visit to MN to see Great Grandparents and other family
Great Grandmother passes away
county fair and rodeo
find out "baby" is a girl
cry because dreams of having 2 sons that will be best of friends are broken
cry from shock of dream/hope of having a daughter is reality
"girl" quits moving - work self into hysterics

What a great way to remember the year. You have a good memory. I am wondering if I were to do this, if I could actually remember everything from the beginning of last year. hmmm....yes, I think so. Maybe my brains aren't completely fried...yet.
Enjoyed your post.
By the way, how far away is your brother moving?
