Back to the Letters, Day 21- A letter to someone you judged by their first impression

I know I'm really bad at the whole letter things, but I'm trying to be better.

ANDDDD I know I'm a jerk.

Day 21

Dear Jennifer Ruggles,

Before you moved here, all the wards in the Richmond Stake were pretty close. We had no cliques or groups;

we lived in perfect harmony. And then around the time you moved here, it seemed like the Civil War had started: Richmond Ward against all the rest. Richmond was the "cool kids" and if you weren't in that clique, then you had no right to talk to or even look at the Richmond kids at stake dances. Of course the Mission Bend & Alief kids thought it was all your fault. [We know it's not, but we needed someone to blame and you happened to be the new kid... I'm really sorry about that] So point is, I didn't like you very much. I know it's wrong to judge someone without even getting to know them, but "everyone else was doing it" and you kinda stole my salsa partner.. So I was a tad-bit jealous. And you seemed like you had so much fun at the dances with the "cool kids" and I wish I had thaaaaat much fun with them. Then you were called to be Co-Chair for Youth Conference, and I was suppppper jealous! Because I've always wanted to be that, anddd you got to work with Troy- aka my boyfriend at the time. But so you worked with Troy, I got to get to know you a little

better, and then I found out we were both going to BYUH. I figured if I was going to be stuck on an island with you, I might as well like you. So I got to know you and I'm so glad I did. [Seriously if I hadn't, my first month and a half of college would of been a living Hell] Jennifer Rose Ruggles, you are one of the sweetest persons I've met. You've got a good heart and you're super fun to be around. I love hanging out with you and talking about the future and taking pictures with you. I know we don't hang out as much, and it really hurts. I understand and I've made some accommodations, but I still need my "Jen time" -and so do your other friends- Don't forget about us, because we'll still be there if it doesn't work out. [Which I know won't happen because y'all are BOUND to get married :D] But remember who will be in the Bride's Room with you in the Temple. Not your husband, but Us, your GIRLfriends. Anyway, I love you so much, and I'm so glad that we are friends today. I'm not sure if the Civil War is still going on, since we kinda don't live there anymore. But I'm glad there's no Civil War with us. And I'm sorry we had to break off our engagement ;) I know your heart belongs to someone else now :P.

Aloha au iā 'oe. Mahalo na mea ka'u makamaka.

I'm not sure this is the right translation.

But it means I love you, Thanks for being my friend.

All in Hawaiian of course ;)

Love, Alaire Moore
