January 5 & 11, 1998

Hey Kristi,
I am tired. The holidays have already come and gone. Christmas was great. I got a CD player to go with the 25 CD’s I already have! I spent New Year ’s Eve at Dawn’s house. It was fun.

I also cut my hair that day. It is now shorter than shoulder length! I don’t know if I like it yet… Last Friday I went to the mall with Dawn and Melissa and we got our pictures taken so you can decide for yourself how it looks! ...Kinda …I guess not. Anyway, … it’s almost time for our birthdays!

Did I already tell you that Dawn’s birthday is just one day later than mine? We are about 32 hours and 36 minutes apart! Cool huh? We were supposed to be planning a party together today… but she got excited and planned it without me. She wants to go ice skating and I guess she already reserved a rink. Oh well, she’s having fun! I just had my heart set on getting some CD’s and a watch (they were to be my reward for doing well all year) but now the money goes to paying for a rink.

I’m 15 now, Kristi! I’ve had my birthday!

Zach, Ben, Jessica, and I went to the mall all day. We were there from about 11:00am – 5:30pm. I got a beautiful new $80 dress on clearance for $30! Cool, huh? I love it! I wore it today to my cousin’s homecoming.

I also got a Spice Girls CD, Chumbawamba cassette tape and a Backstreet Boys CD.
(I’m listening to the Backstreet Boys now!) We also saw Mr. Bean (movie). It was sooooooo dumb.

Dawn and I had our party on Friday. It turned out good. It was fun! The girls enjoyed it. 18 of 32 friends showed up.

I have to go back to school tomorrow. One more week to get my grades raised to a 4.0before everything needs to be turned in for report cards!
Love, Melonie
