dear sweet maddie,
let me start with a hello! i'm your momma's best friend and therefore i'll be your favorite person before you know it. i can't wait for you to get here so i can put you in all kinds of girls creations that i'm making. you see, i don't have kids and don't plan to for a while so you're it kid. everything will be about you soon. and while i'm a little worried about that (for fear that i can't call your momma 18 times a day or drop by anytime i want or take your mom out and get drunk and do stupid crap all day friends or harry potter marathons) i'm sure that you and i will get along wonderfully. oh who am i kidding. you're going to love me! and i'll love you too and we'll do all those fun things together.
in order for you to fit right in i'll need you to brush up on this...
and get used to these...
and you should probably try to learn all the words to this movie...
you'll soon learn about all the cool things in this world. like UK, AOII, sarcasm, cake, weddings and gossip. being a girl is pretty great. it can suck too but we'll talk about that when you're like 13 or so.
i'm going to teach you so many things. like how to do your hair and make-up, talk in one syllable words, totes, and how to be really funny. also, you'll need me when you want to go shopping because, while i love your mother, it's not her strong suit. it's ok. she knows!
you can come stay at auntie ash and uncle T's house anytime you like. oh who's T? well he's awesome and you'll love him. and one day when we produce our own offspring, you'll love them too. but try not to be too mean to them since you'll be older (like, a lot older). although being older kind of gives you a right to be mean sometimes, so i won't judge.
you'll be here in just over 4 months. and there's a lot going on between now and then but there's some awesome stuff happening after you get here and you'll just go bananas over it.
1. most importantly, my wedding. duh, i know you totally understand. it's going to be great and you'll get to do all the great stuff with us. if i could convince your mom, you'd come to the bachelorette party too but she thinks it's not kid friendly. pshhhh.
2. being born in may gives you the opportunity to see some pretty great holidays. july 4th, halloween, thanksgiving and christmas. heck, you'll be almost 8 months when santa comes, you lucky, lucky girl!
3. the summer olympics are back this year and we'll be spending a lot of time in front of the tv watching gymnastics and swimming. because, let's face it, no one likes the other events.
4. i started sewing over a year ago and am actually pretty good (oh, it's ok to toot your own horn every once in a while) and that means you'll be getting some awesome gifts. and i'll teach you how to sew when you're ready.
5. it's an election year and by golly i'll make you a little republican baby if it kills me.
there's so much more to tell you and show you so i'll be writing you a letter every week until you get here. you're going to love it. i'll share secrets about your mommy and tell you all about how cool we are.
one things for sure kid, you're gonna be loved. like crazy.
i can't even wait!
love,
ash
