ear Aunt Helena,
Greetings from Morocco. We’re having a wonderful time here. If you ever get the chance, you should add this wonderful place to your travel schedule. I hope you enjoy the enclosed pictures. I took them myself.
By the way, Nathan finally told me you guys’ secret. I can’t believe you actually crashed his bachelor party. What on earth are we going to do with you?
Wasn’t it great to see Travis and Smokey serving as groomsmen at the wedding? Who knows, maybe there’s still a chance for them to bury the hatchet. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
Well, I have to go. I hope to see you soon,
Love,
Risa
Dear Risa,
Thanks for the pictures. Next time try to keep your finger out of the shots. I hope we’ll soon hear the pitter-patter of little feet.
You’ll never guess what has happened. I met this wonderful man in Las Vegas last week. His name is Charlie and he’s a doctor. He’s also ten years younger than me, but what the heck? Anyway, we had a blast, painting the town. And guess what—we eloped. (Lucky number seven.)
I can’t wait until you meet him.
Love,
Helena
