Susie,
Today was really fun! I woke up and watched tv. Then I took a shower and then made my lunch. Then I watched some more tv. Then my friend Tara came over and we hung out and just talked. I talked about you for the first time without crying. I wanted to but I didn't, I held back the tears. Then we came back to my house and my dad thought he was funny and started cracking jokes. Then he said he was sorry if he scared her away and I assured him that he didn't. Then I watched some more tv. Then when my dad asked what I wanted for dinner we went through this whole thing about saying "I don't know" about 100 times! It was really funny! I started crying because it was so funny! Then I went to Walmart with my mom. Then I started doing laundry so that way I can start packing tomorrow. I am excited for the trip! Well I will talk to you later! Bye! I love you!
