Friday Letters & Photo Dump

Dear Weekend, Welcome!  I’m excited that you’re here.  I’m excited to have hubs home all weekend with no golf outings.  We don’t have too many plans for you, just lots of fun family time and maybe a visit to the pool.  I know you won’t disappoint. Dear SIL, The weekend we’ve been looking forward to is finally here. We can’t wait to spend the weekend with you. AG has changed so much since you’ve seen her, I can’t wait for you to see it all. Dear AG, my child, you are a wild one.  You have no fear. Every time you fall and I think you hurt yourself, you keep doing what you were.  You are determined and shall I say….stubborn.  This week you have pulled up on everything and are starting to stand on your own. I’m not ready for what is going to come next.   Dear Sweet Friends, I want to thank everyone for their kind words about my sweet Jax.  This week has been easier even though I feel like I will always have the feeling something is missing.  I have received the sweetest cards this week, some from you all.  It means so much to me, you all brought a smile to my face.  Thank you.  Dear Mother’s Day, I’m so excited for you this year.  There isn’t really anything I want.  I have no idea what I want to do that day.  But I have a feeling that my first mother’s day will be incredibly special.  Dear Starbucks, I’m happy to report that I have only enjoyed you once this week.  Yes, once.  That may not seem like a big deal to many of you, but it’s a big step for me.  Dear new flowers, herbs & fruit, I promise to do my best to keep you alive.  I set a reminder on my phone to check you daily and make sure you have enough water.  Hubs said I don’t have a green thumb, can you help me prove him wrong?  Pretty please.  Dear Shopping, I think I’m going to have to take a hiatus from you.  I’ve been out of control and I’m not proud of myself.  I blame it on being pregnant all last spring/summer and not buying anything cute or colorful.  Then, add cute little baby clothes to the mix and I can’t resist. I have to remind myself I’m not working full time and stop spending like I am. Dear Couch to 5K, I’m happy to report that you and I have ended our relationship, on a high note I may add.  I didn’t stick with you over an 8 week span, but I finished you.  Last night I ran for 33 minutes and didn’t stop, all while pushing the wee one.  I’m proud of myself.  I feel great.  I have NO desire to run another half right now, but maybe sometime in the future.  I am looking forward to signing up for my first 5K on mother’s day weekend and wearing my new I Run for Boston tank. I’m sore today and loving it. Dear AG, thanks for staying asleep this morning so I could enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch, listing to the birds, writing my post.  I can’t think of a better way to start my day.  Happy Friday All.
