To describe our growing up in the lowcountry of South Carolina, I would have to take you to the marsh on a spring day, flush the great blue heron from its silent occupation, scatter marsh hens as we sink to our knees in mud, open an oyster with a pocketknife and feed it to you from the shell and say, 'There. That taste. That's the taste of my childhood.' - Pat Conroy

Letter to Me

Miranda(21),
 
DO NOT go to Charleston for your 21st birthday. You and your fiancée spend way too much money and have no fun to show for it, and the only thing you want to do is have your first legal drink, but none of the bars in Chucktown will let you in, because your significant other is wearing a camo hat, turns out bouncers in Charleston don't like those apparently...it's a bust!
 
You're contemplating going to either Florida or New York for your bachelorette with Angela, although we did have a blast, go to New York, at 26 we still haven't gone and you know we still regret it to this day!
 
Don't get the tramp stamp tattoo! It hurts like a bitch, and you don't even get to see it, plus it's not your fave! Butterfly, how original!
 
So...about not wanting kids...that doesn't turn out too well, but don't worry, you won't be disappointed!
 
Our wedding day is just what you wanted it to be, but spend more time with dad and mom, it goes by in the blink of an eye and  you're going to wish you spent more time with them, don't worry there still here and kicking, it's just they have looked forward to your wedding day as much as you have.
 
Build the house, don't settle just because we get knocked up!
 
As much as you want it, do not buy the mustang, Chevy comes out with a bad ass Camaro within the next year and you will regret that purchase!
 
At this point in our life, you're way too worried about what others think, don't worry I've changed that for us, but why don't you go ahead and do that now!
 
Spend a lot of time with our little Pomeranian, Rascal, that's all I'm going to say about that :(
 
When work promotes you, DO NOT accept it, this will ultimately lead to you leaving the company and every thing that you had worked for.

The massive hair cut we got in 2009, yeah, don't make that appointment, you will hate it and ever since our hair has grown at the pace of a dead snail!
 
Until now, live it up!
 
Miranda(26)
 
P.S. We get to meet Jake Owen, he ends up getting married not long after, so try your best to make it count! :)

  1. I like that you would tell yourself to spend more time with your parents at the wedding. I should have done the same but you just get caught up and then it's over!

  2. I went to Charleston last month for the first time... and I have to agree with you. It wasn't a party-type vacation! Thanks for linking up. :)
