20th birthday

I just celebrated my birthday at the beginning of October. Mom and Emily were here, and it was probably the last time I'll be around blood kin on my birthday. I got a lot of neat presents and had great food and experiences. Last weekend I went to Vermont for the first time, and went up to the top of a mountain for the first time that I can recall. (I believe I was at the top of some of the mountains in Washington at one time, but that was before I was even a year old.) School's kind of been blowing lately, but that's because this semester is going faster than I'd really like, given the amount of work I need to get done. I might be declaring a different minor soon, perhaps something in the School of Management.

The big news is here, though. Feel free to freak out.
