I enjoyed this little sidetrack. I'm sure y'all will think I'm a nerd. :p
Graduation is this afternoon, at 3. I'll be sure to not wear mascara! :tear: Jenna's very nervous about making her speech, and thus I am nervous for her. But, she's good at things like that (it's too bad she can't sing it...). AH, I'm going to miss her a lot. And Heather. And Jessica. And Jacob. And Michael (sorry, I wish I had time to make you more cookies!). I can't believe they're all leaving!! And next year it will be my brother, Jeri, Austin--everyone!! How disheartening.
God bless,

Victoria: You get an A! For effort...:-p

SHWOAH! since when does "Tim" comment on this here blog? actually I's dropping by to glance into your boring life of proper grammer and SAT prep vocabulary. and I see my name in an ever so odd comment of...well YOU! ha, and what's your hubbys name? I'd like to meet the fellow.
Well, I figured it was either you or Jon...had to pick one.
My hubby's name? Well, when you find out who my hubby is, would you kindly inform me? :blink:
