You're the Obi-Wan for Me

In response to my challenge from last week: (click here if you don't know what I'm talking about)

Here are some things which I wrote to my lover:

Dear Prince Charming,

       . . .      

            I received an anonymous valentine’s gift today.  Someone wrapped a piece of pink paper around a bag of dark chocolate hearts and addressed it to me saying “Hope your V-day is as sweet as you are!”  It was really nice!  . . . and it made me feel really special.  Maybe it was you that left it.  Or a wonderful, caring friend who wanted to give me a little pick me up :]  Either way, it was just what a single girl needed.

. . . 

            I hope your valentine’s day was wonderful.  I also hope you had someone to love you, or someone to make you feel special, because you definitely deserve it, probably more than anyone else I know. 

. . . 

Neither of us are perfect now, nor will we ever be in this life time.  But we’ll love each other for who we are and who we will one day be. 

. . .            

 There will not be many tomorrow’s until we find each other. I’m waiting anxiously for that day!

           

            Until then, stay true to you and the values we share.  I’ll be waiting for you.

Forever Yours,

Me

Valentine's Day Challenge

Normally, I hate Valentine's Day.

For a gal like me with no significant other (ever), 

it's just always sucked.

Seeing couples on normal days sucks enough 

(kissing and cuddling and kissing and hugging and kissing ...)

but Valentine's Day is ... worse.

So, I was prepared to face Valentine's Day as I always have:

no regard whatsoever.

The End.

BUT

As I was perusing the most popular social network in the world, 

I found a challenge from one of my friends.

And I have accepted said challenge.

It reads:

Well, we're a week from Valentines day, 

and soon Facebook will be flooded with "Single Awareness Day" stuff... 

Usually, in the past, I've joined this massive self-pity fest, 

but this year I thought I'd try something different. 

This week, I'd like to challenge everyone, 

(Myself included) 

to contemplate and write a thoughtful letter to your future sweetheart. 

Someday, when the time is right, 

you'll find each other, 

and you'll know how worth it it will be.

And now I extend it to all my single friends.

This is your mission, should you chose to accept it.

I hope you do.

As for all you ... couples ... tell your spouse you love them.

Again.

And again.

And then do something for someone else

together.

Happy Single's Awareness Day!!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

The best things in life ... aren't things. <3 

They're friends:

And family: 

And I wouldn't trade them for the world. <3

I just discovered this blog yesterday when the owner happened to stumble upon my own blog (thanks to the BYU blogger meet-up!)

It's way awesome.  

And one of my new favorite things.

You should check it out.
