Dear Diary,

It's official. We're moving to California. Dad said that there will be work there.
I said goodbye to my friends. The most tearful goodbye was the one in which I told Cassie I was leaving. We held each other and cried, and cried.
After my eyes stopped looking like the American flag (they're usually blue, but when I cry, they're red, white, and blue), I gathered up enough courage to tell Isaac. To my surprise, he's moving to California as well. Oh Joy! Oh Happiness! Okay, I've calmed down.

More Later,
Kate.
