letters to inanimate objects

dear local mexican food,

you were so cheap and so stinkin delicious. i miss you everyday. chipotle might be delicious, but it just doesn't compare to you.

i miss you, allie

my beloved cardinals,

this has just got to stop. seriously? get it together post-all star break or we will have more heated arguments in the coming months. seriously? i mean we're a game and a half back from the REDS? seriously? ugh, i'm so sad. and can we please get some run support for our starting pitchers? seriously!

this is getting ridiculous, allie

dear bed,

you rock. i have missed you oh so much lately. sleeping in you is pure magic. sorry i've been running away from you so much lately, i promise to really rekindle our relationship this fall. blame the youth group kids though, they keep stealing me away from you.

i will love you forever, allie

dear shelf organizer thingy i bought at target,

you were a beast to put together but you have brought serious organization to my room and i could not be more pleased. while your directions were confusing at several points and i was pretty sure i screwed up your assembly beyond repair, you came through for me in the end and allowed me to graciously fix my mistakes.

please last for a long time, allie

dear 4th of july,

you might be my favorite holiday EVER. so excited to celebrate you on sunday! thanks for fireworks, delicious bbqs, and allowing me to wear a tacky red-white-blue outfit with no shame.

i heart america, allie

ps it also means its almost brianna's first birthday! eeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dear saint louis,

um your weather lately has been AMAZING! holy cow, i thought i died and went to heaven this past week. thanks for the serious lack in humidity and for gorgeous blue skies.

feel free to stay exactly like this forever, allie
