Dear back of mine,
I really didn't mean to hurt you... feel better, ok?
Sincerely,
the person you help walk around

Dear Ireland,
I cannot wait to see you and experience your beauty and adventures. I love being excited and having something to tell people I am doing besides job hunting.
Love,
The girl who searched for four-leaf clovers all summer

Dear mom,

Your dressed-cute-and-for-success daughter

Dear job option,
Please let me get you! I am experienced and educated and would love to perform those tasks. I don't mind moving back either...
Thank you,
The seeker of you

Gratefully,
a movie watcher

Dear Halloween,
I'm not doing much for you this year but I've enjoyed some of your movies and music. Including those below:

And this new favorite random fun song complete with free download from her website (her other song is good too).

Enjoy,
the isolated country girl
p.s. any other songs come to your mind?

Dear Sunday,
You were good to me. Thanks for a great morning, church block, dinner, and cookies! And family... and telephones so other family can be called!Oh and I love this song:

I like when life feels really good. :)
Dearly,
a happy gal

Letters: Numero 2

Dear Mosquitoes,
I did not give you permission to eat me for breakfast yesterday. I declare you are also not allowed to have me for dinner, lunch, dessert, or any snack in between. I don't really want to become a bitter old hag so that I no longer taste sweet - just resist temptation.
Sincerly,
The girl who might be more sensitive to your bites than others a.k.a. the one who looks very bruised.

Dear World,
The Beach Boys still have it. Yup the "oldies" ones. They performed in Logan tonight and I got to hear them live. They sound strangely the same and I loved it.
Enjoy,
The girl who likes "being cool"

Dear Cyri Dixon Best Friend,
You made my day with your blog post today. I needed it more than you will ever know at the moment I read it.
Always,
Your best friend who loves you most

Dear Boys,
You sometimes complicate my life. I love the Mary Poppin's song line, "Although we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid." Yup I agree. But sometimes as individuals you sure make my life hard too. BUT BUT as individuals you make my life fantastic and happy too.
*sigh*
I'll figure it out someday

Dear Life,
Why do you make things hard and why does my brain join you in the conquest? I am making the choice to live you with yes's and no regrets and I am doing what makes me happy no matter what. Oh and choosing to be happy no matter what too.
Challenge Accepted,
The girl who is figuring you and herself out slowly but surely
p.s. I am loving you.

Dear unpaid therapists Natalie, Mom, and Sam,
Thank you for your thoughts and helpful insights and love and light and examples and challenges and ideas and risk taking encouragements.
Love,
The girl who appreciates it over and over again

Dear kids,
Thanks for being who you are. Through and through. And remembering simplicity. I aspire to the simpleness of you.
Thanks,
A girl who is trying to simplify instead of over-complicate

Dear Motivation,

I lost you. Please find your way back soon so I can finish this school year strong - you know those four papers, that presentation, two group projects, three tests next week, and oh yeah . . .finals.

Sincerely,

The girl who looks like she needs you to get things done.

Dear Legs,

You walk fast all the time! Why has running made you hurt so badly?

Love,

The girl that can endure years of gallbladder pain
and yet complains too much about exercise soreness

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Projects, Papers, and Tests and Room-Packing,

Can you do everything yourself since Motivation is MIA and time seems to be winning a war against me . . . and I think self-discipline is on vacation too and distraction is far to prevalent in my life . . .?

Superb!

The girl who still needs a life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Life,

Can you help me in figuring you out after I get that nice little piece of paper saying I am done with school at this present time?

Thanks muchly,

The girl who is a little lost

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Everyone,

I absolutely love this video:

And this:

Also Happy Birthday to
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, yesterday.

Lovingly,

The girl who wouldn't get by without all that knowledge.

Dear Summer,

Hurry faster - but make sure you slow down when you get here
because I want to enjoy my week in the Western Carribean sunshine
and the months that follow of adventures.

Waiting patiently,

The girl who loves you but loves spring weather and will wait.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear People I Know,

I love you lots.
Thanks for your examples and support always.
You make me smile - all over my face - all the time! :)

Perfectly happy with this,

The girl who is super blessed.

A letter.

Dear School,

You are looking like you are going to be hard. With lots of work and lots of running across campus in the cold (an early spring would be lovely this year). But you know what? You and your 20 credits will be completed. Yup. I can do it because I believe I can . . .

Sincerly,

Myself

p.s. especially if I take it one day at a time as Elder Christofferson said last night and perhaps with a little of this attitude and a bunch of this.

I'm Ready.

Dear Cheeks,

I am sorry you decided to puff up quite big after surgery,

I tried to ice you quickly and continue to.

And only put comfortable food into my buccal cavity so as not to harm your delicate selves.

I didn't go to school or work today so you could just rest,

and it looks like tomorrow will also be out too.

But please get better because I need to go to work,

and I miss smiling, and laughing, and singing.

So I'd really appreciate quick healing.

Thanks.

Yours truly,

The girl you are a part of. 

p.s. I feel that since this picture was taken yesterday it's missing aspects of me from today - like the large red mark under my eye and what feel like even more huge cheeks . . . oh well - it's an adventure right?

Letter to me

Dear self,

Do you remember how you said at the beginning of the year how you wanted to keep up on homework? And do you also remember how you haven't many times this year only to be SUPER stressed and almost driven crazy? Why have you not learned your lesson?

Stress doesn't have to be.

So please, edit that paper the day you get it back (or at least sooner than the night before it's due again), write that paper for your class project, get your research done, study for that test a little today . . . PLEASE because even though you may not have learned to stay ahead as your goal stated you have learned that stress is no bueno.

Thanks much.

Me.

p.s. it's autumn and you can play tomorrow because you are done today.

Oh my dear sweet semester.

Autumn has arrived . . . weather-wise anyway and I am loving it. (although it could stay a little warmer)

Nutrition.

I LOVE it so much! 

My classes are amazing and I love just learning the material.

However English = writers block right now

which is why I am blogging.

Apparently I can tell you things I have already told you in one form or another but I cannot write about memories and their connection to the word "water."

I'll figure it out.

Have a great weekend!

Dear USU Leaf Cleaner-Uppers

Thank you!

Love Heidi.
While you may be wondering why I am ok with people cleaning the color of fall up at campus I am looking at the picture above. I mean to clean up leaves you simply MUST make a pile and they had machines to help them do the Quad, so the piles are HUGE.
Today I had an O-chem test before my hour on the Quad with my friend Cyri and so life was meh but not bad. Then I saw them cleaning leaves up and oh how the pile was tempting me and Cyri said it was doing the same to her. Then came two people - one I knew from summer but I didn't know his name - the people cleaning them up gave us the ok to jump in the leaves and that's just what we did. While dirty and not very good tasting it was AMAZING! Kind of like this:
I wish my camera was not in some foreign state getting examined or these photos would be of me. (If you get the chance to jump into something fun - DO IT!)
