Hey Lil Bro,

I have been reading along with you since mom told me about the site. I'm so happy that you are having this opportunity to go see the states and be in an atmosphere that most people will never see. I can't wait to see you when you come to Everett, WA. I can't see you in Spokane its like 6-8hrs away, but I will make the time to see you in Everett I believe the drive from here in Bellvue is about 30-45 mins. Please get US tickets to go see a game, I know Joshua and Cheyenne would love to go. I miss you too, "Beagle" (BAR-ruff ruff). I know you are busy, so I haven't tried to call you. Please call me if you do get a chance and it doesn't cost you much, or tell me when is the best time to call you. Happy 4th of July! I love the Journals, I don't think you are too "RAW",stop worrying about how people are going to take what you say, you need to be able to express yourself, I think you should be able to write however you feel. Its like you said, if you don't like it, stop reading. These are you're memories. I was astounded the first time i read an entry at how articulate you were. It was definitely a side of you I've never seen before. Very open, caring and sensitive. No offense, but you aren't like that when you normally talk to your family. I understand we are all different when around the people we grew up with. But keep up the entries, I love hearing how you're doing because I worry too ya know.

Have fun in the next city, hope to see you soon.

Lots of Love,

Your Big sis,

Robyn
