My Pen Pal...♥

So I am SUPER late with this!  But better late than never right?  Or even Fashionably Late?  Take your pick!  About a month ago I was over at Amira's blog Shades of Gray *which is amazing and adorable and any other complimentary words you can think of!* and she was having a penpal match up!  I love writing, I love making friends, but since I don't have facebook, and live in the middle of nowhere...well a penpal just sounded awesome!

And what do you know...I got an awesome penpal!  Her name is Elizabeth, and she is simply Lovely!  A navy wife with a hilarious blog!  How could I resist?  I am emberassed to admit how bad I've been about writing her but we've both sent at least one thing!  Better than nothing?  I think so, and besides it's quality not quantity.  I just wanted to do my first 'follow up' post and tell Amira what an awesome idea, and tell Elizabeth how glad I am to be her penpal and hope that we can get to know each other a lot better!  So far I've only been able to send letters but am working on a little package for her *Elizabeth if you're reading this forget that you read that* but she is super awesome and creative and giving and just all around thoughtful!  And she sent me this...

Some awesome candy! *not much left my husband has been bogarting it*, two amazingly scented body cleansers, and a sweet letter on the prettiest paper! Even the package she sent all this is was cute...*in case you were wondering I pretty much felt like the worst person ever for only sending a letter and not even on pretty paper!*

So yeah, my penpal is super thoughtful!  And creative, OH... did I already mention that she has an Absolutely Hilarious Blog? or a really great Etsy Shop?

♥...Because she does.  Click either of the above links and see for yourself...♥ 

♥...And of course don't forget to check out Amira's blog for a little everyday piece of Wonderful!...♥

So to sum it all up Elizabeth, Thank you!  And I promise to be a better penpal, I also hope that we can really get to know each other and become better friends I could really use a friend and you seem like such an awesome person!

And Amira thank you for having such a great idea and having such a sweet blog!

 

Pen-Pals!

♥...Pen-Pals...♥

Amira at Shade's of gray and I'm dumb so I couldn't put the TOTALLY cute pen-pal button that she had on her blog onto mine :( but I put the link to the post so I figure that's better than nothing right?!  Anyway I was reading around and saw that she's matching people up with pen-pals...I REALLY want a pen-pal!  I Love writing letters!  It's so nice!  And it's also really nice to have someone to 'talk' to, and the older I've gotten and since I've been married 'good' friends have been few and far between.  I guess I'm just wanting to make a solid connection with someone!  Maybe (hopefully) someone in the same place I am in life, married, has had some military experience lol, and Christian would be an absolute blessing! ...If anyone reading my blog is interested in having my as a pen-pal Please let me know!  I'd love it!  Hoping a get one soon! 

Have you ever had a pen-pal?
