Hi everyone!  It was a great year this year.  Even though there were a few tough times here and there, I got through it and I had a lot of fun along the way.  My whole life, I've wanted a puppy, and finally, in January of 1999, my wish came true!  A German Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, Lab mix puppy crawled into my lap at the Helen Woodward Animal Shelter.  It was love at first sight!  I have had fun with Jessie ever since!  (Even though she isn't the nicest when it comes to flower beds.) Also this year, I loved going to Chicago and spending the night at Kara and Katie's dorm.  Kara is my sister and Katie is her roommate. I think one of my favorite parts of the three night stay was being able to stay up as long as I wanted with all of Kara's friends.  Also while we were there, we went to a store called FAO Schwartz. They had feather boas, tiaras, tutu's, funky handbags, pretty sunglasses, and much more!  So Katie, Kara, and I just had to try on some of those things...it was great.  I had so much fun in Chicago. I would love to go back to Chicago more than any place in the world. (Right now that is!) 
I still love Charlie Brown and Snoopy.  The Snoopy Store and the The Snoopy Web Site are two of my favorite sites!
