Dear Owl City,

I'm glad we're friends.

Even if I don't love your music.

You're great.

All true,

Mumford

Dear Drama,

You encourage things to be difficult.

All I wanted was to be your friend.

With drama,

Robot

Dear Two,

...and now it's college.

I think things are working out.

Insert smiley face.

Dear Bowling,

The anxiety I get when you talk to me is absolutely irrational.

It makes my dating complex come to the surface...

Thank you for asking about my mission call.

I'll try to stop being afraid of you...

Really, so sorry,

Human

Dear Cameroon,

I had a ton of fun!

There should be a next time. :)

Thanks,

Playlist

Dear Wye Oak Pandora Station,

You make Spotify less of a necessity.

I less than three you.

<3,
Aficionado

reflect

Lately I have been utterly pensive.

I've been reading a lot, which tends to do that to me. Or amplify it, at least.

Regardless of why all this deep thinking has occurred, there has been a lot that's been negative.

Some self-doubt, some self-criticism, some reading into things, some... Just negative.

So I am here to focus on the positive.

Plus, with it being Thanksgiving and all, this is kind of obligatory, right? :)

I am grateful for..

A loving family, and the opportunity to be with them forever.

The greatest friends, and all the support they provide me with. 

(I wish I could show pictures of all of you!)

My roommates, who are fantastic, and not crazy (most of the time ;) ).

There are no pictures of all of us and it's a sin. :(

My knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and my membership in the LDS church.

Already being in my program, music therapy. It's a relief and I'm so glad I made it! Also, music in general. And my guitar. And musical friends. Yeah.

Utah State University, the right place for me :)

My mission call! I am so excited to serve the Dutch and Belgian people!

Cool people who create awesome things for others to enjoy. Like super great music, television, books, art... So many things!

Anyway, there are certainly more things, but these are the ones that are at the forefront of my mind right now! Life is good. Great, even. :)

Dear Falcon,

You are a fantastic friend.

Thank you for your support.

Also, awwww.

Love,

Kira

Dear Two,

So, keeping with the school theme that I unwittingly gave your previous letters...

This is more like high school... The good parts of high school. :)

Dear Tan,

That awkward moment when I was going to hug you but then I just stood there.

Yup, that was weird. But hey, good to see ya!

Sincerely,

Llama

Dear Drama,

I guess maybe it's better this way.

I'll leave you alone forever now.

Have a nice life,

Robot

Dear all of my missionary friends,

You guys are incredible examples. I'm so glad for you, because I know you're learning and growing and it's awesome and I miss you but you're doing amazing things and becoming even more amazing than you already were. Wow. That's awesome.

Love,

Kira


Dear Justin Vernon,
I would like to marry your voice. Sound good?
Also, your guitar skills.
With your music in the background, it will be a good winter.
Fangirlingly,
I have a sister named Emma...

i belong to...

...de kerk van Jezus Christus van de Heiligen der Laatste Dagen.

It's a mouthful, right?

lieve jongens acht (DB-8)

I figured it was appropriate to use Dutch for my title this week! Now ask me if I can pronounce that title... Ha. Aaaanyway. Yeah.

D-d-dear,

You are so nice!

Thank you for sitting by me and asking me about my life and things.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. :)

Sincerely,

Holland

Dear Two,

Wow. This is hard.

It's like middle school again.

But... It'll probably continue.

And that's okay.

Dear Jack,

I find myself strangely attracted to you.

You dress really well. And you're hilarious.

Keep it up.

Seriously,

Taller

Dear Mix,

Dude. Your music taste?

We're like the same. But I'm a woman.

And taller... Older... Yeah. Other stuff.

Sincerely,

F'real

Dear Disappointed,

I'm sorry.

Sincerely,

Me

Dear Sister Anjewierden:

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

You are assigned to labor in the 

Belgium/Netherlands Mission...

You should report to the Provo Missionary Training Center on 

Wednesday, March 20, 2013.

You will prepare to preach the gospel in the 

Dutch language.

After I opened my call, the next few hours were spent just like this... I don't like phones anymore! Haha.

I am so excited! Not only is it just a neat mission, but my dad's side of the family is from the Netherlands, and my grandparents are already serving in the exact same mission.
I have always wanted to go, but figured that chances weren't high.... Guess I just need to remember that it's not a situation of chance!

Anyway, more on that to come!

dear boys seven

I have some really exciting news, but it gets a whole post to itself. So. That will come later.

Here's this in the meantime. A day late, but I promise there was a good reason.

Dear Mish,

I've given up on your letter.

Maybe I'll write you again anyway.

A little dejectedly,

Me

Dear Ice Cream,

In a perfect world, your Facebook would have told me that you have a girlfriend.

Sincerely,

Darn

Dear Two,

So... Maybe we wouldn't be that awkward.

Okay we'd totally be awkward. But it'd be worth it.

And we wouldn't be cheesy. That's good.

Dear Highland,

You will be a wonderful missionary. :)

Do me proud, kiddo.

Love,

Kira

Dear Annie,

I broke it. But you asked.

Doesn't count, right?

Thanks,

Promise

dear boys six and Halloween

I know, it's not Wednesday. But yesterday was Halloween and I was doing fun things and studying for a test (less fun). Anyway, here we go, one day late.

Dear ...,

That was actually all right.

Thanks!

Kira

Dear Mish,

Please??????????

Desperately,

Kira

Dear Ice Cream,

Yeaaaah buddy, I got to come semi-stalk you despite my test.

I like talking to you. You're fun. :)

Sincerely,

Corn

Dear Curly,

I give up.

Adios,

Defeated

Dear Two,

Yup. But in that awkward elementary school way.

We could be cute. And awkward.

Love,

Three

Dear Jonathan,

This is the only Dear Boys that you will ever see appear on a not Wednesday. That's a promise. :)

Honestly,

Kira

Dear Mother,

I heart you.

Heart,

Kira

And here are some pictures of Halloween!

...+studying for ab psych and watching some Twilight Zone. It was a pretty good night!

Hope all y'all had a very happy Halloween too! :)
