Dear Journal, For as long as I can remember, Mom and I have spent the first week of July at our large beach house in Henley Beach, Florida. This year, however, it will not just be Mom and me spending the week at our beach house. Mom's longtime good friend from college, Debbie, and her son, Greyson, will be spending it with us. Even though I am a little nervous about meeting Debbie and Greyson, I am truly excited about meeting and getting to know them! After all, I love meeting new people!-Gabrielle
