  1. Hi Naomi!!!! Sounds like you are settling in!!! NO TATTOOS!!!!! I will kill you!!! I like the doggie. Bomp his nose for me. Be careful with the raw foods!!! (Parasites!!!) I love you and miss you so much. Daniel is sending me one of those errish skyp cameras so we can see each other. I read all your notes on Bucket list?? Is that what it’s called. Make sure and e-mail me. I will be praying for you with angel wings!!!!!!! Love Aunt Debbie (dirty)

  2. If you don’t accept and love yourself first, you won’t be as successful in what you want to achieve because you will always feel inadequate. And you are so not inadequate girl!!!

    Do you think of Nappy? He asked me for you.
