Fun Facts: "16" was quite a year. You had a very heavy AP schedule junior year and I've never seen you work so hard in a class (AP macro econ). You somehow passed that AP exam and I have never seen you so happy. The swim season had some drama between the girls and I hope this year goes smoother. You ended the season on a good note, not with best times but pretty close. You and Kendall got a taste of sales by cold calling businesses around town soliciting donations for the winter formal dance, and while you had minimal success, you learned some good life skills. We took two trips this past year, a college visit to Iowa State in the fall (absolutely gorgeous campus) and a girls trip with Mia over spring break to Seattle. Seattle was so fun and fingers crossed you get in UWash, because that is your first choice (as of now anyway). You had a good season with Orcas and told us that is your last season with the team, which breaks my heart because you still have 2 years left of eligibility and I would love for you to at least finish out one more year. You traveled to your first tropical island (amazing PR trip with the Cook's) and traveled without parents for the first time to Raleigh.
Oh-and how could I forget, you have your DL and drive to school and activities, which has helped me tremendously. I am really proud of how you have budgeted your money over the last year and continue to be responsible in terms of school and getting where you need to be on-time. I'm sorry I keep harassing you about college essays but you need to get those knocked out so you can enjoy senior year.
Happy birthday Julia-we love you! So many great things to come this year.
