Rebecca also surprised me by sending 16 birthday cards over the computer and by singing (along with Emma and Claire) happy birthday to me in a very special way...check out her blog. It's great!
Something else to treasure is the card Allison and Matt sent me. Of course, they had to send one that was completely in Spanish....and as they said in the card, "We knew you might be lonely on your birthday, so we thought we'd give you something to do...TRANSLATE!" And boy, did I enjoy translating it. To a person who has taken Spanish, I knew by the fourth word that this was going to be an enjoyable card to read. I thought I might share the message with all of you.
Today you turn fifteen; an age that is always anticipated with a lot of excitement. To imagine you dressed as a princess, with your radiant smile and shining, cheerful eyes, a deep pride touches me. What can I tell you today that will help you tomorrow? To begin, never forget that you have a beautiful spirit. Surround yourself with everything that is positive. Values, good friendships, and your family you should guard very near your heart. But in all, as you turn fifteen, remember how very much we love you.
So, thank you, Matt and Allison (and Nathan) for that beautiful card for my special fifteenth birthday. :)

Yeah, sorry. As you can tell, neither Matt nor I took Spanish classes.
