Dear 2011,
I loved you a lot. I loved the planning, the bridal parties, the family and friends time and every second of the wedding. I loved the honeymoon, the moving in together and every day since with my husband. Dental school... I didn't love the boards, the terrifying clinic experiences or the hundreds of exams. However, I do love that I survived. I also love that the idea of filling a tooth no longer keeps me up the entire night before. 2011... you brought surprises, sadness, humility, fun, responsibility, maturity, but mostly utter happiness. Thanks 2011 for making me who I want to be.
Sincerely, Erin
Dear 2012,
I am excited for you. I look forward to an anniversary trip to California, to becoming a senior in dental school and to our last full year in Omaha! I will relish in my last year of having a real spring and fall, and enjoy the 16 more months of having shopping where I live. Please don't let my 25th birthday come too fast... that seems way too close to being 30. It will be nice to rent a car for cheaper, though. 2012, teach me how to be a better me, and if you have time rebuild my desire to run again. I hope that 2012 gives us some visitors to Omaha, and that the black eyed peas bring us prosperity. Oh, and Edward I look forward to you on November 16, 2012.
With Hopeful Admiration,
Erin
