Dear self

I've been writing a lot of notes to the baby and I still plan to but I decided to write a little note to myself as well. I know, so selfish!

Dear 13 year old self.

When the family moves to Arizona, don't be so afraid of talking. The people that you meet will end up being some of your best friends and they will like you. I promise! And hang out with that red head in your gym class more often. She's legit.

Dear 16 year old self,

It's ok to talk to boys. It'll be scary and you might get a little hurt but I promise you'll have fun and it will make you stronger! And mom and dad probably won't kill you if you date.

Dear 18 year old self,

RAT isn't a bad choice. You'll make some great friends. But maybe you should look into Ultrasound Technology school. I think it'll be beneficial in the long run. I know it'd help me out a lot now.

Dear 20 year old self,

Breathe.

Dear 22 year old self,

There will literally be a tiny human growing inside of you. But just try and be patient until then. When it happens, it'll go by fast! Oh, and don't stop going to the gym for as long as you did. You're getting a little lazy.

Dear 23 year old self,

Only two and a half months left. Don't stop going to the gym. It'll be annoying some days but I know you can do it! You'll probably hide from the camera for a few months but make sure you don't lose it before June. I think you're going to want it then!

Dear Future self,

Dang. You look good. Keep up the good work on losing that baby fat!

Dear Self in general,
Life is good. So don't let the hard times get you down. Remember that Heavenly Father loves you and is looking out for you. Just don't forget to ask for help when you need it!

Dear Kyle,
I am so thankful to have you in my life every single day! I can't believe that what started out as family-friends has turned into our own little family. My 8 year old self never thought I'd be so lucky as to marry such a hottie like you! I love you more and more each day!

Oh and dear 8 year old self,
That kid, Kyle Gonthier, you're going to marry him someday. Ya. So don't be too shy around him... he's going to find out all of your secrets anyway!
