"My mom said to get you roses, but I thought about it and decided to get you a gelato gift certificate instead. Happy Birthday!"
That's what some BOY told my sister when he brought her a gift for her twelfth birthday the other day. Man, its a good thing said boy didn't bring her roses, I think I would have cried! I mean, I'm 16 next Saturday and I haven't gotten roses from a guy! What a sophisticated 12 Rachel is becoming. I love that girl.

Seattle was fabulous! Logos rented out the entire restaruant in the Space Needle! The whole thing. My dad was like, Enjoy it, it won't happen again. Yeah, well, it was a pretty sweet trip.
