We are so happy for you and your family. As far as your soap family, I hope that Nicole get her dream without killing Sam and/or EJ. I would like Nicole to pay for actions, but find happiness elsewhere. And you and EJ reunite as family and be the best couple story on the soapnet because you both make a hot couple. Sam is a real person and Nicole is a gold-digger bitch. To a better year for Sam and as to your real family as well.
