Words from Gabi....

Hi.  It's been awhile.  Right now I'm in California.  I had my surgery.  It went well.  Dr. Brent is as nice as ever.  We saw some more of his artwork, and his wife's.  His wife did hers in high school.  It's a huge painting of animals. 
We are staying at the Wild Palms Hotel in Sunnyvale, CA.  I'm talking to mom on Skype right now.  I met a girl named Stephanie at a pig roast party.  She is funny, nice, and she's an actor.  We became BFF's and she used to live in Raleigh and she gave us many good contacts in the Raleigh area.  She said I should be an actor because it would give me self-confidence.  They had a water fight with water guns. 
Your friend,
Gabi

4th of July in Cali

Here is Gabi at her and dad's hotel.  They have cabana coverings over their beds!  :)

This is how Gabi and Dad "rest" and drive Mom crazy!

Gabi and Dad spent time with "Mr. Emmitt" who is family to some friends of ours from Fergus.  Mr. Emmitt drives old fashioned tractors in parades and as a result...Gabi was IN two parades for the holiday!  We are so thankful for Mr. Emmitt and how helpful he has been to our family.
