well mom talked to dad to bring him up to date, not totally but a breif rundown and showed him one pic of me from my myspace page. he said that he loved me (rare to hear those words from him to me), to be careful outside and that i look like a pretty woman. i actually had to hang up the phone and hide ( i was at work) i was crying so hard. i stopped by there house on the way home to mow there yard for them and get a free dinner. when dad came out i gave him a big hug and a thank you. he asked what that was for and i told it was for makeing me feel special and then i cried again. mom told me later that dad was thinking of having julie over for dinner sometime. i'm not going to push julie on him or mom cause this is too important a hurdle to jump to mess it up but it's off to a great start so far.
