Ryan talking
Its been almost a week since we left to put the house up for sale. I told my boss that im going to transfer over to the montezuma county police department. He wasnt very happy that i wanted to do this but signed the papers anyway.

Zach talking
I quit my job at the dealership. My plan when we get back is to open my own mechanic shop and fix cars. I haven't had a chance to talk to keirston about it yet but i think she will be ok with it.

Keirston talking
I miss Zach so much. I know Tanner does too she loves her daddy. Ive tried to call Zach several times in the last few days but he hasnt called me back. I know he will be back soon put i cant help but worry.

Abby talking
Hey k you ok? I ask as im holding levi. Wha oh um yeah i just tried Zach again. She says he still hasn't called you back? I ask no i haven't heard from him since he called me telling me they made it. She says.
I know how much she loves Zach and i can tell that the fact that he hasnt called in several days has her worried. Tell her to get ready. Where are we going she asks on a moms night out ill have mom watch all the kids. Tonight we are gonna go have some fun on the town. Ok keirston says what do you have in mind.  Oh i thought about maybe some clubbing like we did back in Chicago when we went to go see brother caleb in Chicago when Jackson was born.

Keirston talking 
Abs you know that wasnt our proudest moment. When brother caleb saw us he knew instantly that we had been drinking. Then he gave us both the "talk " and lectured us on how drinking is a sin and all that. I told her. Then he took the keys to the jeep and made us stay 2 extra days to make sure all the alchohol was out of our system before he let us go home. Abby said. I dont think ive ever seen him so disappointed in us then i did that week. Abby continued to say.
Well who says we have to tell him i mean we are just gonna go out have a few drinks and then go home right? I asked abby. Well um thats not exactly what i had in mind bit sure we can do that.

Abby talking
That night i had planned to show keirston the building i bought to open my dream day care facility. I didnt tell her yet because i wanted it to be a surprise especially since she thought i gave up on that dream in high school. After we leave the bar i tell keirston that she needs to put on a blind fold because i had a surprise for her. She puts it on and i pull up to my building.

This is the building abby will fix up for her new day care business

I tell keirston she can take the blind fold off. She takes it off to see a old looking building with the doors bored up.

Keirston talking
What is this? Abby why are we at a old building? Because this is the new Over the rainbow day care! Abby said.
Ok um abs are you drunk? I only ask because this it a very old building that looks like it could collapse if we barely touch it. No K im not drunk i only got cherry coke when we were at the bar. Dont you remember how we would always talk about having our own private day care one day. How we would watch children while their parents went to work or on dates. Its been my dream ever since and now i get to live it. Ive been saving up to do renovations on the house but now that we are selling it i can use the money from the house to fix this place up and get it running. I already talked to pastor he and some other people from the church are going to help.

A few months later
