you missed a good party, Dave.

Rachel's surprise party was pretty, the only thing that was missing was Y-O-U! I sure hope you're doing well while your galavanting across the world (Dallas, whatever). I think architecture is a super cool thing for you to do with your life. At least you aren't doing something lame like education. I think that'd be just awful!

So, I'm officially a nursing major at Belmont. I would not be surprised if that changed. But hey, I can change if I want. But right now, I'm going to be a nurse and help people.

At Rachel's party we watched a lot of youtube videos. Ask Natalie to show you the one about the lion and man reuniting. It's HILARIOUS. Seriously has the best message ever. It's a heart wrenching story about man and beast. It moved me to tears.

What else is new with me? Hmm.... mother's moving to Nashville in a few weeks. She says she'll be home every other week. Something just doesn't seem right about a mom leaving her daughter and living somewhere else. But I don't admit that too easily. Dad's going to Pakistan in October for a year. I'm faced with a lot of distance lately.

Punch Brothers next weekend and I'm soooo excited. Consider going to the second weekend of Jazz Fest with me. Please and thank you.

I'm still not use to you being away, so this is the best smile I can make.

Come home.
