  Em...I can't believe your dad didn't call you. That's really surprising. Maybe you should call him to see what's up. I'm glad you liked the candles. It's really hard to find things at Pier 1 from your registery because nothing is really labeled. The ladies at the store couldn't even find things. Maybe Valpo Pier 1 employees are idiots. I completely understand how you feel about not knowing any of your "friends" at your own birthday party. It will get better in time. Sorry to hear about the delay on the house. I know you guys were really excited about it. Karissa...a dog washer? You should time how quickly it takes you to get completely soaked! It might be kinda fun though since you love animals.
Chris...You never answered how much daycare is in Chicago. I wanna know. I wanna redo my answer and say $1300. Nothing new here. Counting down the days until vacation. I have a moral work delima (another one! ) that I need advice on but I'll have to email it from home. So look for that soon.
