Update on son
20
Fri, 05-18-2007 - 10:17pm

Hey all! A lot has been going on in our life. Sunday my son will graduate high school and on the 29th he turns a big 19. We had his graduation staffing and he is set to attend college away from mom. Oh my gosh this is so scary for me, he will probably be glad to get out from underneath me. :-)

I believe I posted that he has a job and even posted his picture with his uniform. He is still working at Taco Bell and still loves to eat the food! :-) For college he is going for computer technology.

Well he has a girlfriend, something I didn't think would ever happen and he went to the prom. I am going to try to post the prom picture link and hopefully it will go through for you all. I am so proud of him, can you tell?? We have had our trials with him wanting to stay at girlfriend's house late up to 1 AM but with her being younger mom has put her foot down and even called a pow wow with girlfriend's mother. Like I always said my screen name isn't mama bear for nothing. I know I have to go let go but his future is so bright I don't want anything to mess it up and he doesn't make great decisions (neither do I for that matter). Okay I am rambling. If you are interested just click the link and I hope it takes you to the pictures. Sunday is graduation and I will try to get the graduation pictures on there too soon. Oh also he received a medal for being honor roll student. :-)

I know many of you wanted me to continue to come back with updates and that it serves as hope for the future for many of you. I am glad to be able to announce the good things that has happened with son. I can't tell you how good it is to see him bloom into the young man. I really had my doubts if he could even live on his own in the future but look at him holding down a job since September (I believe).

Enjoy:

Ahh thanks Renee. Do you still have me on your messengers? I changed the album to public and if you need a password the guess password should be ham

I sure hope you can see it this time.

Hi, I don't know if you remember me but my Aspie dd is now 14. I used to read your posts all the time. You were around w/ Renee & Candes early on... It is good to hear from you & let us know how Jimmy is doing. He is a handsome boy & looks great all dressed for prom. I'm glad to hear he did well in highschool too. My dd is now in highschool & I had lots of fears but she's doing OK & has a boyfriend also. Keep in touch & send the grad photos. My older dd (18) is graduating too. One down & one to go. You must be sooo proud of him! Take Care~ Mary Ann

Oh thank you, I think he is very handsome also. :-) Next is college and I won't be right at hand for that. He will be about 2 hours away but he is going with his best friend and there will be two other boys too and they plan on renting a house and sharing expenses. Hopefully the values we instilled in him will go with him to college.
