That Saturday at Six Flags had been fantastic. We laughed a lot about the adventures we had. The girls found it exhilarating and unexpectedly seemed amused by it all. Sunday was fun as well – we were growing together as a family. I was in training all day, but Randy allowed the girls to pick out some new clothes that met his criteria as he promised. I was told he even let them drive the car (as long as they sat properly).

I was now counting the final days from signing the final contract. I was full of conflict about it and had butterflies about making that commitment. I reflected on how much things had changed in just the last week, both the good and the bad. Some of the bad was good and some of the good was certifiably bad in my opinion.
