Oh, Amy, I love you!

I love you right now, Amy. I mean, I've always loved you, and I always will, but right now, you're especially awesome.
I was in a really bad mood earlier.
I mean, a really bad mood.
And I was praying I could find something to help me get into a better mood, and I had this feeling to go through that one file cabinet with all my old stuff.
And I found letters.
Letter that you had written to me when I was two years old. And that was the answer to my prayers.

Dear Aubrey, It's nothing fancy but I've wanted to start your journal for you. You are almost two. You call Ryan Robbie, Nicole- gaga, Amy- meme. You can point to your nose, eyes, ears, hair, head, fingers, toes, tummy, but your favorite is your eyebrows. When you point to your head, you hit it and say ow. The cutest is when you see something gross you saw "ewww"! You LOVE to play outside and your favorite people are probably Mom, Nicole, and Laura and Thomas Prusso (our next door neighbors). In church you always run to Sister Prusso's lap. You like to say "mea" or "nye" which translated means "mean" and "nice". Sometimes (well actually- all the time) Nicole and I turn on the Disney Classics casette tape and we dance with you. We teach you all kinds of dances like "headbanging", the "cha-cha", the "cabbage patch" and all sorts of things.
You are totally cuddly and love to give hugs and kisses and you never leave anyone out. When someone comes home, you run to them with your arms outstretched to give that person a huge hug. You've cheered me up so many times. I always call you "Babe" or "Babes". You're so much fun. I don't know what we would do without you. I'm so sad that I'll be going away to college when your only 4 or 5. I won't get to see you grow up. But I'll leave his for you to read so you know how much I love you.
Love,
Amy

What an amazing sister you are! You and Nicole and Andrea are amazing influences to me. I feel bad for those girls without older sisters. :) They're missing out BIG TIME.
There are two other letters, and I might type them up when I get time, but now I have to go.

DISNEYLAND. Stupid guys. 3rd Trimester.

Yes, folks! I went to Disneyland two weekends ago! It was AMAZING.I went on all the big rides. Even Space Moutain. And I loved them all. EXCEPT Space Mountain. :) I'm now a Disneyland-aholic.I loveloveloveloved Splash Mountain and Indiana Jones. We went on Splash Mountain seven times in a row- ten in one day- thirteen times the whole trip! Woo!
We went for a choir competition. We one Silver by a point! Grr! All the other groups got gold. But we did pretty well, especially for a Concert Choir. G (the choir teacher) was so proud of us. I love that man! :) He went on Pirates of the Caribbean with me and we sang our pirate song that we learned in choir.
Oh by the way, here are the links to our performances! (Not the ones in Disneyland, but our Winter Concert.)

Of course, there was drama on the trip. A guy named Kyle being really perverted to me on the last day at Disneyland. However, through a course of crazy, confusing events, he got kicked out of choir and I never have to deal with him again! I see him around campus sometimes, but I never have to talk to him. And he's a senior, so he'll graduate next year. Phew.

The day after we got home from the happiest place on earth, we started a new trimester! My classes are boring, especially my first two, Geometry and Bio. Health is fun though. All you do is talk about yourself. :) And choir is good. For the first week after Disneyland, I kept thinking Kyle was going to come back, so I couldn't enjoy the time, but last Monday it was confirmed that he got kicked out of the class. Since then, it's been great. We're singing a song by STYX called Come Sail Away, and a song from one of the best musicals EVER, Urinetown!

I'm lucky. I have friends in all my classes. One of my very very very best friends at LHS, Cassandra Hiner, is in two of my classes. And, all my teachers are good, except for Mrs. Haugen. But you know, it's alright. She's just boring.

And that's the lowndown of my life right now. It's basically good right now. Lot's of fun with friends. Peter Nyholm and I have a war going on right now. So with that and all the ther crazy stuff me and my friends do, I think I'l be looking back at Freshmen year fondly...

Though I guess I can't say anything yet. There's still two and a half months or so...
