Dear Dimi:

Hope this letter finds you well in college. How are your classes going? Are your professors nice? Did you decide on a major, or are you still undeclared? Are you eating well? We know dorm food is not the greatest, but it's no excuse to pig out on junk food from the vending machines. Do you have enough money? We trust you didn't already max out the credit card your Uncle Christopher gave you.

Did you pledge a sorority as you had planned yet? Please say you didn't go to any wild frat parties during your first week! We don't want anything bad to happen to our sweet girl, you know. We want you to make friends at college, but be careful--there are too many predatory types out there!

Believe it or not, your Uncle Christopher is contemplating marriage to Sandra. He was out looking at engagement rings just yesterday at the jewelry store at the Luxor. Don't spread the word around just yet, as nothing is official--your famous uncle's celebrity makes him a target for the rumor mill, and even a hint of marriage will send the paparazzi after him like a pack of wolves.

Your grandmother is doing well back in New York. She may be coming to LV for the winter--the cold has become too much for her to handle, plus the danger of slipping on the ice could result in a broken hip at her age. If you're lucky, she could come up to see you on campus! Wouldn't that be nice?

Remember, if you need anything, just call. We're here to help you any way we can. No matter what happens, you can always count on your family.

Write back soon. Love ya, sweetie!

Mom and Dad
