Kara told me that I’m being too hard on my mother. And while my mom did welcome us very warmly and was nice, you do have to remember that I went through more than a few years of living with her when she was less than accepting.

Kara bought a new sewing machine. I wanted to get it for her, but she insisted. We looked at gowns in a store and we got some magazines. Kara can sew really well and she wants to make our dresses for the wedding. Yes, I'm calling it what it means to me, which is a wedding.
