Dear Doreen,
We're you're Compassion sponsors. I appreciate the letters you send us every now and then. It's nice to hear from you. I really wish I could come meet you. I'd like to learn your personality, meet your family, see where you live. Momma has thought about going to Africa on a mission trip and leaving the group for a day or two to visit you, but that hasn't turned out yet. You seem very nice and humble. Every time you write you tell us how thankful you are for us and how blessed you are, but I want you to know that we're just as thankful for you. You, yourself are a blessing. We love you. I hope to meet you VERY soon.

Day 8: Write A Letter To Your Favorite Internet Friend
Dear Rachel,
You're my favorite internet friend because I feel like that's really the only place I hear from you these days, and also because you are the only person who can literally make me Laugh Out Loud every time I read your Facebook status. "If life gives you melons, you could be dyslexic." , "This is a perfect example of a status that isn't about the Rangers. It's about Pluto, may he revolve in peace. 1930 - 2006" Everything is FRAZILY sarcastic, you cheater. And also, your picture comments are always the best. They're creative. Why don't we ever see each other in person anymore? That's weird. It seemed like for a while there I saw you ALL the time.... But anyways. Yeah.... Aha(:

Day 7: Write A Letter To Your Ex
This is a little uncomfortable, so I'm gonna keep this short, and vague(:
Dear...People Of My Past,
As the popular quote says "Don't worry about the people in your past, there's a reason they're not in your future." You were put into my life to be a part of my past: An experience, a warning, preparation, a lesson. You were in my life to make me stronger and wiser. You were put there to force me to open up and feel thing I had never felt before, even if they weren't as "real" as I thought they were. You've given me a confidence I didn't have before. I've learned that you don't always know someone as well as you think you do. I've learned to think before speaking. I've learned to not be so sensitive and dramatic. I've learned to be wary of other's feelings. And I've learned to take life as it comes. Who you were then, made me who I am now and, for that, I'm thankful. I can only pray that you are as happy about where you are now as I am happy about where I am now.

Dear Stranger,
You don't know me, and I don't know you, but we could fix that real quick. I'm Hannah. I'm 15-A sophmore in highschool. I live in good ol' Texas. I have a wonderful family- one sister, Mom, Dad, Grammy, Poppy, etc. I love Jesus, and if you don't know him, I'd sure be happy to introduce you to him. I very much enjoy going to church. I play volleyball...for now. I love the sport, but.. well that doesn't matter(: I do well in school, because I work hard to do well. I have a few close, AMAZING friends. They make me laugh 24/7. Most of the time I like to meet new people(; So if you ever are looking for a new friend, hit me up(:

Day 5: Write A Letter To Your Dreams
So I think it's funny that technically the assignment is to write a letter TO my dreams. So I'm going to take this as literally as possible(:
Dear Dreams,
I work really hard to fulfil you. Some times it's really difficult to achieve you, but that's okay, because it's all worth it in the end. Some of you long term dreams like Going to College, Getting a Degree In Elementary Education, Getting Married and Making a Family, Going Into the Mission Feild: are going to be tough to overcome. I know I have some awesome people to help me out along the way though. Sorry I'm I've got such high expectations, but achieving a dream that's easy to achieve isn't nearly as rewarding as achieving a dream that's not so easy to achieve. All of you are important. Without dreams life would be almost pointless. So thanks. Hopefully all see you all come true sometime in my future<3

Day 4: Write A Letter to Your Sibling
Dear Hallie,
You're a freak. But that's okay. You are insanely crazy. You're too smart for your own good and that gets you in trouble sometimes. You are sneaky and a good actor(or liar) (; Sometimes I get mad at you but I still love you. You know how to tick me off. You're loud, goofy, and unnecessarily imature at times. You are lots of fun, hilarious, and sarcastic. You're mature even when you dont act it. You're comfortable in your skin: something even the skinniest super models are jealous of you for. You love everyone unconditionally. You stand up for what you believe in. You're NOT shy. You just crack me up 24/7!
I love you!

Day 3: Write A Letter To Your Parents
Dear Mom and Dad,
You guys are the greatest. You support me no matter what. You have an unconditional love that can't be matched by anyone other than God. I know I can rely on you for anything. I think you've done a pretty good job of raising us if I do say so myself. I know I get aggravated at you every now and then, but I know you just want the best for me. And I know y'all get aggravated at me sometimes, but you should know that one if my greatest pleasures is in pleasing you guys(but I'll admit, it's also pretty fun to tick y'all off[;). I've realized, especially in the past year, that I am MORE than fortunate to have y'all for parents: godly people who love me and take care of me no matter what. I'm lucky to have parents at all and the fact that y'all are who you are, is only an added bonus. Even though you don't let me do everything I want to, like ride in the car with a boy to CHURCH, or go see Paranormal Activity 2, I know it's because you love me you don't want me to turn out like some of the other hoodlum people we have to deal with; which is good, because I don't want to turn out that way either. And even though you rag on me about my grades, I know you're proud of me. So anyways, I'm thankful for you and I love you. A lot(:

Day 2: Write A Letter To Your Crush
Dear Drew Brees,
You are extra cute. The only reason I watched the Super Bowl this past year, is because the Saints were playing. Haha! You're obviously a pretty good quaterback, because ya'll won that Super Bowl. You were also in that video we watched before the game and you were talking about how we need to be good Christian people, so that was pretty cool too. I definitely still have the little trading card thing that Randy gave us with your picture on it. It's on my mirror. If I were a few years older, I'd totally marry you. (; Keep playin' hard!

Day 1: Write A Letter To Your Best Friend
I have so many amazing friends, I wont be able to write a letter to all of them. But here's a few.
Dear Elizabeth,
Even though other people probably just consider you one of my mom's friends that I get dragged around with, I consider you one of my best friends. You are a TON of fun to hang out with, even if you are a few years older than me.(; You can make a good time out of any situation. You're smart, funny, sarcastic, and crazy creative. You're tolerant of mine and Hallie's fighting. You listen to good music. You care enough to come over to my house late at night to help me write an IWA that I've procrastinated on for too long. You take us on adventures to midnight movie premiers, wrong turns through the Dallas ghetto, crowded Peruvian markets, and into the back seats of scary drunk/blind cab driver's cars. You always have the best themed Christmas and Birthday gifts. You have the greatest sense of style. You're laugh is contagious. You're not afraid of having your own (strong) opinions. You treat me like an adult. You have a heart for God and a drive to fulfill his will. You sacrifice so much to help others. You are level-headed and classy. When I grow up I can only hope to be half the person you are. I miss you like crazy and I can't wait until you get back so we can sing songs from musicals at random moments. I love you and I'll see you soon.
-Hannah
Dear Tiffani,
Girl, I don't even know WHERE to start with you. You're insane, I swear. I love how you can always say the exact thing I'm thinking, since I'm better at holding my tongue than you are.(; I'm glad you hate people too because now I'm not alone. The looks we give each other when someone says something stupid make me smile. You know how to push my buttons and then make me laugh with some stupid comment. "QUIET MUSICAL HOG! KNOCK IT OFF!" It's great how no one, including us, ever knows why we're laughing, but we just keep on going. Whenever I need someone to talk to, I call you. You know when to cheer me up, or when to just agree and let me pout. You understand my "problems" and always have some kind of advice, even if it just makes me laugh. You tell me straight up if I'm being unreasonable. "Oooo boy, GO HOME!" If we didn't live right down the street from each other, I think I would die. We're easily amused when we're together. I love our late night talks in our.....secret place(; that we haven't been to in FOREVER. I swear I'll be 80 years old and still be screaming "SO?!" at annoying people, and when that happens, you'll just roll out to the hallway and laugh with me. I'm pretty sure we could spend and entire day together without saying one word; just giving each other looks: because we're that good. I think in the past year or two we're both come out of our shells a bit; not that you had much shell left to come out of, but if it wasn't for you I'd probably be the nerdy shy girl in the corner who doesn't know how to stand up for herself. You taught me how to have sass(which my mother probably hates you for) and your ability to say things to people that you TOTALLY mean and they TOTALLY don't think you mean, cracks me up. "I'm busy. You're ugly. HAVE A NICE DAY!" I'm glad you're my friend, because without you, life would be pretty darn boring.

Dear Fatlack,
Sometimes I wonder about you.... but then that's one of the reasons I love you so much. You're my SNEEPGBFFAATRTHCSBAACG and there's no one else in the world I would chose to go on Marvelous Miss-Adventures with. You are incredibly random, and a tiny bit slow. You make life enjoyable, even when we have to pause for a minute to explain the situation to you. Apple picking just isn't any fun without your trusty fellow Evil Evilian. Sometimes I think you have Turrets because of the random times when you "accidentally" spit out a cuss word(; I'll never go paint balling without you, because who else is crazy enough to roll over tree stumps with me?? You're smarter than you let across though. Sometimes think that secretly, you're an evil genius; you're just also a really good actor, sent to the earth by aliens to capture the love and trust of us earthlings so that you all can take over the world! But it's just a theory. When I think back to the times I've laughed the hardest, you're always right there with me, rollin' on the floor while everyone looks at us like we are insane. That will never change. Someday, when we finally get our Dolphin-Riding License, we'll run(or ride) away into the ocean and build our underwater mansion with a Pole Hole and a slide in every closet. Then, when: and only when we've finished building, we'll come back just long enough to pick up Tiffani and then we'll live happily ever after in our aquatic haven. Hahahaha(; Thanks for your completely random and out-of-the box-thoughts. They brighten my day.
I LOVE YOU FATTY FATLACK!(:

Dear BondJamesBond,
Let me start by stating the obvious: You're awesome. The competition we have going on with our grades, is what keeps me working hard in school; because I wouldn't ever want you to beat me by .7 points.. That would just be humiliating..(; I wish you'd come to church with me every now and then, just because I wish you could see why it's so important to me. You do have an excellent sense of humor, even if I do have you figured out. haha. You'll never be able to tell me "maybe" ever again, because I don't take no for an answer.(; I love how we can go to Applebee's and end up grounded for staying out too late, even if we were just talking about whatever came to mind. Mr. Babcock's class is only entertaining because I get to see your reaction to his stupid comments. "It's in your heart, James. Just twiddle your thumbs!" You're sarcastic and you confuse me sometimes, but that's okay. You're the only one of my friends that can actually call ME slow. Haha(: You tell me when I look terrible and I tell you when you're out of line. You and Morgan are the cutest, even if ya'lls PDA levels are OFF THE CHARTS(; I know I can always talk to you when I need a straight-forward answer. Thanks for being my BGF!(:
