LAST SATURDAY MORNING ABOUT 5:30 AM I DECIDED TO GO UP TO WEST HAVEN TO A BOUTIQUE IT OPEN UP AT 10:00 AND I SAW THAT IN PAST BOUTIQUES PEOPLE WHERE WAITING IN LINE I KNEW IT WOULD TAKE A LITTLE OVER A HOUR TO GET THERE PLUS I WAS NOT SURE HOW TO GO, SO I HAD TO WAKE ZAK UP BRIGHT AND EARLY HE IS ALWAYS SO GOOD TO GO WITH ME I LOVE THAT HE LOVES TO GO WE GOT THERE ABOUT 9:20 WE WHERE ABOUT 1OTH IN LINE I WAS GOING TO GET THE CUTE LAMP SHADE WHEN I SAW IT I THOUGHT THAT WOULD MAKE A CUTE HALLOWEEN LAMP. WHEN THEY OPENED THE DOORS THERE WAS ABOUT 150- 200 PEOPLE IN LINE SO WHEN THEY OPENED THE DOORS I WENT LIKE A CRAZY LADY TO TRY AND FIND THE LAMP SHADE, I COULD NOT FIND IT BUT I ASKED SOME ONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS HANGING FOR DECORATION, I ASKED SOME ONE IF I COULD BUY IT BUT THE LADY SAID YOU WOULD NOT WANT IT IT HAS HOLES IN IT, I WAS SO SAD, BUT I FOUND SOME OTHER FUN THINGS. ONE THE WAY HOME I TOOK A WRONG EXIT, AND FOUND A CUTE STORE I FOUND  YES ANOTHER OLD WINDOW, YES I KNOW I AM CRAZY. BUT I LOVED THIS ONE. HAPPY EARLY B- DAY TO ME.

MY SISTER MELANIE IS ON HER WAY WITH THESE BOOKS, I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THEM SINCE THE END OF JUNE, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HARD IT WAS FOR ME TO GET THEM IN I FEEL LIKE SATAN WAS TRYING TO STOP ME,  THE OFFICE IS IN MESQUITE, NEVADA BUT THEY HAVE A OFFICE IN ST GEORGE MY SIS WAS HEADING DOWN THERE FOR THE WEEKEND AND SAID SHE WOULD DROP THEM OFF. I MADE SIX BOOKS TOTAL, ONE OF THEM WE WILL KEEP, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH THOUGHT, AND EMOTIONS WENT INTO THESE BOOK'S. I KNOW THERE IS SO MUCH THAT THE BIRTH FAMILIES HAVE TO GO THROUGH.  IT'S HARD TO PUT 15 YEARS INTO A BOOK, BUT I HOPE THAT THOSE BIRTH FAMILIES WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A BIG BROTHER WAITING WHO ASKS ME EVERY DAY WHEN HIS SISTER IS COMING, HE EVEN SENDS HER BALLOONS UP TO HEAVEN.
