Sounds so great! You'll pass. I know you will.

*imagines Ari contemplating the Lincoln Memorial and all those other places, and then heading off on a plane to some amazing town, like Boston or San Francisco, maybe?*

This is going to be so good for you.

Can we call you tomorrow? I sooooooo want to speak to you.

By the way, St Patrick's Day is next Friday, not tomorrow, the following one.

Just think, St Patrick's Day 2007 you could maybe be celebrating it with new friends in a new city.

I'm quite over the moon!

*hugs Ari again, can't help it, I'm so happy for you*

Love you too, so much.
