This was an awesome week-end.  Even though my birthday is not until this coming Thursday we actually celebrated it this past week-end.  Mom and dad surprised me on Thursday by having mom fly to Denver to celebrate my birthday.  It was a HUGE surprise and we all had a great three days together.  It re-energized me to finish off the school year.  For my birthday mom and dad gave me a very nice watch, eye shadow, took me out to eat to my favorite restaurants and lavished me with love and attention. You know, the things every girl wants!

Now dad and I are on the countdown for when we get to see mom again.  I have less than three weeks left of school and then we will be heading back to Aiken.  Please pray for me as I have finals coming up!  I am doing very well in two classes and struggling big time in two others.  I need to complete this first year with a combined GPA of 3.0 to keep my scholarships and stay in school.  It will be close.

My awesome sister Sarah is coming out to visit for three days and to then help with the driving back to South Carolina with dad and I.  She gets out of school a week before me.  Dad and I are very anxious to see her.  It will be great fun to have her in Denver. 

It is going to be 80 degrees here today, but by Wednesday they are predicting snow flurries!!  Gotta love Denver's crazzzy weather!
