Rin,

You should stop by the hallmark store and by the

"XH!!!!!" a thank you card.

All the trials and tribulations that he put you through only helped you.

His short term games cost him long term pain.

Congratulations. Oh and laptops are cheap now if you find them on sale. I got mine for $350 added some memory and I am on my way.

God has ansswered your prayers

Psalm 70 (The Message)

1-3 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side!
Those who are out to get me—
let them fall all over themselves.
Those who relish my downfall—
send them down a blind alley.
Give them a taste of their own medicine,
those gossips off clucking their tongues.

4 Let those on the hunt for you
sing and celebrate.
Let all who love your saving way
say over and over, "God is mighty!"

5 But I've lost it. I'm wasted.
God—quickly, quickly!
Quick to my side, quick to my rescue!
God, don't lose a minute.


Happiness is not having what you want, it's wanting what you have.

The High Road may be the hard road, but it's the most rewarding route. You stayed the course and worked very hard.

Now, you had to know that we were all drumming our fingers waiting to hear some news! WE CARE!!!

My heart is so huge and pull...Wonder if life gets any better than this? LMAO
