Building A Home And A Family

Dear Diary,

We've bought a lot of land, and started construction of our new home. We want it to be big, of course, so there's plenty of room for all the kids we're going to have, but we'll have to start a little smaller and add to it later on. Mark insists that we make room for a big master bedroom, though, and I'm not going to argue with that! We're adding a room for Nicole off the kitchen, since she's going to stay with us until she and Connor straighten out their relationship one way or the other. Mark says we can always make it a library later, or a room for the kids, but for now, it's Nicole's territory.

More later - I have to go job hunting.

Love, Grace

Dear Diary,

Mark and I are married! It was the most beautiful ceremony, and we had a great wedding party! My mom was there, of course, and made a wonderful speech. Mark's brothers were there too, and Byron, since he was more like a brother to me than a cousin when we were growing up - but of course you know that already. Nicole made a toast, too, about how grateful she was that we were letting her stay here while she sorted her life out, and how we were the best friends anyone could have. It was all so touching, I could barely stop myself from crying!

Then we went on our honeymoon, and any thought of tears went right out the window. That's all I'm going to say about that!

Love, Grace - aka Mrs Mark Lawrence!


Dear Diary,

Mark and I decided that we're financially stable enough to start on our family now. Mark left the military to become a doctor, and my job as an Ecological Guru pays very well. Since he wants at least six kids, we'd better get to work on that as soon as possible! In fact, I think I may be pregnant already...

Love, Grace


Dear Diary,

I'm so upset I can barely write! Something terrible has happened - Mark has been abducted by aliens! Why was he stupid enough to go out stargazing when he knows perfectly well what has been going on all around Prosperity? Even my stepfather! Didn't he listen when I told him that? No, no, I have to calm down, it's not good for the baby... Oh goodness, I think that was a contraction!


Later...

Well, the aliens did return my husband, but he missed the birth of our son. We're calling him Zachariah, in memory of Mark's grandfather Zedekiah. Isn't he perfect?

Love, Grace


Dear Diary,

Mark says he's been feeling nauseous a lot lately. I wonder...

Love, Grace
