During the summer after kindergarten, I was involved in a reading contest at my local library. The person who read the most books won a prize and got their name in the local paper (it was a small town). Being the avid bookworm that I was, I set about to see how many books I could read.

Today is her 23rd birthday – wow she’s old. ;-) Hey Beth, remember 10 years ago when you had a sleepover party for your 13th birthday and we stayed up all night?

I even saw buds on the tree by my apartment! The sun was shining, it was warm outside, and my hair was curly (a sure sign that warm weather is on its way).
