FINALLY, a {small} sigh of relief!

As most of you already know, we went to court on Tuesday for the sentencing of the drunk driver in Sullivan's accident. Thankfully he was sentenced to 13 years in prison. He MUST serve 85% of the sentence and there is NO parole!! yippee!! Ironically, if he serves the full 11 yrs as sentenced, he will be released the same year Sullivan would have graduated high school. But that's ok, we will be in the press AGAIN because we have set up a scholarship fund for his peers from his pre-school class. Only those 19 kids qualify for the scholarship. We will of course have some sort of criteria they must meet, we're not just going to draw out a name and give them the money. They also will have to assure us how they intend to use the money. We have some time to figure all of this out. ANYWAY...the sentence could have been more, but with the minimum being 1 year, we are satisfied with 13. It's not like this sentence will change anything in our lives. It doesn't change our pain, or the fact that Sullivan is gone, but we do take comfort in knowing that the person responsible for killing Sullivan is locked away for a long time. Sorry to be so harsh, but that's the facts, he did KILL Sullivan. Sullivan never stood a chance. Listening to the defense attorney in court on Tuesday, I never realized we had such an upstanding citizen who lived on Shivers Green Rd. You would not believe how good of a father, husband and son he is. He was such a good father that he spent Father's Day 2005, drinking with his buddies instead of spending time with his family. What a guy!! Is the sarcasm coming through? We dearly appreciate everyone who was there to support us. Sorry we did not get to speak with everyone, but the Solicitor's escorted us back to his office to avoid any contact between us and his family. But thank you so much for your love and support!!

On a different note, I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is A-OK! I had the glucose test, and passed with FLYING colors!! lol I am measuring right on track and the baby's heartrate was 145. Kind of a boring visit, but atleast I know that everything is ok! It's so assuring to hear the sweet beat of my baby's heart. I can't wait to see what the baby will be, and what the baby will look like! Only 16 weeks to go!! YIPPIE!!
