Dear Friend,

It always seems like a good week is followed by a bad week – not two bad weeks in a row. Last week was extremely bad. I had a term paper to write and two tests to worry about. Like always I waited until the last minutes to start the five page term paper, which sucked and was super stressful. And the two tests just sucked. And then there were health issues and now I’m on so much medication it’s ridiculous.

But anyway, the one thing that I can always think of that will help me not be less stressful are the fun times that me and my boyfriend have together. When we’re with each other, nothing matters and we just do whatever. We can be doing nothing and still have fun together. I use the memories of him to get me through my tough times because he’s my best friend. And even though we’ve had out bad times together, they don’t matter because we’ve had more good times than bad times.

We’ve known each other close to a year and a half and we’ve been dating for about a year now so we’ve had so much time together to bond. And we known when the other person is upset or sad and we know how to fix it. So what I guess what I’m trying to say is that even though I do have other close friends, he is the one that I can think of and my bad week does get a little better. And the thought of him puts a smile on my face.

Lots of love,

Lexi

Dear Friend,

I have made you a CD for you to listen to whenever you’re driving or just bored and want to listen to something :).

The name of the CD that I made for you is, "Best Memories".

1. Live Your Life – Rihanna ft. T.I.
2. All The Same - Sick Puppies
3. Light Up The Sky – Yellowcard
4. Pachebel Canon in D Major – Bach
5. Hide and Seek - DJ Tiesto
6. Save Tonight – Eagle-Eye Cherry
7. The Great Escape – Boys Like Girls
8. & Down – Boys Noize
9. The Birds and The Bees – Breathe Carolina
10. Live Your Life – Rihanna ft. T.I.

I repeated the first and last song because that song does give a good message about living your life the way it is and not taking anything for granted. And I think that is a very essential life message to take from that song. When listening to this CD, I hope you get the feeling of being relaxed and just reliving all of our memories. I know that most of the songs on here have been some of our favorites :)

Since the holidays are coming up – my favorite time of the year!! – I get to see my family, which I haven’t seen since I moved away for college. It’s going to be so amazing to see them!

· My grandma smokes a lot but she swears a lot too and it’s so funny.
· My baby brother sticks to my dad’s leg like glue.
· My aunt is always laughing and talking with someone.
· My cousin is always trying to get someone to play a game of dominos with him.
· My grandpa is always putting mountains of whipped cream on his pumpkin pie.

Oh jeeze, I can’t wait for pumpkin pie now! Haha I guess I’ll have to wait three more weeks until Thanksgiving.

Lots of Love!!
