A letter from May 20th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Sam and I's wedding was amazing. It was supposed to thunderstorm all day and it didn't rain at all. I felt beautiful and Sam looked so handsome. I was a lot heavier than I wanted to be but I'm really hoping now that the wedding is over that I can really start to be healthier and lose weight. I hope Sam does too. We need to be healthier for when we have children. As of right now corona virus has kind of died down. The numbers are still increasing but the fear isn't as intense as it was and things are finally starting to open up again. By the time I read this in 5 years, I want to still be married to Sam, have at least one baby and own a house. I also hope that I have a newer car by then. It's very hard for us to save money so I'm hoping we can get our **** together. So hopefully in 5 years, we will have these things accomplished. I work right now as a dispatcher for DH Pace - Adams Door Company. I am excited to see if I am still at this company. I like it here so far. I make decent money and I like my coworkers. My immediate coworkers are Cat Thompson (my boss), Craig Furstenau (my direct boss), Mesha, Jereyl, Mark Wheeler, Brian Simmons and Daniel Bain. My techs are Ryan Bonnett, Kenny Davis and Jerry Aldrich. I hope that I get decent raises within 5 years or get promoted in the company within 5 years. We are moving to Waukee in July so I'm also excited to see where we will be living by the time I receive this email. I am going to write all of the amazing details I remember from my wedding day in case I forget. It was very windy. My veil kept flying everywhere and it was really annoying but my veil was pretty. Megan ran a block to Starbucks to get us girls Strawberry Acai refreshers. It was awesome. We took pictures in front of the Des Moines Public Library downtown and it was magical. The guys all looked so handsome. Sam's suit didn't fit properly which was kind of funny. His under shirt didn't button at the bottom. I slow danced with Megan and Haley and it was really special. We also got to cut the cake at our wedding with Sam's grandmother's cake cutter. That was also really special. I never got to meet her but I know how special she was to Sam and Patti. I know I keep calling everything special but it was. Everything was pretty much perfect. It all exceeded my expectations and I really hope I don't forget any of the details of our day. We live streamed it and took video on my Fuji Xpro 2, we toasted champagne, cut the cake, had our first dance and just hung out and had a great time. I'm not sure what else to say. I guess I could say all the stuff that went wrong with the wedding during the coronavirus. Our reception was canceled, we had to get married in a photography studio, my wedding band didn't show up, Sam's tux didn't fit, we had to cut our bridal party in half, I wasn't able to see Lilly after the wedding. I guess another thing I can add is the list of baby names I like because I know they are going to change. For girls we have Amelia, Kayla, Mia, Kinsey, Raegan, Maya, and Maeve. For boys we have Hudson, Levi, Warren, Logan, and Fletcher. I'm currently debating picking up quilting for a hobby. I also want to try more at digital art, make more pieces with macrame as well. My favorite color is pink... I think. I say it's red but some days it's yellow, other days it's orange, one day it's purple, etc.
