Hey, Y'all!

Hey, guys! It's Sammy! :-D

So, you heard about our day today (or yesterday, I guess... it's 12:30 here. LOL). Not a pretty sight.

One thing mom forgot to put in here, though, is that, while at the HORRID mall today, we found a really pretty dress at Talbot's for my graduation later this May. It's a pink-with-white-polka-dots halter dress that falls just below my knees. So I'm psyched about that.

Umm... let's see... my best friend from the pain program left earlier (the 3rd)to go back to her home in Florida. Let me just tell you, two weeks wasn't enough with Marah.


(Left to right: Caitlin, Marah, Lacey, Sam )

But seriously, she's awesome (so's Lacey). I hope we don't stop talking or whatever because of the distance and the fact that we won't be able to hang out anymore.

Lowdown on the girls (and guy) I've met so far in the program: Allison, 12-- really quiet, and complained a lot *left the end of my first week*. Calvin,17-- nice, kinda quiet, awesome guitar player (swoons, but stops remembering that mom called him hot to his face) really a neat guy.*left when Allison did* Marah, 12-- my best friend of them all. She's really sweet, kind, and funny and supportive *left before this Saturday* Lacey, 13-- she's super-cool. I'm really looking forward to getting to know her. *leaves one week after I do* Caitlin, 9-- not to be mean, but I really don't like her. Whenever something doesn't go her way, she throws a huge fit. Her mom asks us kids to practically babysit her and make sure she brushes her teeth when she's supposed to, and help her fill out her menus so she eats healthier. *leaves when Lacey leaves*. So yeah. That's all the fellow program-goers I've met so far.

One thing I must clear up now: I LOVE MID-WESTERN PEOPLE!! They're great. They're kind. They care. They're pleasent. What more can I say? They're awesome! (No offense to those of you non-mid-western folks-- we love you too. It's just harder to find good people elsewhere.) Everyone I've been around for long periods of times (except for two-- Caitlyn (9 who started a week ago) and Allison (12, who left a week ago)) in Cleveland have been great. :-)


And like Mom said before, the cards, flowers, etc. really cheered us up. I know I needed to re-read them all at one point when I was having a really bad day. It helped to know I've got so many people supporting me. So thanks so much, guys. :-D


Love y'all!
