The time came where we had to pay and leave. We got the bill and immediately put the money needed in the middle, dividing it equally among the 5 people. However, we still needed to tip. We had decided to…

I considered it for a while, finally deciding I simply must call her. If the MiBs aren't already watching her it won't matter…

He is the son of the headmaster and I feel as though I am already making connections to the top. He is quite a dull man, though, and I have perhaps thought to call him Henry Dully as it seems more appropriate for his character. The school is only eleven miles due northwest from town which means on my days off I can…

    Prenatal Development The day I found out that I was pregnant was a day of unmatchable joy for both my husband and I. Our joy was continued throughout the pregnancy until the doctor had offered us possible test to see if the baby had any problems.
