* Snail Mail *

There is something about school supplies that I love.  I don't know exactly what it is but I love the smell of paper, fresh paper and books period.  I'm just a nerd I should just admit. 

Anyway, I've always had a love of pens and notepads too and ever since I could remember I would play "office" writing all sorts of notes etc.  I'm still a list maker and I still love to write on anything from sticky pads to cute stationary.

Just recently I decided that I missed receiving and writing letters.  I love e-mail, facebook and texting don't get me wrong it's a quick way to get information to someone and communicate.  However there is something special about a handwritten note from a friend and even better from that special someone.

I love getting letters and it's been a while so I decided to put it out there.  (Well on facebook) that I would love to have a pen pal.  I had several responses and since then I have received 3 letters.  One from a friend who lives in Australia, one from my best friend Tiffany who is all the way in Ontario (wink wink) and one from my cousin Jose who lives in Texas.  Not a bad way to get started on having pen pals.

Now it's a matter of making the time to write them back and enjoy the exchange of letters via snail mail.  My all time favorite type of letter is a Love letter though.  It's the most romantic thing a guy can do for a girl and the best part is that you can read the letter over and over and it's something you can keep for a long time.  I miss those the most!

I'm off to write my pen pals back.  Yay!
