Nearing the end...
April 30, 2008
Hello Everyone,
I can't believe that we're almost done with the semester and summer is coming up quickly. I've been working really hard to end on a positive note with my classes and am eagerly anticipating the pay off of going home. I'll be completing two summer school classes before spending two months in Washington with my parents. It's our goal to have my grandparents moved by that time. I will also have the opportunity to spend a week or two at my other home in Bend. I hope to visit the summit of Mt. Bachelor, shop downtown at the Old Mill, go for a stroll in Drake Park and maybe catch a game of ultimate.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful summer break, have fun, stay safe and I'll look forward to seeing everyone next year.
