ahh, so beautiful! Ill have to try and do these questions sometime here soon! Thanks for posting them btw!

And quick comment, I can totally relate to you on the whole bf thing. Except mine wasnt Catholic but Baptist. We def messed up in teh past as well, but after we talked and such, its all better now. It was still super hard 4 a long time, but we found that by trying to not be in positions where anything could happen (i.e. together really late at night alone..) it helped a lot. Also by praying. He was a great guy tho and was really strong too. But good luck to you! Ill be praying for you until WYD! Cant wait! Have a lovely week!
