Past, Present and Future.

Yesterday I did something interesting. It's the kind of thing you hear about many times in your life, but often don't think of doing it yourself. It was on my Bucket List so I decided, hey let me go ahead and get it out of the way. So last night I wrote a letter to my future self. 

I've heard of many people doing it before so I was interested in doing it myself. To be honest I wasn't entirely sure what to write. So I guess as a basis I told future me about how things are now as a reminder from the past, as well as remind future me of the things I wanted to accomplish within the next few years. The envelop is dated 3/11/2023, for those of you who know me 3/11 is my birthday. And 2023 will be my 30th. There are many things I hope to accomplish by then so it should be fun to receive a present from my past self on that day.


But then however I decided to take things a step further. I did something that I haven't really heard of anyone else doing before, so it was essentially my own idea. I decided to write a letter to my future wife as well.


Now this one was a bit trickier than the first. I know who I am, and what I plan to accomplish. It was a bit easier to write one to myself, but my future wife? Well if I'm being honest there is someone in my life that I'd eventually like to marry. No we aren't dating or courting or anything of that nature. But if it be the Lords Will then maybe, you never know. I'm a man of great faith. Anyway still do to uncertainty my future wife is addressed as such or just Mrs.Kendall Ford. 

Writing this letter was...interesting to say the least. Neither letter was very long, no more than around 3 pages on lined notebook paper. But for me it wasn't the length, but more-so the words in which were spoken. I'd much rather the letter to my future wife remain a surprise to everyone, and to be honest it's something that I want to be special just for her and her heart only. 

I hope to forget the contents of the letters soon so that when the day comes it may truly be a surprise. The letter to Mrs.Kendall Ford is dated as you can see for our Anniversary of the same year. I considered setting the date for my birthday also, but I thought that our anniversary would be more special. I'm not too bad when it comes to keeping track of things, so I'm hoping that I don't have any trouble keeping track of these letters. I pray that on that day she opens that letter I may have fulfilled all that I sought to in our marriage, been everything I've needed to be and make that a very happy and special anniversary.
