Letters #45-80 a Tribute to one Liners

Just because these letters are lumped all together and are relativity short, doesn't make them any less thankful.

#45~ Dear aunt Johnnna, Thank you for making me feel so welcome into the family. Thank you for being so fun and crazy! I loved hanging out with you and the girls in Wendover. I had a blast! Thank you for being so helpful and loving.

#46~ Dear Timpanogos Temple worker, Thank you for getting me out of my comfort zone and asking Calin and I to be the witness couple. Although I was scared out of my wits, I learned a lot more. I appreciated the opportunity to participate in a new way. Thank you.

#47~ Dear Ryan Born, Thank you for making my cousin Corinne so happy! Thank you for being worthy to take her through the temple. I welcome you to the family and I am excited to get to know you better


#48~ Dear Nickel City counter worker, Thank you for giving us WAY too much candy! I think we were only supposed to get 57 pieces but, you gave us well over 100 pieces! Thank you for not really counting :)

#49~ Dear anti-itch cream, Thank you for doing your job. After getting 22 mosquito bites on my poor feet, I couldn't sleep! As soon as I put you on my feet I stopped scratching my feet! Thank you!

#50~ Dear Michael and Lindsey Cardoza, Thank you for inviting us over for "30 second fireworks"! We had a blast! You put on a pretty good show...and it was way longer than 30 seconds :)

#51~ Dear Keaton, Thank you for being my little buddy. You always loved being with me since you were a baby. Now a grown 9 year old, I worried that you wouldn't want to hang out with me but, you did! I love spending time with you. I love you so much! Please never grow up. If you do, at least never grow out of wanting to be my buddy. I love you and I miss you so much!

#52~ Dear Corinne, I am so proud of you for being worthy to enter into the Lord's Temple. You married Ryan for all time and eternity this week. Congrats! Thank you for being such a good example to the rest of our cousins. I love you and I wish you all the luck in the world!

#53~ Dear Netflix, Although you have raised your prices, I must still thank you for the awesome 6 months we have had together. You have provided Calin and I with loads of entertainment. Thank you for letting us watch Psych. We love Psych!

#54~ Dear FatCats, Thank you for letting me work for you. I get to work with the coolest people (including my beautiful cousin Taylor). I love doing all your social media marketing! It is so much fun! Thank you.

#55~ Dear Uncle Greg, Thank you for getting us a hotel room in Wendover. You are a very generous person. Thank you! We love seeing you! Thanks for letting us hang out at your house and for welcoming me into the family.

#56~ Dear JR, Thank you so much for making my Grandma Carol so happy! You two are so stinkin' cute together. I loved getting to know you. Thank you for all your hard work with missionary work and temple work. I appreciate your example and I want Calin and I to follow in your footsteps. Thank you for making me laugh. I love you!


#57~ Dear Grandma Carol, Thank you for loving me so much! Thank you for saving the temple apron for me. I knew I was DEFINITELY supposed to marry Calin when I found out you had saved an apron from your mission companion Sister Beth Titensor and you wanted me to have it. Thank you! Thank you for being so funny and sarcastic. I loved talking with you. I hope to get out to Oklahoma to visit you and JR soon! I love you!

#58~ Dear Grease 2, Thank you for coming up with amazing songs about bowling, reproduction and Co-O-O-O-L Riders! I have watched you two days in a row. Thanks for the laughs!

#59~ Dear Target, Thank you for printing my photos (unlike Walmart...) You made my visit very nice. Your employee was extremely helpful! Thank you for your wonderful customer service.

#60~ Dear Bishop Hershey, First, thanks for having a cool name like Hershey! Thank you for being so welcoming, understanding, fun & a wonderful bishop! Thank you for laughing at the speakers jokes (even when on one else does). You are a fantastic bishop. Thank you.

#61~ Dear Hailey Hess, Thank you for welcoming me into the Hess family. Thank you for making me laugh. You have such an awesome sense of humor! I am so glad to call you my sister. I love you!

#63~ Dear Tigger, Although I usually avoid you, our house would not be the same without you. I must apologize for dropping you off of furniture and other high places. I like when you don't scratch me or make my eyes itch. Thank you for being a best friend to Russell. When I see you two together, it makes my heart smile. Thanks for being a silly kitty and making our house complete. Ps. your picture makes me giggle. This was his first bath. I don't think he liked it too much.

#64~ Dear Modern Family, Thank you for making me laugh my socks off! I can't wait til you start up again! Thank you for providing me with a year of laughs (I have a Modern Family calendar). Thanks for being so funny yet teaching life lessons at the same time! Thanks!

#65~ Dear Style Network, Thank you for being my background noise while I work all day. You have the coolest shows! Jerseylisious! Project Runway reruns! Guilliana and Bill...Man! I love it! Thanks for the entertainment! Dear Lawrenece, Thank you for taking my reception pictures! We had so much fun with you! You really took some amazing shots! I loved that when the music came on and my bridal party started dancing (when we were supposed to be posing) you went with the flow. I have awesome reception pictures! It was perfect! Thank you SOOO much!

#66~ Dear Lawrenece, Thank you for taking my reception pictures! We had so much fun with you! You really took some amazing shots!

#68~ Dear Kailey, Thank you for holding my hand in our family portrait. I think we were about 9 years old. That picture makes me smile every time I look at it. We were so stinkin' cute! Now we are grown women with husbands...weird! Thanks for being a great cousin and friend! I love you!

#69~ Dear scale, Thank you for not sugar coating or sparing my feelings. You are truly a great friend. You always tell me like it is. I appreciate the honesty (even though it sucks sometimes) Thanks!

#70~ Dear Tide, Thank you for taking stains out of my clothes. Thank you for making them smell so nice! Thanks for keeping us clean!

#71~ Dear Jessica Magalei, Thank you for taking such BEAUTIFUL pictures on my wedding day! I know you were super busy that day and made time for me. Thank you. I loved every single one of them! Thank you for making sure I was a happy bride. Thank you for being so focused and directing my family around. You were perfect! I love how creative you are. I admire your talent! I will definitely be using you in the future! Family photos, baby photos...I can't wait! Thank you so much! Yay!


#72~ Dear Sweet Old Lady at Walmart,
Because I refuse to enter Walmart, I was able to meet you. I was sitting in the passenger seat and you kept looking at me. I felt kind of weird and wondered why every few seconds you would look up from filling your cooler with ice and stare at me. A minute later you started walking towards me. I kept muttering to myself, "please don't knock on my window...please don't walk on my window..." You knocked on my window. While filling up your small cooler with ice, you'd noticed the car top carrier on our car. You had extra ice and knew we were traveling. Thank you for thinking of us. It was a small and simple act but, it taught me a lot. I tend to be so involved with me that I don't notice the car top carriers on anyone else's car. Thank you for the valuable lesson.


#73~ Dear Lindsey Grossenbach,
Thank you for being Kenzie's friend. You two are so fun together! Thank you for being normal even though you have had some AMAZING opportunities so far in life. I am super proud of you and all that you've accomplished! You are a beautiful girl and an amazing model. Thanks for being my pretend sister. Sometimes I feel like we are real sisters :) I love ya Lindz!

#74~ Dear Erin Tate, Thank you for being such an amazing visiting teacher! You have been so kind to me. I enjoy when you come over. Because I work from home and have all online classes for school, I don't get much social interaction and I feel like we are old friends catching up when we talk. Thank you for always remembering me. You have made Crescent Arms bearable

#75~ Dear Brandon and Rainy Christensen, First, WOW! You are the BEST home teacher I've ever had! Seriously! Calin and I adore you and your beautiful wife. Thanks for making us feel like your friends instead of an assignment. We love when you come over! Thanks for all the yummy treats and good advice. I appreciate it! Thanks!

#76~ Dear Apple, Thank you for inventing a phone. Although I do not own one, my dad does. After years and years and years and years of trying to convince my dad he needed a phone, we did it!!! He told us he would only get a phone if it was an iPhone. He was so use to his iTouch that he didn't want anything else. It has been so awesome being able to get a hold of my dad anytime any day! Wahoo! Thanks Apple!

#77~ Dear Fall Weather, Thank you for your beautiful colors. Thank you for the crunchy leaves. Thank you for the delicious smells. Thank you for the cool weather. Thank you for the fun holidays during your season. Thank you for making me happy. Thank you for reminding me of all of God's beautiful creations. Thank you for all the pumpkin treats that are part of the wonderFALL season!! Thanks!



#78~ Dear Curtis Dye, Thank you for being the world's greatest boss! I remember the day I met you for my interview. I was super nervous because I REALLY wanted the job. I had no idea what I was in for! We met in Costa Vida and you were super nice! You asked me a bunch of, "So, who is Meghan?" questions and then told me to create a proposal for you. I immediately went to work. Needless to say, you hired me. I have LOVED getting to know the inner workings of FatCats. I started as Social Media Marketing Director and now I get to do so much more! I love my job. I love that you allow me to be creative and actually DO my job. You don't boss me. You direct me. I love it! I love working with you and I am so grateful for all the opportunities you have already given me. I am learning so much. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for putting up with my pushiness. Thanks for letting me have the best job in the entire world!

#79~ Dear Man with Cane, Usually when people open doors for me I mutter, "Thank you". Today when you opened the door for me at Barnes and Noble I muttered those two words and briskly walked through the doors. I realized 10 seconds later that I only said the words--I didn't really mean them. I wish I would have looked you in the eye and said loudly, "Thank you! Have a good day!" Keep on opening doors. It is a little thing but, even though you may not get a huge response, it means the world to those who have the ability to slow down and notice. Thank you for your kindness.

#80~ Dear piano, Thank you for being small enough to fit inside my apartment. You have allowed me to continue to have music in my home. Music is my vice. I can't even imagine who I would be with out music. Thank you!
