Dear Mediterranean Skies,

The fact that we've been blessed with so many good cloud days in a row makes me incredibly happy. Thank you.

Dear Aunt Kay,

I'm really glad you're liking the book! Also, I've been facebook stalking....what the heck is bumbershoot?! By the way, Jasper is reaallyyy handsome!

Dear Mom,

Please, please, please wait for me before doing anything with all those amazing dresses. Pretty please?

Dear Big Bertha,

You've yet to fail me, you know that? Thank you for being the most awesome camera ever. I mean that....from the bottom of my heart. You have never ever, not even once, not brightened my day when I've picked you up.

Dear Little Bird,

It makes me very, very sad that you've landed on our ship. I wish there was some way I could give you water. Unfortunately, things aren't looking too good for you.

Dear Techno-Phobes,

Listen- I'm not a freakin' computer guru. All I know is that you gotta start somewhere. I hate to break it to ya but computers...they're not going anywhere!

Dear Tea Stash,

I was really, really hoping that I'd have you to drink for my whole trip. How am I supposed to mellow out without some Tension Tamer?! How am I supposed to go to sleep without some Sleepy Time?!

Dear Nautie Book Readers,

Have you checked out the Forum for UNBROKEN? It exists, I swear! I haven't heard too much from you all as to whether or not you're enjoying the book! Weeeellll? Yay or Nay?

Dear Nautie Friends,

I hope you all had an absolutely fabulous Labor Day Weekend!
