Wow, I almost forgot about this thing! A bunch of things have happened since I last wrote this summer, some good, some bad. My uncel Fred passed away recently, and he was truly the only grandfather I knew, even if we really weren't related, so I'll definately be spending quite a bit of time with my Aunt Dollie. I'm so glad I know he's in heaven though, it seems to make things easier, and I tend to just remember him whenever I listen to Frank Sinatra or something....lol he was such a classy man, and always enjoyed the finer things in life, an he especially loved it when I would dress up.

On a lighter note, I'm getting my first car at the end of the month, a new black Honda Accord with tan interior, so it's basically my Christmas, kwanza, birthday, president's day, etc. gifts for the next five years...haha! Things have been tough in school, but my hard work has been paying off, like Homecoming Queen, Junior Court Queen, All-East, All-State, Beta, and all that good college application stuff... lol Seeing that the work pays off, makes me want to keep on doing my best, even when it's hard.

Well we're getting ready for thanksgiving, and aside from my family, we have 4 Korean students from King spending Thanksgiving with us, so that should be really exciting!!

Much love to everybody!
