Dear....

Dear Old Navy,
     Thank you for making clothes that I throw away.  It's good that I can't wear anything too long before it gets a hole in it and I have to retire it.  I would not want my colleagues to think that I liked my clothes enough to wear them for more than one season. 

XOXO,
Holly

Dear Newscasters,
  Thank you for reporting the good, the bad, the ugly in our world.  However, I would appreciate a change in the way you report murders.  It irks me to no end when you say, "he was shot to death."  I would much rather hear you say, "fatally shot."  I think the former sounds as though a third grader wrote your story.

XOXO,
Holly

Dear Amazing Race,
     I love you and am so thankful for you every Sunday night.  My list of places I'd like to travel has grown!  I still like you even if you make me wait until after football overstays its welcome.

XOXO,
Holly

Dear House Gods,
     Please give us some guidance.  Should we move?  Should we renovate?  We just can't decide.

XOXO,
Holly & Matt

Dear Blog Readers,
     Boo!  Do you read me often?  Or is this just therapy for one?  Leave me a comment so I know you are there :)

XOXO,
Holly

It's not a box!

On Friday night, the kids played really well.  They played with the Light Sabers, pillows, and a box.  G took it upon himself to put the box on his head and try to move around the house.  He was so proud of himself when he could move down the hallway.  He even got daring and started going backwards :)

 

Aren't boxes great?

My dancing fool

Matt's cousin got married this past weekend.  M and I were the lone attendees as Matt was sick and G went to my parents' house.

The wedding was beautiful.  I was really excited for the reception because it was at the same place Matt and I used when we got married.  Truthfully my recollection of major events of that evening are slim.  The photos we have help jar my memory, but the day flew by so fast for me.  One song that brought back a great memory was Adam Sandler's Grow Old With You that the bride and groom used when they cut the cake.  Matt and I danced to this very same song before our first "official" dance.  Surprisingly, the groom's brother remembered that we danced to this too.  He's got a good memory if he can recall that from ten years ago when he was probably 11 years old.  I will say it was a fantastic venue, and I'm glad we used it, too!

Shortly after dinner, I realized that weddings are no fun when you are without a partner.  It was great talking with Matt's family during dinner and intermittently once dancing started.  However, his family was well represented, rightfully so as it was one of his family member's wedding, and they wanted to catch up with each other.  I spent a lot of the evening watching M on the dance floor.  All I can say is that girl has some moves.  She danced with cousins and tried to follow along with the group during the Electric Slide.  She finally ended up on stage dancing with her shadow.
