Well, I guess the saga ends.
It seems Ashley will be staying in North Carolina. She says things in school are a little better, she just had to stand up for herself and tell everyone the way it was going to be. "You go girl!"
I talked to her this morning and she seemed a little happier than when I talked to her Tuesday. She said she was so glad to have spent the summer with us and she would like to come & spend next summer with us too. WOW! That girls makes me so happy. I just hope things will continue to go better for her down there.
We are and will continue to miss her, but they will be coming up for christmas and I'll get to see her a little then. But she promises to keep in touch in the mean time. Who knows, maybe all she needed was a little direction and to know there are people who love her and will stand behind her no matter what. Thanks again and again for all your support in all this. Guess it's just me, Mark and the dogs again (not that it's bad or anything ). Everyone have a nice weekend!
