May 9

Today was Lizzie's birthday. She would have been 20 years old. We have a tradition in my family that when it's one of our birthdays, we go out to eat. The birthday person gets to choose where. Afterwards, we usually head back to my parents house for desert. Tonight was no different except for one thing. Lizzie was not here. After dinner and desert, we each wrote on a balloon and release it. (I know: bad for the environment.)There were purple balloons (her favorite color) and orange (for UT) So, I guess now we have a new tradition.
