eh, i ignore that particular hang-up. i'm confirmed, so i have no qualms about having communion whenever. i think the only time i EVER went to confession was during my "first reconcilliation" thinger. haha. it's not as though god wouldn't know what i have done and whether or not i am sorry for it....
:p
it was nice to see the cousins! didn't get the dog though, i couldn't find anyone to go with me and so someone else adopted her. A 9-MONTH COCKAPOO! NO FAIR! *wants*
