Dear Self: Yes you’re back home from one of the best vacations of your life. While it may seem horrible now, I promise things will get better in a few days. Just try not to think about long days at the beach, delicious fish, more free time than one could imagine, and zero responsibility. As long as you refrain from dreaming about those times you should be okay. If not, sorry in advance.
Dear Vacation: I will miss you so much. First day back from the last two weeks is going to be rough, but I think that I can handle it
Dear Bed: I’m home! Let’s bond
Dear Suitcases: Maybe you could find it in your sweet heart of hearts to unpack yourself. I would love love love that.
Dear Readers: I had a ton of fun looking at the information below. Hope that you enjoy it too!
Remember how I just did a 2012 recap? Well while I was doing my usual blog reading, I found this great recap from Jessica. I told her that I would copy her format and you better believe that I come through on my promises.
