Thank you so much CHeri!! I will get it promise!! You are making it easier with the explanation. I did take Spanish YEARS ago so that helps. Just not when it looks like it all runs together!! I was going to ask if godparents had to be married to each other. I'm just guessing that it isn't always the case. Thank you for addressing that for me!
