~ Highlight of the Day: Getting a letter from my awesome cousin who's serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in California - Spanish speaking :) ~

As stated in the Highlight above, I got a letter from my cousin Andrew today. I was so excited I opened it right there and read it while walking through the kitchen and dining room, up the stairs, and into my bedroom. Letters are so amazing. Why did we ever give them up for electronics? (I mean, despite the fact that they are 100X faster and more convenient :)

I've decided to be better about writing letters this summer, and so I've already written a response, and it's even in an envelope with an address and a stamp, ready to go into the mailbox first thing in the morning! I even drew a picture on the back. Or is that considered the front of the envelope? . . .

It's a ukulele-playing astronaut*, and I'm rather fond of him :) I think it's funny that we have all that free space on the envelope that we don't use. . . why not make life a little more interesting? It is a little odd because everybody can see what you do, but still. Sometimes blank spaces are just calling for ink, and who are we to deprive them of it!?

Ok, done with that rant.

*Yes, I misspelled astronaut on my letter. I contemplated whether the risks of simply guessing at the spelling outweighed going all the way upstairs to my computer to check it, and they didn't.
