Dear Sam

Did you know...

"Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better."

So I'm posting again because I had a really good day today and because I wanted to share with you my Dhalias!

Here are the gorgeous flowers

There are red ones too, I just need to wait for a sunny day to take more pictures. While I was in Utah my mom was telling me about how I probably missed them and wouldn't get to see any blooms and I was kind of sad about that. And then I got home and they exploded with beautiful brilliance and I just shook my head. Now I know to take what she says with a grain of salt.

I enjoyed eating with you today. And I apologize for rubbing the fact that you denied my offer in your face. That wasn't very civilized. However, I do wish with a good portion of my heart that you had made the decision to come up because it has revolutionized my life and I have so many more opportunities to learn and participate in things and make friends that I otherwise wouldn't have ever gotten to meet.

There is a downside of course. The fact that I don't get to drive until senior year, the fact that I will probably not go to homecoming or prom for real, the fact that people always ask "What?! How does that work?" and always moving up in things like girls camp and Aspen grove things because I want to be with the people that are at my maturity level.

But, nevertheless, I am still grateful for the wonderful people that have come into my life because of this choice and I really wish you had said yes, but I know that it's not all over and that even though Lee and his brother and the school district are being douches, you can't let that get to you. You are just as intelligent, if not more, than they are. You have so much more passion for learning and the specific subjects and, you have social skills. So even though you are at the wrong end of a gross injustice, take comfort in the fact that you know they are wrong.

Anyways. I told you why I had a good day, so I don't think I need to rehash it except to say that it makes me feel peacfully happy inside instead of giddy happy. And I like the peace more because it is more stable and lasts longer. I just hope that we can be friends.

Hope you have a good night. Text or call me or something because I knew that we had talked about that at some point...
Love,

Jess
