Dear journal, it has been three months since I have seen Dad, Darcey (My amazing stepmom), and her kids, my awesome twin step siblings, Dana and Dylan. Just like me, they are sixteen years old. In fact, our birthdays are one week apart. While I was born on January 1st, Dana and Dylan were born on Christmas day. I am so excited about seeing them tomorrow Speaking of tomorrow, I am so excited about it that I can barely stand it Tomorrow at 7 AM, I will be boarding a plane that will be departing Los Angeles, California and heading to Orlando, Florida. Of course I will miss my amazing Mom, but I am looking forward to getting out of LA for the summer. After all, it is always nice to get away for a little while, and be in a different surrounding.

Before long, people started to stare at us and whisper. I even heard some of the people say "That's Leigh Jacobs". During the course of our lunch, a total of about ten people or so came up to our table asking if we were the cast of "Together". Some even asked for autographs and pictures from us. Gladly, we obliged. Even though I had wished that my luncheon could have gone uninterrupted, it felt good to be recognized.

Dear God, Thank you so much for being there for me always. Thanks to You and the doctors, I will be getting to leave this place in just two days. I am so excited that I can hardly wait In Your Name, Amen

Dear Journal, today is my sixteenth birthday. While most kids wish for cars or big parties for their Sweet Sixteen, I wish for other things. Wish one: I wish my father were home from serving in Iraq. Wish two: I wish my movie star best guy friend, Jason, could be here with me on my special day. Finally, here is wish number three: I wish that I was cancer free and could be released from the hospital.-Jessa Taylor

Dear Journal, Today is the day that I graduate from high school. I have waited a long time for this day to come. Today, I will be walking across the stage with the two hundred and ninety-nine other students that make up Kellwood High School's Senior Class and receive my diploma. I am so excited that I can hardly wait

Dear Journal, What a week it has been at Lake Blue Ridge Christian Camp First off, my best friends, Erin, Katy, Geri Lynne and myself were placed in a cabin with four other amazing girls Their names are Brooke, Taylor, Anna, and Lindsay. Our counselor is amazing, too Her name is Heather and just like my best friends and me, she is from Denver. Second, I have made many friends from other states and churches. Some of the friends that I have made, however, live in Denver. Some even go to Jameson Ridge High School like my best friends and I do One cute friend that I have made sticks out in my mind. His name is Michael, and like my besties and myself, is going to be a Junior. With all of the friends that I have made and all of the fun and educational activities coming my way, this summer just may turn out to be one of the best ones that I have ever had
