drunk on You" lately.

Then again, when do I not love anything by Luke Bryan?

Enjoy lovelies and if you want to share your song of the week, make sure to link up!

friday and saturday's letters.

Dear storm, thanks for the jolting wake up in the middle of the night. Once my heart stopped racing, I did enjoy the flashes of lighting and the rolling thunder. Dear run, I didn't want to die half way through you, so I think things are looking up for us!  Dear almost-husband, thanks for chatting with me today.  I miss you a lot.  Dear "The Help," you are such a good movie. I loved watching you again with all our friends.  Dear wine tasting, I'm excited for you today!

And just because...

Our friends got "flocked" last night while we were watching the movie. Their whole front lawn was covered in pink flamingos.  It's a pretty neat idea for a fundraiser and the name made for some good laughs for the rest of the night.

Have an amazing Saturday lovelies!

Letters in a list

1.  Dear mine and his ray-bans, you were bought in two different states, at different times...I love that we have the same tastes in eye-wear and we could have a good laugh when we realized it!

I can't wait to use you more and flood my blog with pictures.

3.  Dear North Carolina, you are even more appealing to me now then you were a couple weeks ago.

I can't wait to be your newest resident as soon as possible.
