10dp5dt

Today I went and saw the movie "The Help" with my mom and my aunt. It was so good! Definitely did the book justice in my opinion. Quite the tear jerker. Not that we need anything else to bring on tears, right? :) But I highly recommend going to see it!

Tomorrow is beta day. HFS.

If anyone could be so kind to throw up some extra prayers for us, we would greatly appreciate it!!! :)

Haven't tested at home. I know some of you are proud and some of you are like "she must have a chemical imbalance." :)

Hoping to share some good news tomorrow evening....
