Dear Marilyn,
I think that I should begin this letter by being honest.
I haven’t always liked you. But you knew that, right?
You have taken my husband away from his home for days at a time.
There have been times when you have had him for 10 nights a month.
Way too much.
And between you and your friend Phoenix?
At times you two have had him for weeks at a time, only giving him back for a night or two on the weekend.
You have to admit, you guys kind of sucked.
Until recently.
You know what I’m talking about.
See, when my sister-in-law told us that she was going to get married in Hawaii, my last thought was you.
Why would I think about you?
I was thinking about beautiful beaches, calming waves, and sand in between my toes.
Oh, and the wedding. Ahem. Of course, the wedding.
And then we thought about how in the world we would pay for it. Getting four people to Hawaii wouldn’t be cheap.
And that’s where you came in.
See, when this affair began, I didn’t realize that there would be benefits.
I’m sorry. I probably would have been a little nicer to you if I had realized that.
You outdid yourself, girl.
Because the way you did that? The frequent flyer mile thing?
That was amazing.
Three. free. tickets. to. Hawaii.
I love you, Marilyn.
And I promise to share a little nicer from now on.
XOXO
With much love,
Becca

I think Marilyn and Phoenix are smiling right now. As they should be. And I hope you all have a wonderful time. As for Steve, you are obviously doing one hell of a job being able to keep up with “Two Mistresses”. Most men can’t even handle one. :(
I need a Marilyn in my life!

That is a huge plus. I’m jealous you’re going to Hawaii.

Ok so this girl is WAY jealous. Tell Marilyn to share the love. Well, maybe not. I like J home 99% of the time :).
Take lots of pictures of your trip. I can’t wait to see them and be green with envy.

At least the ‘mistress’ is good for something! I had to go through your previous posts to find out who ‘Marilyn’ was. That is hilarious!
I just found your blog through the comment you left on the Stars and Hearts media. I’m a Phoenix local as well! I hope you have fun in Hawaii.

Nicely done! We have friends that go to Hawaii every other year, 7 of them all paid with FF Miles. It is a fabulous thing if you can do it!
