Thank you for flying out my brothers and sister for my Pepperdine graduation.  When BC showed up at my apartment with Tammy I was shocked and so, so excited!  And when Rob and Jon met us out, I couldn't believe it.  It was so awesome that they came out to see where I lived and to celebrate yet another graduation.  It's pretty cool that they were there for my Purdue graduation too.  The picture of all four us up in Malibu is one of my favorites.  Of course, I'm thrilled you two were there too, but that was a given.  I know you'd never miss it.  That truly was one of the best gifts.  lyb

Thank you for putting me in swimming lessons when I was little.  I remember being in the pool and having to dive down to the bottom and pick up a brick and the excitement  I felt getting to move up a class.  Occasionally you would let me get those cherry red balls out of the vending machine afterwards...those could not have been healthy for me!  lyb
