The whole mess with the stalker nonsense is finally over, and I'm so relieved that we don't need to worry about that anymore. I hate how it ended, but there's nothing we can do about that now. It's time to move on from it. We have lots of adventures ahead of us to concentrate on instead. Meeting Abby's family was a fun one, I loved that adventure so much. Now we're headed for Belgium, and I'm pretty excited about it. Ten days of road-trips sounds like it should be scary for me, but I'm really looking forward to it. I'm not quite sure why, but road-tripping in a bus doesn't scare me like ...

So many adventures, so little time. Our next adventure is Tina and Brett's wedding. I'm so excited about that. Brett is so perfect for her, and I couldn't be happier for my friend. Tina deserves the best, and I couldn't be happier that she found exactly that. Beating my fear of California is happening after the wedding, and hopefully I'll find some more memories there. I really hope it works, and I don't find any more scary memories that no one knows about. They all insist that there aren't any more, but what if they just don't know about them? It's likely just an irrational fear, but it ...

Part of going on adventures is finding places that you don't like. India definitely fell into that category for us, but that's okay. We had fun in spite of all the reasons we didn't like it there. I'm glad we went, but one thing is for sure, we won't be going back there. I'm very excited for our next adventure, we're going to Australia. I've always wanted to see Australia, it's going to be so much fun. Kangaroos and wombats, wallabies and koalas, I can hardly wait to see all the adorable animals that Australia is known for. However, I'm very nervous about the end of the trip. Poking myself ...

I’m Stormy Morning, and yes that is my real name. Out of my siblings I got the worst name. It’s fitting, I did roll in like a storm and shook things up quite a lot, especially in my teen years. Okay, so yeah, I messed up some during that time. Quite a lot, actually. No, I didn’t kill anyone or do anything that serious. But I did mess up enough to lose my family’s respect and trust. I have regrets, but I redeemed myself. I fixed it and I’m never going back there. Now I’m reliable and also fun to be around. That was the problem, I had the fun part down but lost the reliable aspect...

I’m Ross Kelly, one of Stormy’s closest friends. Tucker and Callum are the other two in our group. We all grew up here in Gusty Rock and the four of us have always been friends. The guys are like brothers, but they don’t really know my family life. They think they do, and they know most of it. But there are secrets they aren’t aware of. That no one’s aware of with one exception, my little sister, Shelby. My parents knew once upon a time, but they’re both dead now. I miss Mom, but not Dad. He doesn’t deserve being missed. The secrets have to do with that, but I’m not getting ...

I’m Brielle Evans, I’m Rainy Morning’s best friend. She’s Rainy Riley now that she’s married to Conner Riley, but I’ll always think of her as Rainy Morning. I’ve known Rainy all my life. Our moms are friends and were pregnant with us at the same time. She was born less than two weeks before me and our moms decided that one combined party was easier than two separate parties that close together. So Rainy and I had many twins birthday parties growing up. It was fine, I didn’t mind sharing with my bestie. I just have one sister and we were raised by a single mom. She would ...

She's been brought to Idaho to be matched, and everyone's waiting to find out who it will be to. He's disappointed when it's not immediately revealed that he's the one. Why doesn't Willow declare they're a match? Will she? Is it because they're not that right for each other? Will they fail because of it? Then when her brother starts causing problems, does that ruin everything they'd gotten started?

Hi, I’m Rainy Morning. Yup, that’s my real name. I used to hate it a lot more, but I’ve given up caring. It is what it is, and someday I’ll get married. Then my last name will change and it won’t be so horrendous anymore. At least I’m not alone in my misery. My brothers, Stormy and Sunny, are in the same boat as me. Our lucky sister, Windy, is now Windy Monroe. It gives me hope, if not a bit of jealousy. I’m the third of four kids, Stormy’s my only younger sibling. The four of us bought a duplex together and opened a sweet shop together. We were all super close and did ...

I’m Emmy Brittle and I’m one of Rainy’s best friends. Brielle’s our other bestie. I’m the new member of the group since they’ve been besties since they were born and I joined them in the fourth grade. I was placed in their group with a guy named Hank Martin. They apparently hate Hank because he terrorized Rainy the year before. He always seemed like a really sweet guy to me, but they were adamant that I needed to stay far away from him. They made it their mission to protect me from him. I never did understand why, but I went along with it. Hank disappeared from town right after ...

Iceland was so awesome, we're definitely repeating that trip. I loved it so much. That place is so amazing. Then I beat my fear of driving to LA, which was a huge accomplishment. I can hardly believe that actually happened. I'm winning, and it feels so good. Now I have more memories to find, and I'm very determined to find them. We're sticking around Bakersfield and exploring more places I spent time as a kid. Then we're going to the church my parents brought me to, and I'm really hope that I find lots of memories there. I have some work to do in Texas after our trip with the group, and I'm...

The UK and Germany were so much fun. I loved meeting Livy and Mary so much. Seeing Dimitri and Ian again was fun as well. The next month is going to be so busy, but it's also going to be amazing in so many ways. My most favorite is my brother getting married. Cam and Jenny are so perfect together. I can't wait to officiate their wedding. I'm so excited to find out what Darcy and David are having. For Patricia's sake, I'm really hoping it's a girl. But for Samantha's sake, I'm really hoping it's a boy. I loved having an older boy cousin, and I want the same for my daughter. Either way, we're...

She did it, she's made all her career goals. Now it's time to find a husband, finally. The matchmaker worked for her bestie, it'll work for her, too. Right? He's so tired of dating, he could just scream. how many girlfriends will it take to finally find the one that'll stick? There's got to be a better way. Maybe a matchmaker will do the trick, it's worth a try at least. But when things get scary, will he stick it out or run scared?

She's got to get away from here, far away. She loves her daddy, but just can't handle her father's views on women a minute longer. She's following her sister's example and calling the matchmaker. Hopefully her match will live far away from here. He's searched the islands for a wife, and none of them feel right. He's tired of looking, and turns to a matchmaker. Hopefully she'll find him the perfect match to create an ohana with. Ohana is everything, and he needs the perfect bride to help him start his.

They fight like cats and dogs, when they aren't totally avoiding each other. She's waiting for her perfect match, and he's not eligible since he's not one of Willow's clients. But Willow's on the way, he can change that status. But is it too late? She hates him at this point. How could this ever work, even if Willow did agree that they were a match? Could she ever forgive him?

I'm finally seizure free! Italy was so fun, not having to worry about having a seizure. My birthday was such a great day to discover that my new meds were completely controlling them. Speaking of my birthday, my sweet man made that so incredibly special. Now I have the problem of being recognized to deal with. I really hope Abby's article fixes that mess. She still hasn't told me if she was able to sell it yet. I hope the media listens to her insistence to leave me alone. You would think that they will, knowing that it'll cause me health problems. I have to say, I'm incredibly nervous. But ...

I’m Nina Hastings, and I’m Windy Morning’s best friend. Andy’s our other bestie, he’s the absolute sweetest guy ever. I was partnered with Andy for a project back in fourth grade when Andy first moved here. Windy and I adopted him right away and the three of us have been inseparable ever since. I work at an investment firm as the VP of sales. It’s a stressful job, but I worked hard to get where I am. I love my job and wouldn’t give it up for anything. I have a great team and I’m pretty proud of them. I don’t have a boyfriend, even though most everyone assumes that Andy and...
