Letter #15: The person you miss the most

Dear Ms. Craig,

Yeah how lame, right? The person I miss the most is my kindergarten teacher? Well I did some deep thinking on this letter, so here's why I'm writing to you.

I miss kindergarten more than any high school student ever should. I wanted to marry Shaggy from Scooby Doo and George of the Jungle. All I had to do to make friends was share my jumbo pack of crayons with people. And you made me feel special. Think about it, all a kindergarden teacher is expected to do is teach kids the alphabet, the numbers 1-10, make sure everyone lives through the school year, and be nice to all the kids. And Ms. Craig, you did your job REALLY well. I couldn't wait to go to school because you made me feel like the greatest kid on the planet.

So I hope you're doing well. As you can see I really miss your class from ten years ago, and I hope you're still being a wonderful kindergarten teacher :)

LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #14: Someone you've drifted away from

Dear Ariana,

Let's go back to... kindergarden, shall we? Wow, that makes me feel old!! We were completely inseperable. Then we were so happy when our moms put us both in multi-age. That's when you introduced me to Amberlie, then the three of us were always together. Remember on twin day when we decided we were going to be rebels and do triplet day instead? That was awesome :) You and your sisters made my life amazing. I played horse tag for the first time with you and Victoria!! I've never had so much fun but been so scared at the same time in my life.

There are a couple reasons I haven't talked to you in what seems like forever. Oh my goodness I forgot your birthday for the first time in like 10 years!! :( Wow I'll have bad dreams about that tonight... Anyways, I don't know what your number is now! I think it changed like three times... Also, no one ever lets me know when you're at your grandpa's house, which is what? Two seconds away from my house?

Anyways, thanks for being such an amazing friend to me for so long, hopefully I'll get to talk to you soon!

LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #13: Someone you wish could forgive you

Dear Savannah,

So I know you say you forgive me, and maybe you really do, but I feel still feel so bad!! I was so full of it in 5th grade, and I know I should have treated you better because you were all such amazing friends :)

Well... I pretty much love you!! I had so much fun at the football game yesterday, especially when Dominique made me spit rootbeer all over myself :) You guys always make me do something strange when I'm around you.

See you in english!

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #12: The person who caused you a lot of pain

Dear Jalyn,

It's crazy to think we were inseperable, and then out of nowhere, something really small turned into something huge, and soon you were telling me that your sister said you couldn't hang out with me. Really?? Is she your mom?

All I can say is that I'm kind of grateful that happened. Not that having to go to school every day with absolutely no friends was fun, but I found out who my real friends were. And I probably wouldn't have met Daysia, and no offense, but if I had stayed friends with you, and looking at you now... I have no idea where I'd be.

I know we're not really friends now, but I'm glad that we've both moved on, and that you don't glare at me anymore. Can't wait to see you at school!

LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #11: A Deceased Person You Wish You Could Talk To

Dear Great-Grandpa,


First of all, I just want to say that I feel so lucky I even got to know you at all. You've done so much for everyone. Me, your family, your community, your country. I can't even tell you how many 100% history assignments I've gotten all because of you and the service you have done this country.


I don't think I've ever cried from sadness and happiness as much as I did when you died. Your blonde jokes that were shared. The competition of who was the favorite child, grandchild, great-grandchild (I win in that category!) when we all knew that you loved us all the same. And it is more love than anyone else has ever shared. When I saw the picture that you had of me in your wallet, I broke down and cried the rest of the day away. And every time Grandma tells me the story of how you jumped up and down like a little kid when you found out I was a girl still makes me laugh until I cry. Mostly because you were in your seventies when I was born, and that kind of energy is something everyone counted on you to have. Running out the door when we pulled into the driveway, jumping out of an airplane when you were 50 just to prove you could do it, the stories go on and on.


I truly am grateful for the blessings you gave us while you were here, and I can't wait to see you again. I love you and miss you more than you know.


LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #10: Someone You Don't Talk To As Much As You'd Like To

Dear Abby,

It really stinks that pretty much the only time I get to see you is twice a year at girl's camp or certification, or occasionally in the hallway at church. But I do know that when we're together at camp, I'm always having SO much fun!!

Sometimes I get jealous of this crazy, awesome energy that you always have. I've never, ever seen you looking bored, or tired, or mad, or sad and I wish I could be more that way. It makes everyone want to be around you, and I swear it's contagious because every time I'm with you, I feel just a little more tempted to go do something insane and crazy and fun!!

Well gorgeous, I love you and hopefully I'll see you around soon!

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

P.S. You are so lucky to be in the ward with all the cute guys!!! :D

Letter #9: Someone You Wish You Could Meet

Dear Wendy,

There are times I just sit and think about how my life would be if you were here. Would Matthew have been born? Would I already be an aunt right now? Would you be the best big sister I could ask for? Would I have shared a room with you my whole life? It really stinks to think that I'll never know. God must have really wanted you up in Heaven with Him to take you back so soon after you were here.

How is it in Heaven? I can only imagine... I have to say I'm jealous you get to hang out with Great-Grandpa all day. I'm sure you've heard all of his blonde jokes by now. Man, I really didn't want to cry writing this, oh well...

I can't wait to see you, only 102 more years! I'm living until I'm 116, in case you didn't know... Tell everyone there I said hi, and I couldn't have asked for a better guardian angel.

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #8: Your Favorite Internet Friend

Dear Jillian,

I honestly just sit there sometimes and try to figure out how you get your blog to be so awesome, without even trying. Whenever you post some new awesome picture that you've edited I just think DANG! How does she do that?? I really hope that I can someday have 120 followers like you do. I'm sure it will take a lot of work... Like I said I still have no idea how you got that to happen.

So unfortunately we probably will never meet, mostly because you live at the other side of the country. I have been to Chicago once... and to tell you the truth I did NOT like it. There were so many homeless people that made me sad and it always smelt like tires, I guess that's just the country girl in me :)

Well, thanks for following my blog and for asking me so many questions on formspring because I have next to none. Looking forward to your next post!

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #7: Your Ex-Boyfriend

Dear Dylan,

Oh boy... well I have a lot to say to you right now, that's for sure. Why can't you just say something? You have so much to say when you're texting me, but when I actually see you, nothing comes out of your mouth!! Oh well, I really think we should stay friends for a while. I'm really sorry if I hurt you when we broke up, there was so much going on and I was hearing all these crazy things about you and I just couldn't do it anymore... Well I really do hope that we can be friends and that you'll be able to say something at the dance. I know you'll text me soon so I'll talk to you then!

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #6: A Stranger

Dear Suspenders Guy,


So I saw you at the dance on saturday and my friend really wanted to dance with you. We had to keep tabs on you all night just to make sure she was in sight in case you wanted to dance with her! Maybe at one of the next dances you'll ask me or my friend to dance and then you won't be a stranger. Well, it looked like you had a fun time and that's a good thing... one question though, do you always where suspenders to the dances?


LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #5: Your Dreams

Dear Dreams,

Well Dreams, you are very random, that's all I gotta say... But I sure wish you could respond to this letter, because I want to know what the creepy old lady trying to strangle me dream was all about. I only got 3 hours of sleep that night, just so you know. Last night's dream was very interesting: little brothers and boys and avocadoes and flowers all somehow mixed together. Can I please get a dream that makes a little more sense tonight?

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #4: Your Sibling

Dear Connor,

I can't believe how strong you've been after you got hurt so bad like that. I'm so proud of you for hanging tough through all the stuff you've had to go through with your destroyed hand. I really hope you get to come home tomorrow. It's not the same without you running around the house with your swords and you dancing and singing to KISS songs all day. I really wish I could be a better big sister to you. I love you so much and I hope and pray that you aren't in any pain.

Dear Michael,

I'm really excited to go to the movies with you and Rachel tonight!! I just want you to know that you are such and amazing big brother (not THE most amazing, you and Matthew are tied :D ). You are such an awesome example to me... I know getting through high school with all the stupid things people are doing is hard to do. But you made it through so I know I can. Thank you for always being there for me when I need to talk to someone. I love you so much!

Dear Matthew,

"Oh, Paige! Your sunglasses match your face!" Yeah thanks for that bro :) You're sense of humor always has everyone smiling, no matter what the circumstance, and everyone loves you for that. Thank you for being such an awesome big brother to all of us. We appreciate it so much. You want to know the FIRST thing that Connor said on the way home from the hospital? "Is Matthew at home?" He totally adores you, we all do. Thank you so much for being there for me and the entire family. I love you so much!

Dear Jami and Juliet,

We sure do miss you two... Love you.


LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #3: Your Parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

Well, all I can say is thank you. You've been there for me and the rest of the family forever and I know you'll continue to be there for us. I know this won't even be close to the letter that you wrote me at Girl's Camp but I hope you like it...

I'm super scared for Connor right now... I can't even imagine the kind of pain he's in and I haven't even gotten to see him yet because I've been at Daysia's. Thanks for letting me come over here by the way, I haven't gotten to see her all summer.

Thank you for protecting me during everything I do, though sometimes I don't like it when you have to say no :) But this weekend, it'd be really awesome if you could let me go to the dance instead of the pool party!! :D

Alright, I'll just end by saying that I'm so happy that God gave me to you to be my parents, I couldn't imagine having any other ones. I love you both so much.

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #2: Your Crush

Dear Zach Porter,

The person that I sincerely like right now also qualifies for a couple other topics so I decided to right to my celebrity crush, you!

I've recently become an Allstar Weekend fan and I have to say you're my favorite of the four :) Maybe this isn't realistic... but I am still waiting for you to propose to me!

The 3 songs of your's that I have on my ipod are all in my "Top 25 Most Played" and the song Hey, Princess is my new favorite. It's so amazing, and I've literally had four dreams where you sang it to me :D

Well, thank you for being in one of the best bands ever and for writing my favorite song. :) I really hope I get to meet you someday and it would be unreal if you actually read this...
You're amazing!!

LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #1: Your Best Friend

Dear Daysia,

I can't believe it's been almost three years already. The way we met is kind of hilarious, at least we have one thing to thank Mrs. Byers for! I have to say our project in that class topped everyone else's, and I still have the video :)

I have so many things to thank you for.. 6th grade sucked, and after feeling like I had absolutely no friends, we got partnered up for that crazy science project, and you've been my best friend ever since. I love you so much for that and I hope that I'll be the same kind of friend to you that you've been for me.

I'm so psyched that your grandparents moved in so close to me! Hopefully we'll get to ride a lot. Oh and by the way I saw Tanya last night at Macayo's! She was our waitress :) I almost did the menu thing but I didn't think she'd remember...

We really need to start on that book of stupid things that we've done, because it will be the best book ever written. It will probably also be the longest book ever written because we have done so many stupid things :) But I'm so happy that I did those things with you... and I look forward to doing even more stupid things for many, many years!

I love you so much and you are so amazing to me!

LoveLoveLove,
Paige
