Love Letters

I thought a sweet tradition to start would be to send out Valentine cards to close friends and family instead of Christmas cards...

I had so many grand even elaborate ideas.......unfortunately the execution wasn't quite there. I had a sweet little vision of the mister and his too cute for words baby cousin propped up on a chair with there arms around each other smiling (and some other unrealistic nonsense).........The photo shoot ended in tears....and they definitely weren't coming from the two cute little boys I was photographing! 

During my makeshift photo shoot I felt resentful of every blog that post cute little valentines and makes it look oh so easy....what is your secret??

Then when I looked at the outtake of my very "unprofessional"  photo shoot I couldn't help But smile! I am suddenly so grateful things didn't go any thing liked planned....because often times in life it goes so much better! 

Filling the envelopes with sequences also seemed like a super thoughtful idea.....almost like a little party in an envelope, that was until The Husband pointed out how our friends and family may or may not appreciate the mess that the little "party" is going to make.....I am going to go ahead a pre-apologize for the mess that comes along with our love letters....and that I sent them out after Valentines day ;)

And for you single ladies between the ages of 18-35 looking for a gentlemen friend I have just the man! He is 25 years old, 64' with broad shoulders and an even bigger heart. He is currently serving a two year service mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Macio, Brazil. In his last letter he wrote that he carried a little boy with a hurt leg a mile and half to church......Do they come any sweeter? I just thought I would share his address just in case the arranged marriage I have planned doesn't pan out (I mean she is in wyoming.... thats cute cowboy country...;) I feel a need to cover my basis (a sisterly duty if you will.)

I dare you ladies to write him...you never know what might happen from sending a stranger a simple note saying hello...If it does work out I promise to write a book about it....that is seriously best seller material!  ;)
