To Whom It May Concern:

Dear State Fair of Texas: You and me have our very first date this weekend and I am STOKED!! I need to see what all this talk is about! Ferris wheels, cowboy boots, and food that is really really bad for me...can NOT WAIT! (PS-why is your name so awkward? Why couldn't they just stick with "Texas State Fair"??)

Dear Husband: Sawwy I passed on my sickness to you. Juuuuuust when I'm starting to feel better, you wake up with a sore throat. (Whoops?!)  If you want to go ahead and award me with "Worst Wife of the Year" I will accept. But only this one time...

Dear House: You have a roof. And a little hole that will one day very soon be a fireplace. There's a back patio and even a front porch. I can see our little window seats starting to form and there's even a spot set up for the kitchen island. You really are becoming a home and it's just so neat to see how far you've come in just 4 short weeks! Soon enough, the Howards will be taking up residence but in the meantime, you just keep on growin', k?!

{I spy a fireplace!}

Dear Self: You just talked about your house like an expecting mother would talk about her fetus. That's weird. You're weird.

And I saved the best letter for last...

Dear Pinterest Addictees Alike: Do you, too, have boards that are ever-growing with things you want to do or make yet you've never actually made a single thing on there?

Ya...me too.

(Ok. Maybe I've made a couple of things.)

Welp, whilst spending many-a-Facetimes over vino, late nights of brainstorming and still, ever-growing Pinterest boards...the one, the only, Katie from Keep Calm & Carry On and I have an announcement to make...

BAM.

Yep. Saw it. Pinned it. Did it. 

(AKA: a new link up we'll be hosting every Thursday starting next week.) 

Yes-this is our very first link up to host EVER. (I know...where have we been!?)

We were nice enough to think ahead and give you all plenty of time to get your supplies together so I expect that to be at the top of your to-do list this weekend. Be sure to link up (next Thursday!), include the button we created (above), as well as the original pin from where you got your inspiration from and show us what you come up with! Whether it's a recipe you've been wanting to try, a craft of some sort, a new hairstyle, a fashion idea, etc...it's time we get to tackling those Pinterest boards! Yes?!

Oh ....and Katie and I decided if all of you don't participate, we're unfollowing all of your blogs effective immediately. See you on Thursday!! ;)
