Day 216: Words and Work

Bananagrams

Today was my first day back to work after a 10-day break.  It wasn't as brutal as I was anticipating, which is really nice!  It makes going back to work a happy thing instead of a dreaded chore.

Also, I'm glad to get back into routine.  I'm not very good at maintaining routine, but I always feel better when I try.

Now, if only I had something interesting to report on for a change...I'll work on that and get back to you. :)

Day 44: BFF

The door reads: "Not an Entrance"

Dear Christine,

You're the coolest sister in the whole wide world.  You let me tag along with you and your friends when I was way too young and immature, and you haven't been able to get rid of me since.  You introduced me to all the best bands, all the best foods, and all my best friends.  You are always you, and you never change who you are to please others, and I have always envied you for that.  I look up to you in so many ways.  You make me want to be a better person, every day.

Because of your example and faith in me, I am a stronger, happier, more confident person.  Because of your love of friends and family, you have changed hearts and uplifted all of us.  You love to laugh and you love life, which is so contagious!  And until one of us finds a boyfriend and runs away, I'm stickin' to you like glue!

Love,
Bal

Day 2: My Daddy

Dear Dad,

You are my hero.  Whenever I think of examples of amazing men, you are always the first person who comes to mind.  You gave me my corny sense of humor (you like all kinds of corn), my love of service, and (unfortunately) my A.D.D..  You taught me how to dance, how to roller skate, and how to pick good friends and companions.  You took me on midnight ice cream runs, on daddy-daughter dates, and on my very first roller coaster.  You love to laugh, you love your wife (and family), and you love the Lord.  You are the ultimate example of what a worthy priesthood holder should be, and you are the standard that I hold every guy I date up to.

Because of you, I will always believe that I am a princess and that I can have anything I want in this world if it is a worthy desire.  I love you and I will always be your little girl.

Love, Val

PS:  Rotten food is never healthy.  I think it's time you stopped making us save it for your lunches. ;)
