Kristi-
Guess what! The last 3 days I have been trying out for Spirit Club! (They are like “lesser” cheerleaders I guess…) I made it! Next year I will try for Cheerleader! I’m really excited!

Also, we have to go to court because of my grandpa. I’m scared. I have to go to counseling every Thursday. I wish I could just forget about all this. I want things to go back to the way they were.

Hey Kristi,
How are you? I’m doing okay. I have a lot to tell you… I will try to begin where I left off. On Saturday, May…

June 9, 1998

Well, I didn’t get very far last time did I? I told you I don’t like to write much… I got bored and started doodling rather than filling you in on my “exciting” life! Anyway, as I said before, I have a lot to tell you.
On May 9th I went to the Regional Dance (after I delivered a few pizzas with my dad). The dance was kind of boring; then I had to find a ride back home. I asked Mark and he was riding with some of his friends who were going to Ensign Peak afterward. He asked me to go with them; so I did.

Mark and a couple of girls I recognized were the only ones I knew out of a big van full of people. One of the girls was driving, Mark was “making-out” with some girl in the back seat the whole time, and the last girl is just plain annoying.

There was this really cute guy there, though… Since there was no one else to talk to, I decided I might as well say something to him! He was so sweet and funny… and he has the cutest smile! We talked the whole time and, before the night was over, he told me I am beautiful and that I have a cute smile! I gave him my phone number and he called me the next day; now he’s my boyfriend!
Love, Melonie
