Today is Pi Day. Pi is a number that relates a circle's circumference and area to its diameter. It’s not a holiday most people celebrate but at my high school (Skyline) it was big. There were t-shirts that could be purchased and pi projects presented and contests in math class. If you were in math class at 1:59 then the teachers brought you pie because pi is 3.14159, etc. I only know those six digits of pi but I like the holiday. I ran with a really nerdy group of friends in high school. Since graduation we have gotten together mostly around Christmas and on Pi day. It has good memories for me. And luckily I married another math nerd who also appreciates the celebration. So go eat some pie and measure some diameters and circumferences. Happy Pi Day!
The other celebration is my best friend’s birthday. Jill and I knew each other a little in junior high but really became friends our first year of high school. She was the best friend I always wanted. In high school we were always together. I think there was a permanent place set for me at her dinner table because I was at her house so much. We spent lots of late nights up talking about boys and the future and boys. We had hours and hours of study groups for AP history classes. We had tons of fun times. After high school we moved to BYU together. We lived together for 3 ½ years and had some great times there. She made sure I studied when I needed to and I tried to help her relax when she got uptight. So for all the late night talks and for keeping me on track and for forgiving me when I messed up and for all the ice cream parties and the laughter and just fun friendship and support, thank you Jill! Happy Birthday!
