Letter to Me

I heard this song on the radio a few days ago. I've heard it before, but this time, it got me thinking... if I could write a letter to me, what would I say?

So... "if I could write a letter to me, and send it back in time to myself at 17..."

Dear Hillary,

You are turning 23 years old in 5 short days! You have so much to look forward to in the next 6 years-- some good, some bad, but everything that happens to you makes you the person that you are 6 years later. Always remember that you are so blessed, and you now have the best husband, family, and friends that you could ever ask for.

This year, your first "serious boyfriend" is going to break up with you. You will think your world has ended, but get over it and get over it quick! Tyler Dent is literally right around the corner, and he is the one that God put on this Earth just for you.

You go to college with plans to become a pharmacist... go ahead and accept the fact that you need to follow in your mother's footsteps and get an Accounting degree. The faster you realize this, the better off you will be. You can save yourself a lot of tears and stress if you will realize this before you begin taking Organismal Biology.

You will graduate high school and move to Troy with Jess. The two of you will spend the next three years traveling wherever you have to to watch a little baseball. You are going to think about letting Jess highlight your hair when you are freshmen... don't let her! You look better in a coma than you look with blonde hair!

On January 31, 2010, you will get in a car accident. Don't try to avoid it... more good comes out of it than bad (you're never in any pain). Just try to come out of the coma a little sooner- everyone's really worried about you! This is the time in your life when you find out that you are going to marry Tyler Dent. If he will stay by your side through that, he will stay by your side through anything!

Even 6 years later, you still have a lot of life to live. Live each day to the fullest and never take one day for granted.
