dear husband, we did it! we put in our 2 weeks notices!! it was scary, but after lots of discussions and thinking it over, i am sure it was the right decision. and plus, you can’t live life thinking about what could have been, right? so here we go. we’re jumping into this whole “owning your own business” thing head-first. and i’m not too mad about not being a waitress any longer. ;) (on a side note, all of you lovely readers, please say a little prayer for us and this new chapter in our lives! meep!)
dear god, i was reading jesus calling yesterday, and one verse really stood out to me. show me the way i should go, for to you i lift up my soul -Psalm 143:8. i found it rather timely. you always put things in our lives for a reason, and i’m so thankful for everything in mine. (god is just so good, am i right?!)
dear e.l.f., yes, i am writing to a makeup company, but seriously. my crazy awesome e.l.f. order (that i wrote about in “i heart makeup. and e.l.f. and my husband.“) came finally, and oh. my. their tinted moisturizer? incredible. i love it. silly me, i’ve been wearing foundation pretty much every day of my life, and knew i needed something easier on the skin and much lighter for these hot summer days, and voila! my salvation arrived in a little bottle that literally cost me $1.50! i only regret not buying about 10 of these.
dear state fair, i think you gave me heat stroke. my fault for going on the hottest day of the month. but the petting zoo was awesome and girl time was fun so i guess i’m not too mad at you, in retrospect. you should really think about giving out free water though. i mean, it’s water.
dear olympics opening ceremony, you are tonight, whaaat!!!! best believe i’ve got you dvr’d!
dear jillian michaels, i’m on level 3 (the last one!) of the 30 day shred, and you literally killed me yesterday. i mean, like. i could. not. move. so, thanks for that.
