Last night before going to bed I wanted to read...but with my nook out of action I didn't have much...then it popped into my head- the letters!!
My wonderful, thoughtful, brilliant family hid these in my suitcase before I left so that when I got to Germany and unpacked my bag I found a letter from each of them- including Alexis and Charlotte...Also, I had some cards from Grace- one from before going on the Crossover trip, and one from when we said goodbye in CA...
I grabbed them off my shelf and laid down in my bed to re-visit these pieces of encouragement, love, and humor...
I love every word...and I love the picture Alexis drew of herfself as a cowgirl because she is 'Alexis Texas', and the picture Char drew- stick figures of us hugging--with her standing on a chair so she could reach me :)
What a huge blessing! Thank you guys so much!
Dad, thank you for your words, especially about filling up our tanks :)
Mom, thank you for missing me terribly and for your joy over this opportunity for me...
Megan, thank you for counting me one of your best friends, I reciprocate that completely...so good to have someone who echos my thoughs and also laughs at pretty much anything :)
Brian, wow, your words were precious. Thank you for being my big brother and for the confidence you give me!
Alexis, I miss playing games with you too! Thank you so much for the love you sent me and the wonderful picture!
Charlotte, Thank you for hoping that I have fun, I am having fun! Thank you for the picture, I wish I could give you and your family all hugs right now!
Luke, you didnt write anything but I am sure that if you had it would have said that I am your favorite aunt of all time and even though you pretend to like Grandpa the best, you really like me the best...Thank you for finally sharing that :) Ha ha!
Amanda, thank you so much for your facebook messages, I love them. You have been so real with me and a huge supporter!
Grace, thank you so much for the words of confidence...they mean a lot to me...thank you for your encouragement and belief!!!
I love you all! Thank you so much for loving me!
