IRTYC: For my birthday I'm having some girls from Church over and 2 others. All but one girl has to drive 1 hour and 15-30 minutes to get here! Unfortunately, Sami (one of my best friends) can't come. She'd rather dance :-P (Just teasing, Sam). I think I can wait 5 more whole stinkin days for Papa Murpheys, maybe. It sure seems like a long time to wait. :-D

On another note, I have some REALLY bad news. My family is thinking about moving to Alaska. I would hate that. I think I already told you this. But I'd just really like to stress the fact that I don't want to move any further from Maryville!   I'll tell you how much I don't want to move away: Last night I was in the bathroom and I could hear my Mom talking on the phone with my aunt Jess who is in AK trying to get us to move up there and I was listening to all that mom was saying and I thought about all of the people I would miss and finally I just started crying. No one saw me because I was in the bathroom, so it was ok. And you know that I hardly ever cry. This is a really big deal to me.

Well, if we do move, I know that it's all apart of God's plan. And I know that ALL things work together for good (Romans 8:28). So I shouldn't be so upset, worried, etc.

I love you sooooooooo much. Hopefully we can' come visit you soon!
