Love Letters to Two Amazing Weeks

Dear Five Guys,

You are sooooo delicious. Your burgers are fresh. Your fries are overflowing. You are deliciousness embodied. Thank you for "hitting the spot" for us on Friday night.

Love,

Michal

Dear Hyde Park Street Fair,

Thanks for the yummy smells, cool booths and weird people. We don't thank you though for hosting people that we would prefer not to have seen. Also it would be nice if next time there were a little bit more lights. It got dark and we couldn't see anything.

Love,

Michal

Dear Eagle Greenbelt,

I appreciate how empty you were Saturday morning so Kristen and I could wander about your paths and climb all over your bridges in peace. We also appreciate you being host to Bardenay so we could eat our tuna sandwich and delicious French bread with tomatoes and cheese without breaking the bank.

Love,

Michal (and Kristen)

Dear Idaho,

Your beautiful weather has been such a blessing lately. The fact that I can sit outside for hours after school and not be cold and enjoy the gorgeous sky and white fluffly clouds and warm sunshine and incredible sunset while sitting on a chair or reading a book or lying on the classic dinosaur blanket. Please don't change. But I know that when you do, I can sit at my window and drink Nutcracker tea with honey. Delicious.

Love,

Michal

Dear Snake River Valley and Wineries,

Beauty personified. The end.

Love always and forever,

Michal

Dear History Department,

You all rock. Period.

Love,

Michal

Dear Ste Chapelle Special Harvest,

Don't ever change.

Love always,

Michal

Dear Mom,

The care package of Skittles, Granola bars, clothes, Starburst, Cheez-its, and Applesauce Brownies is incredible. You're the best mom in the world.

Love,

Me

Dear Kristen, Ann, Steph and Britta,

Thanks for hanging out with me during my first Women's Celebration Fitness Walk. Loved walking the 5K with you guys, looking at the beautiful houses by the Depot, seeing the views of Boise from downtown and from the Depot. Thanks for weaving with me, Britta, and not teasing me when I asked who "Team Jared" was about. It was great to relax on the grass afterwards and eat our snackies (except that questionable yogurt). You're the best!

Love,

Michal

Dear Taste of the Harvest,

You outdid yourself this year! The food was incredible (that naan and the bruschetta!), the wine was flowing freely, the onions were free, the grass was soft, the music was jumpy and the friends were plenty. I am so glad I was here (and got to help tear down afterwards).

Love,

Michal

Dear Bronco Nation,

I'm glad that you won, I really am. But please be aware that not everyone is a Bronco Nation fan.

Sincerely yours,

Michal

Dear Downtown partiers,

Thanks for those two fights. They were fun to watch. The antics were great. Tom Grainey's was hopping. Mack and Charley's was confusing. China Blue was dirty. The Balcony was too expensive. Next time, learn to hold your alcohol (I'm taking to you Pukey McPukerson).

Love,

Michal

Dear Jill,

I love you and am so excited you are getting married. Your shower was great!

Love,

Michal

Dear Flying M,

You are an incredible host for when I want to meet friends like Megan and Alexis. Your wi-fi is free, your coffee is fresh, your jams are hip. Never change.

Love,

Michal

Dear ISF,

I loved your theatre. Small and cute and no bad seat. Plus you can bring your food in and eat while you watch! The Woman in Black was a creepy but sooo good (even though one of the actors sometimes lost his accent). Thanks for the great experience (and good company and good food!)

Love,

Michal
