Hug
OH MY GOSH!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!! I'm going to be checking the mail a lot! Hehe! I don't even know what to say! Thank you so much for commenting on my journal! I really appreciate the comments on my journals. I'm very happy that you like your angel in the car! I have been trying to pray and talk to God and Jesus more. And the next time I talk to you I have something super to tell you. If we are talking and I forget what it was just remind me by saying "miracle J" and I will remember. I can't wait to talk to you and see your mail! -Love DSD
Hug
Thank you for your kind responce. I now have to stand up to him and say NO! That will be a defining moment in my life. It is very hard for me to do this, but if I give in on this, then he will stomp all over me on everything. My parents back me up, so if we have to go to court, then they will help pay for that.
