Happy Belated Birthday Amanda

Dear Amanda,

I just take the time to let you know how special of a person you are. I am so grateful that Bethany has a best friend like you, because, even though it may seem selfish, I have truly benefited from your friendship. You are one of the most friendly, cheerful, and fun people that I know... You will listen when someone is talking, you smile at almost everyone, and you always seem to be full of life. A young man who was struggling once said, "When life comes rushing at you, out of the darkness, is there someone you can count on?" I truly can say that if and when I will and have been struggling, you will be and were there to help me and talk with me, which I greatly appreciate. On a lighter note, "Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus or walk with you many miles when the limo breaks down." :) ...I know that if ever the car breaks down, (or you get lost :) ), I can count on you to take the bus with me or walk with me, because of your amazing strength ... Please don't get too prideful...Anyways, althougth this is one of the latest birthday notes that you will probably ever get, I just wanted to thank you for being my friend, my sister's friend, my best friend's sister, my counselor, and my sister (in Christ). I love you so much and hope that You, Me, Bethany, and Amy will spend many happy days together in the future... Maybe someday we will all be Babas sitting on the porch, Bethany with a mug of black coffee in hand... Only God knows.... 

Sincerely,

Christina

Johnny Rockets!

The story: Amanda, Bethany, Christina, Amy and the two "Rachel's" from Canada are at Laguna beach. After awhile, everyone starts to get hungry so we decide to go and get some caramel apples. We walk into the caramel apple store and buy two apple pie apples... yum! As we walk out of the store Amy says in a loud voice right in front of the worker, "Oh, I think the ones we made at home were better..." Everyone looked at her and she ran out of the store laughing... :)

Unfortunately, the caramel apples were not enough, so the group of six headed on toward the restaurant Johnny Rockets.While we were waiting for our order, Amy got thirsty so she said to the waitress in a somewhat rude tone, "Can you get us some water?" (<3 u Amy :-P ) the waitress came with our water. Later on, Christina, in the nicest way, said, "Would you please get us some water?"... The waitress came but unfortunately, she was carrying too much and one of the glasses spilled all over the table, immediately, Amy and Christina burst out into laughter.... (I think we were slap happy) and Amanda and Bethany said, "Girls, don't laugh, that's not nice." But we continued to laugh... in an effort to make the waitress feel better Amanda said, "Oh, it's OK the table was dirty anyways!" This made everyone laugh.... and because we were laughing so hard, Amy and I spilled two more glasses of water on the table.

After we were finished with our dinner, and disrupting the entire restaurant, we got up to leave. Because Johnny Rockets was closed, the door was locked.... Rachel: "Are we allowed to get out of here?" Du we are!
