Little Letters

Dear cold weather,

I love you, and I am so glad you're here now since it is mid-November after all.

Dear trees,

I love the way you change colors in the fall. It seriously makes me happy and I would love nothing more than to sit in the middle of a bunch of changing trees and read a good book.

Dear Thanksgiving,

Please get here sooner. I don't know how much longer I can make it here at work and need the break.

Dear Garrett,

I am so glad we are going skiing for our honeymoon and that the honeymoon is only 4 weeks away. That means only 13 more actual school days until we go skiing.

Dear music,

You are my refuge. I hate that I let other people ruin you for me, and I promise to stop that.

Short and Sweet

Work has been rough lately. By rough I mean crying in the car on the way home. It certainly doesn't help that I had 6 wonderful, magnificent, relaxing days off to prepare for my wedding, get married, then spend 2 days in newlywed bliss watching movies, cleaning house, and writing thank you notes. Let me tell you, I went back to work kicking and screaming.

I called Garrett yesterday after work and we decided that it wouldn't solve anything sitting and complaining. I decided to grab the bull by the horns today and had a talk with my coworker, which ended up leaving me more upset because, let's face it, we are never going to see eye to eye and run the program the same way.

So, now that I am sitting here in the band hall in complete and relaxing silence, on my conference period with no one in sight for at least another hour, I have a brilliant idea.

Start a blog.

I mean, why not? I love reading blogs. I love reading bright, positive, optimistic beautiful blogs where people celebrate the little things. It certainly helps those not so great days and leaves me thinking of beautiful things. I want to be those blog writers who are cooler than I will ever be and have a love for life and little things.

So I thought, why can't I be one of those people? I don't want the stress and unhappiness that I've felt at work. I want to be happy. Celebrate the little things. Love life. Go on little adventures. Look and post beautiful images that make everyone feel better. Have a place I can share my happy findings with friends and family.

This is my blog, my happy place. Welcome, and enjoy!
