Little miracles...

So we're not guilty of being ungrateful...I wanted you to know some of the little miracles that happened this week with regards to Kristin. After a bad day in court, Kristin was referred to a different attorney. The attorney was kind enough to call her back and give her some straight talk. However, on Saturday, Rick's mom came over to watch the UCLA game with us and was able to give us another side of that same attorney that we would never have known, had she not come over. And...she got a client (of that attorney) to call Kristin and discuss her concerns with her. Kristin could have ended up with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt (and I do mean that literally) with nothing to show for it. Elise was also able to give a professional opinion on the evaluator scheduled to do the psych evaluation on Mackenzie. Turns out she's a GOOD one! Elise says she's very hones and truthful which is exactly what we want. Kristin also got the names of a couple other attorneys who she will talk to in the next couple days. Also, she was able to get her case moved to the downtown L.A. courts where she will have a much bigger chance of a FAIR hearing. Although she didn't get the slam dunk she (we) were hoping for, she made some baby steps forward and I think we can all recognize baby steps as blessings. So, keep praying. There are a handful of people who hold Mackenzie and Ktristin's future in their hands...so keep praying!

Oh, and as a side note. I may or may not have slammed the door on a certain *J* when he appeared at mom and dad's front door on Sunday. I think I had butter on my hands or something.
