My best friend...

My best friend got married last month and yesterday her husband told her he thinks they made a huge mistake and wants a divorce. Basically, he just wants it all to go away as quickly as possible. She offered to go to counseling and he refused to go. He didn't even want her to say goodbye to his kids, but she insisted.

I went with her today to say goodbye to the kids. We met her husband at the cafe that he owns. She was crying, the kids were upset. It was awful. He didn't even speak to her the whole time...

According to my best friend, they never even had a fight. So, I don't know what brought all this on. He said something about feeling pressured to get married. But, he had plenty of opportunities to get out if he had wanted to. Personally, I think he was just using her. She put a lot of money on credit cards helping him out and paying for him to go to a writer's conference. Not to mention the fact that she gave up her job and moved to another state to be with him. Now, he thinks she is just supposed to go away like a bad dream.

Please pray for this couple.

What a Relief!

I am finally finished with all of my finals. I took my last exam last night and turned in my political theory paper this afternoon. It turned out to be 21 pages long, which was 6 pages longer than I had anticipated.

I am completely exhausted, not to mention starving. I haven't eaten all day. I think I am going to meet my friend Debbi for a drink and some dinner. After that, I will probably crash for the rest of the weekend.
