Spring Cleaning in the Fall

Since I decided not to post yesterday, I would like to go ahead and let everyone to know how thankful I am for everyone and everything in my life...I really could not have asked for better family and friends, whom I love, or a better lifestyle that I live. And in today's news:

We recently completed an addition to our house that includes a new bedroom for me and my sister. It's gorgeous, I really can not even express to you how in love I am with it. In tradition with the log home-esque style...it has hardwood floors that look like rich mahogany, light wood walls, and wood doors...including furniture made of...you guessed it...wood. Some people might say, "Now that's a lot of wood"...and to them I would say that's what she said. Irregardless (I know it's not a real word, but I like to use it anyway - get over it), back to my story.

I had been in my previous room for about 11 years, so with the transition of stuff to my new room, there was a bunch of crap that needed to be rummaged through since I don't use a lot of stuff from when I was 10. I found some real gems and wanted to share them with you:

• a letter I wrote to my cousins from when I was 10-years-old

before I write an actual excerpt...let me set it up...my cousins had just moved to Honduras with their family for missionary work, so they were learning Spanish...and this is what I wrote in response to learning this information:

"Mom said you would write to us in Spanish don't write real hard questions because I'm still learning. Don't write real easy ones either, until later on in the year write pretty good ones. Well, I'm gonna go now. Adios."........wow

• a sketchbook filled with various outfits I had designed when I wanted to go into fashion...let's just say, they were gOOORge (I'll probly only say this once...I like to shorten words...a lot). They could pretty much be on the catwalks of any top designer...Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, etc.
  
• Love you like a Sister: 30 cool rules for making & being a better best friend...an informative book that will probly be my next read

What do these 3 things mean?...I've decided my letter-writing skills were words of pure poetry and I'm going to start doing it more often - forget phone calls, texts, emails, and the sort...everyone I know will be receiving a hand-written letter from 10-year-old me. I also know what I was meant to do in life and am going back to my roots (see ya'll during Fashion week). And w/my new reading I will gain the resources to be a better friend, complete with friendship bracelets and knowing how to keep a secret.
