Excellent Mikey 
Mrs D. was a novitiate before I met her, but the mother superior felt she was using the convent to hide from life rather than face up to it, and told her to return to the normal world for a couple of years, then come back if she still felt the need.
Somewhat obviously she met me in that time.

McKay, I've met a number of would-be nuns/sisters who were told the same thing -- I think this is probably why so many orders today require women to have at least lived on their own for a few years before joining.
I'm pretty happy with it as it stands as well Sho, but I'm open to more feedback if people have some.

I never thought I'd say this, but I wish we had a 'track changes' feature here like they do in Word. 
But it all looks fine.
