May 15, 1999

"I left my city and state of birth this week and we moved to Washington. My mommy and daddy were amazed at how good I was on the trip. I was happy to get lots of sleep and see all of the new things. I got to see my Great Grandma and Granpa Arter this week, along with my Grandma and Grandpa Arter and my Uncle Eric.

"My Grandma Hulet and my Uncle John also came along to help us get our stuff moved. I got to see the ocean for the first time. I enjoyed soaking in all of the new things."
