My last entry……

 

 OD, this is the last time I approach you as a single female.  Over the last 3 years you have witnessed so many different changes in my life………some good, some bad.  We’ve bonded and Ive shared deep secrets with you.  And now life is taking me in yet another new direction for you to witness.  I am not the same person I was when I started this diary 3 years ago, nor will I ever be that person again.  Thank you OD, thank you for always being here, a place to vent and share my struggles and adventures.  This journey has ended but another great one is just beginning.  When I return, I will be Mrs. Stephen H. Jr………..this journey is sure to be a happy and exciting one.
