I was out with my family tonight. Matt and I took the kids to see Night at the Museum. Pretty awesome movie. I really enjoyed it and so did the kids. Well, Kekoa and Ka'iwa did, Kalena fell asleep right after the opening credits. I think that had something to do with the fact that we weren't watching "Charlotte's Web." Well like I said we all really enjoyed the movie and came home on a pretty big high and then.....

As Matt and I were making dinner for the kids a story on the Channel 4 news came on about a Christmas Eve Bride who died on her wedding night. I saw the picture and thought the face was familiar and then when they had a comment by her mom I realized who it was... Her name is Jennifer Bennet Goodall. I knew her as 'Jen-Ben'. I met her in one of the darkest times of my life. I met her in rehab. Jen was a true example of me of true grit. I had seen her live a sober life and make it look appealing. Now there is a rule in Life-Line about not getting "clickey" with anybody. I must say that I broke that rule with Jen. She was a dear friend that I am sorry to say I lost touch with when I signed out of Life Line. However I must say that if it weren't for her I don't think I would be in the position of my life today that I am. Jen called me out on my crap when I was being dishonest in treatment. She is the one who called on my crap when I was about to sign out of Life-Line. She looked me straight in the eye and told me I was full of it. I was. Jen was an amazing girl. I am so sorry to hear of her loss. Jen was pretty awesome. She touched my life and I am so much the better for it.

P.S. Sorry for the downer. I promise to write about christmas and how much fun we had in the next day. Cassi-Lou
