1. Congratulations on your graduation! You look beautiful in your dress. I think you made smart purchases with your graduation money.
2. Yayyy! 25 years is NOTHING to sneeze at! It is awesome that your parents have been with each other for so long.
3. $80 is a good chunk of money for 2 days of babysitting a week. I remember a similar job I had in 8th-9th grade, but it was 5 days a week for $20. Completely not worth it. I gave up the job when the kids spilled mustard on the carpet and lied to their parents saying I did it.
4. Have fun at camp! Have you ever read Dilly's Summer Camp Diary? It's a picture book, of a journal a girl kept at camp. She's younger than you are, but it really is inspiring to make you want to keep a journal when you're away. You should look for it. Especially since you're such a good reader...and an interesting writer, as well!

[align=left]5. I will keep you in my thoughts as you start public school. I switched from Catholic school to public school when I entered 6th grade. I did enjoy not having to wear uniforms anymore. It did seem much much bigger. I found a nice friend right away though, and it turned out to be a really good thing. It's good that your cousins are going with you.
6. My son is entering 7th grade this year and will be playing soccer for his school team. I hope you enjoy the team and make many friends at your school that way!
Great journal, keep it up! (add more bunny photos we all love those!)
