You have the guy of your dreams so have the wedding of your dreams (despite Dayton's student loans). After you walk down the aisle, have the marriage of your dreams. Have the family that you two...

Subject: My Muse?

Dear FutureMe, Just two days ago you turned 35, so here is a congrats from the past. I just turned 24. You know, your my inspiration and my worst fear all wrapped up in one.

How's it goin'?

Dear Future Rikki, I felt the need to write a letter into two years in the future, for some reason it feels right and a hopeful in some odd way.

We currently on 8/19/2015 by 10:19 PM have four cats: Ben...

Dear FutureMe, Hi. Right now, past-you is still looking for jobs.
