Feelin' senti-mental

K so I've been going through some bins I have that are full of old school stuff. Like stuff from school that is old, not "old school". Anywho, it is giving me that sort of heart-achy feeling you get when you start remembering too many happy things that have gone by. I am happy that I went through those things and had those experiences, but I'm sad because I miss those people that I never get to see anymore. I have all these old notes from my friends. Notes of encouragement, get well notes, old pics, quirky gifts people have given me, etc. And I am really missing these people right now. Like a lot. Mary Swank, Dani Harris, Anastassia, it has been waaaaaaay too long since I have seen you and I'm not happy about it!! So I made a little resolution. Whenever I take trips, I mostly only want to go where I can see these people I care about. Sight-seeing and all that can wait, I want to see my people!!

K, that was the sentimental part. Now for the funny part.

My little sister wrote me this little letter while I was away for my first semester of school. This is what it said and her exact spelling and punctuation. She was 8.

Dear Savannah,
The best sister in the world!

A few days ago we'll as you know.
I got on the trampoline like I always do,
and the first jump I we'll I got a head ake,
and every single time I went up and down it got worse.
But I didn't want to get off.
Because every single time I get on the trampoline,
I haf to have a good reson to get off.
And that is what I call not a good reson.
So I stayed on with my stuipid friend named head ake.
Once I got on the trampoline and we'll I had to get off
because of stuipid homework.
But, I didn't want to get off so, I stayed on.
The next time I had to get off was worse because
that had a reson that was very bad.
But, now and then I am getting head akes.

Your sister,
Sidney

p.s. I think we are growing alike, don't you?
write back

Bahahaha, love my lil sis :) The "reson" she included that little postscript is because I get "head akes" when I jump on the tramp, so she and Gabe were always upset at me for not jumping with them.

Yep, Sidney, you and I ARE growing more alike :)
