We love you guys and think about you a lot. More than you are aware. That's why we reutinely check your blog, look at your pics and ask about you guys through mutual accouintances. It's pretty stupid that I couldn't suck it up and be real with you guys and have instead treated this whole situation like some sort of high school drama avoiding it and trying to wish it to go away. I'm lame. -d- Sorry…one more thing that is on my heart. We love you guys and think about you a lot. More than you are aware.

Joni and I are still haunted by it but really we don't know what to do. I've tried to stay connected with Kevin with website stuff. But reality is that's not moving as quickly as I had planned. You and Joni have I know made some contacts about garage saleing together. I think what makes it innevitabley bitter is that even though we can get together it's ackward because there was no resolve. It always feels like I am walking on egg shells. And I hate that as much as you. So I don't know what to do... I could fake it and come over and be nice. But it would feel completely fake, which doesn't interest me. What I would rather do is come over lay it all out there, talk about it and get some sort of resolve. Does that mean where going to be best friends? Probably not, does that mean we both can stop mulling over it. Hopefully. You where hurt, and I am sorry for that, I told Kevin that when it all went down. It wasn't my intentions. There was a lot more feeling and considerations to the entire situation then what you have depicted. Lastly "Christian" groups are of course going to skrew up and hurt you, it's a result of real community and friendships. It not a Christian/ non Christian thing. It's a human nature thing. From time to time moms piss us off, dad's piss us off, friends piss us off and Christians piss us off, you know even God will tick you off. I never admitted to being perfect. I crap stuff up all the time. What makes Christians different, me being one of them, is that I recognize my faults/sins. With that said... I am sorry you where hurt. I wish things went differently. I wish I wasn't so scared of uncomfortable situation that I would of dealt with this earlier with you guys. Instead I have avoided it by pulling away from you. I'll speak for Joni and I and say where sorry. We blew this one. -d- P.S. on a much lighter note... Jayden has got one of the cutest smiles I have ever seen. He looks like such a happy kid.
