Dear Ruby,
Hey sweetie! I hope everything is going well with you, it has been pretty warm here all week. You been enjoying the outdoors or staying cooped up watching a screen? Hopefully the latter. Thought I would write you and let you know what is going on lately.
Punxatawney Phil (the groundhog) didn’t see his shadow, that means an early spring!! They had Five Nights at Freddy’s on our movie channel last night, it was pretty creepy. Did you like it? How much different was it from the game?
I’ve been watching fishing every Saturday. I can’t wait to go fishing again. You used to like going with me, remember? Have you been fishing at all? I’m sure you and Seth would have fun fishing. I think I’m gonna save for a bass boat when I get out, nothing too fancy but with some decent electronics.
Speaking of saving, my old roommate sent me a book called Total Money Makeover. I’ve been trying to learn how to better manage money, hopefully I’ll be able to instill in you some financial principles while you’re still young. I know a better understanding of finances would have made my life a lot different. As for now I just gotta budget my food spending. It is kind of easy to save on that right now because I’m in culinary arts class. Not sue if I told you about the foods I’ve made: pumpkin rolls, corned beef hash, corned beef and cabbage, baked spaghetti, a 1/2lb grilled burger (real beef, first one of those I’ve had in over 4 years), fruit smoothies, raspberry danish, 4 berry pie, also deboned and pan fried a chicken quarter. Everything was great except the chicken, I didn’t season the flour enough.
All this extra eating has got me back up to 215lbs! I gotta incorperate running and cardio into my workout schedule. I’m planning on losing this belly by the end of summer, hopefully all goes to my arms lol.
I finally got put on the list for chapel, I go tonight. I’m excited about that.
I love you and miss you.
Remember God made you special and He loves you very much.
Love,
Daddy
