30 Letters Day 4 You Sibling

Well today is my sibling day...I have a lot of siblings if you could my brother and then half's and steps siblings as well. If you break it down it goes something like this:

Ben (Brother)

Julianne (Step Sister)

Heather (Step Sister)

Nathan (Step Brother)

Ashley (Step Sister)

Noah (Half Brother)

Brian (Half Brother)

Krystal (Half Sister)

Traci (Half Sister)

As much as I would love to write a letter to every single one, I am going to just write to Ben, he was the sibling that I grew up with and fought when we were kids...etc etc...so here ya go!

Dear Ben,

Growing up, I hated you...I am pretty sure it's a written law that you are supposed to hate or truly dislike your siblings growing up, some people get along with their siblings and we didn't want to kill each other 24/7 we did fight a decent amount. As we got older I started to think maybe you weren't so bad to have around and now I'm really going to miss you when you move to Texas! I sure know Avery is going to! I am glad that I was adopted into our family and that we were able to be brother and sister. We do have some wonderful memories growing up and I am so glad my boys will have such an awesome Uncle like yourself. I was so proud watching you wrestle in high school and now your in the Army and thriving so well in that. I am proud you got your college degree and now moving up in the world! Congrats everything I am so proud of you!

Love your sister

30 Letter Day 3 Your Parents

I am late on this one, I forgot to do it yesterday at work and then I came home and cleaned house like a mad woman! So I am going to catch up with yesterday's and todays.

Dear Mom,

Thanks for being the best Mom I could ask for! You have taught me so much, you have taught me how to cook, clean, shop for the best prices & most of all taught me vaulable skills with my relationships with my sons and husband! I don't say it enough but I love you Mom! I recently realized I am turning out like you and I am totally ok with that! Thanks for always being there for me. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful parents and thank you for adopting me! I sure did luck out!

love,

Mary

Dear Dad,

I am so happy I have parents that taught me good working skills like you did. As a child I hated having to work all the time but as an adult it been a skill that has paid off and I look back and have to say thank you! Thank you for teaching me to do a job and do a job well and never half done. Thank you for coming over today espically and of course the other times in the past and helping us work on the house or in the yard, I can't thank you enough for that! Both you and Mom have done this and it's so nice to know my family loves me enough to come help me on their free time! Thank you for showing me through little things like fixing my garage door for my birthday (yup that's a true sign that your getting old when you get excited for a fixed garage door for your birthday) and taking your grandson's to church with you. Thanks for being there and being a great dad! Love you!

Love,

Mary

30 Letters Day 2 Crush

This is day 2 of the 30 letters, I think this is going to be really fun! Although I'm a little unsure on this one, mainly because I don't have a "crush" on anyone, I have a wonderful husband so I guess I will write a letter to him because I did have a "crush" on him first before our relationship fully started.

Dear Crush....Richard

I remember the first time meeting you in person and how nervous I was, and thinking sweet! This guy is super cute! I love chatting with you at Starbucks and getting giddy every time you text messaged me after that. In some way's I miss those days but I am excited for our future. I know I drive you crazy sometimes and for that I am VERY SORRY! But remember I will try my hardest to show you how much I love you and how much I appreciate what you do for me and our family. I love the fun we have together, I still get weak in the knees when we kiss...Love you with all my heart.

Your Loving Wife

Mary
