ariel's birthday!

This was such a good weekend, not only because of general conference and Easter, but because of Ariel's 19th birthday on Saturday.  We had a birthday celebration/girls night and it was soOoOoOoo much fun!  I hope you had a good birthday, Ariel!  Thanks for everything.  I know we joke about how we survived 18 years without each other, but really, I don't know what my life would be without you.

Other news: School is wrapping up--only 7 days left before finals--and we're all feeling stressed around here.  I've been immersed in writing a paper about Eugene O'Neill's play, "Long Day's Journey Into Night."  Harold Curlman said, "O'Neill not only lived intensely but attempted with perilous honesty to contemplate, absorb and digest the meaning of his life and ours."  Tell me about it!!  I just wish he came to happier conclusions.  I don't believe we're helpless victims.  And I'm trying to find evidence in this play that O'Neill didn't believe that either.  BAH!
