Just remembering all the happy holiday Celebrations and missing those times Happy Thanksgiving Love you

So its been 5 years since you left. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that you are all there and I'm here. I have to tell you this, everytime we drive through Worcester I look over at your building and wonder Whos living there now. I know that sound crazy , but we do think crazy things sometimes,right. We miss you guys so much, but we have to get on with it,even though its not easy. I just want you to know that I miss you and love you XOXO Elaine  

Dear Jeanne,  It's been a while since ive wrote, but i am always thinking about you. I'm sure you know that i had a pretty good Freshman year of highschool.  I did a lot of growing and maturing and i figured out what i want to do in life, i found out my strengths and weaknesses. I want to be a JAG officer for the Navy.  I am going to start the NJROTC unit this year at Port Charlootte High, ROTC is a class and a club that is Navy based. So this will really help me it will either guide me in the right  direction or it will show me that i really do not want to be in the navy. After all the years of people telling me i should be a lawyer , and me thinking i should be a lawyer i finally  thought it through and it would be something that i would really enoy to do.  Also , as a freshman i took a college course, Advanced Placement Human Geography. This class was a HUGE struggle for me. Beacuse i dont necessairly like History, or Geography  and of course thats what the class was based off of. But i gave it my all, and i had to take a college level exam at the end and we get scored on a scale of one to five and one and two are  failing but thre four and five are passing, and i recieved a score of a 3.    The APHG class at PCHS scored higher then any other APHG class in the country with an 83% passing rate. We beat Charlotte by 7 percentage points  and globally we were in the highest percentile brackets in all categories. And to add to that, they cut our teacher( my favorite teacher also) beacuse of budget cuts.  So the schoool system made a terrrible mistake beacuse clearly he is a great teacher. And with a 83% passing rate that means only 2 kids in my class failed.    Im starting to study for my permit exam that i can take the day of my birthday. Im so excited.  Oh we have a dog now. About a year ago we had some misfortune and someone broke into our house while we slept and stole the money in my mothers and fathers wallet and the salons bank bag. And its not that we live in a bad nieghborhood we really actually live in a good nieghborhood. But just someone making a bad decision in there life and taking us down with them. But we got a dog, her name is Maggie shes about 75 pounds. Shes a light brownn color. Shes a really pretty dog. She is a mutt, shes part pit, catahoula, kurr  and bull dog. Shes been a great addition to our family.    Yes we miss Massachusetts, in some aspects, but we are not moving back. We want to stay and stick it out here beacuse my mother doesnt want to switch schools for Kaitlin and I again, beacuse both of our parents know that moving isnt fun and that we dont like starting over again and again.   Ive been volunteering at red cross alot, getting my volunteer hours for scholarships and what not. Gotta get that money for college somewhere besides stuent loans beacuse those are giong to be a killing to pay off from law school >:/. Now i just gotta get a job. And Maintain good grades. The older you get the more you take on the more you have to juggle the more  stress but im handling it.   Kaitlin and I were supposed to go to Mass this summmer and visit Grandma Carol and Grandpa Steve and see you and Grandpa Roland and Grandma Marie. But there are some family things going on with my Grandpa Steves side so we decided it was better if we didnt go this summer, but that Grandma Carol and Grandpa Steve save there money and come down here for christmas. Beacuse they would love it down here. They are actually considering moving down here when they retire.    Welll ill keep in touch.  Love and Miss you  -Meaghan
