Just the way you are...

Dear Janna,

When I was younger I came home from school and my mom was in the kitchen getting her nails done. I was young and I was in tears by the time she was finished. I’m not sure why I was so upset, except for the fact that by her putting on nails she was changing the perfect mother that I knew I already had. There was no harm in putting on the nails but the small change in someone I loved so dearly was just so weird to me at the time.

That’s a random and weird story! sorry, but I have been thinking about it lately in light of November 8^th when you get your braces off. I have only known you with your braces on and the child inside me wonders if the same Janna I know and love now is behind those braces. I just hope that the braces are the only thing that changes because I love you just the way you are!

With Love,

Alex

heavenly neighbors....

Dear Kim, 

Tonight we met with the sister missionaries and I could tell you did not love it. Thank you for being respectful and for sitting there, it means a lot to me. They talked to you about the purpose of life and kept asking you what was really important. You said your family. If I were to answer I would probably say the very same thing. I think about what the after life will be like often. I picture beautiful clean European streets with colorful apartment buildings on each side. Everyone lives next to his or her families and best friends and fun takes place on every square inch.  People dress in only the stuff found on 5^th avenue and never frown. I picture myself as being productive but never busy, having list of things to do with out ever feeling rushed or in a hurry. I would always have time to stop and talk to a friend without fear of being late. And things move slower than they to in our life now. Slow enough so that we can really take it all in.  After a days work everyone gets together with their neighbors and sit in their lawns in lawn chairs and chat as the sunsets behind a beautiful mountain ridge. We eat whatever we want for dinner and joke and talk till the sun comes up again. We feel perfectly at ease because we are with the people that matter most forever

Dear Kim,

Tonight the sister missionaries came over and I am glad they did. I don’t want to be pushy at all but I do want you to know how much I love this church! and to let you know that I want you to be one of my neighbors in heaven.  I know that what the sister missionaries teach will help you get there. Please open yourself and listen to them. I Love you man and want you to find true happiness.

Your friend,

Alex

 

Success!

Dear Failure,

I have been well acquainted with you thus far in my life and I don’t care to associate with you anymore.  

Peace out,

Alex

What do I do now?

Brother Cameron, 

I remember when I was a freshman here I didn’t know what major to pick. I was in your English 251 class and I emailed you asking you if I could pick your brain about your decision to be an English major. Your answer inspired me and here I am.  I remembered that today when I was sitting in your 316 class 2 years latter. I have loved the English major and have never regretted my decision, but now I am wondering what to do with the rest of my life as I am anticipating graduation. Could you please inspire me again?

Just Let Me Know,

-Alex

we are breaking up...

Dear Diet Pepsi,

I remember the time I first realized I needed you. It was, at first, an emotional attachment. When we first moved to Idaho Falls there were some dark moments where I didn’t think I could ever make a friend and I found you at the nearest gas station. When things got stressful I came and found you and I relied on you for comfort. During the stress of school, on a cold day, with a break-up, during friend drama, and through other tough times you were my best buddy. I needed you then but I don’t need you any more.

After a week break, I have realized that our relationship isn’t healthy and actually quite toxic. I need space to find my way in life with out you. So I’m leaving you. Sorry we had a good run and I wish you the best.

Its not you; its me….

-Alex

Hunger

Dear Bryan Borders, 

Thank you so much for the slice of pizza you gave me today as we passed in the hall. Without that, I wouldn't have eaten anything all day!

Thanks!

Scare Tactics

Dear Janna and Flo, 

You girls think you are so sneaky- coming to our house with skurry masks and water balloons. was it scary? yes! nice work. 

I don't know why you do this to yourselves. We are just going to get you back worse and you hate being scared. This has marked a revolutionary point in The Scare Tactics Halloween Countdown Week! mmwwaaahhhhhhahhhhaaaaaahahahahahahhhahah!

Watch your backs, 

Alex

Ill feelings?

Dear Ryan Mack and Clayton Johnson,

Remember that one time you made me suck the Gas out of that tube to get the Gas siphoned out of our car? I had to restart the siphon thing like 9 times and my mouth tasted like gas for a whole week after. Why did you guys never take a turn? why didn't you make Streng do it? I may still harbor ill feelings about that.
