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:

Thank you! My husband and I was in the dark for a long time wondering if he would actually be able to succeed on his own. It took a while but he has really matured. Of course he is a late bloomer though. Trying the independence didn't come until he was going on 19 and kids normally try that stretch in their early teens.

Yep I remember you very well Mary Ann. We even did the Christmas card exchange that one year too. Remember that? Thanks for remembering me, it is nice to be remembered :-)

For some reason I didn't realize our kids were about the same age though. Our youngest is 14 will be 15 June 2nd and I have boys and you have girls.

Your daughter started the boyfriend stage earlier than my son did the girlfriend stage. This is his first girlfriend and actually had a little help with her mother saying that he could ask her out if he was interested. Her mother works with my son and I guess thought a lot of my son for her to say that.

We had graduation yesterday and I will be posting graduation pictures. It was a great turn out for the party. I am glad that part is over now we have birthdays with Jimmy's next Tuesday the 29th (19 years old) and youngest June 2nd (15). My husband thought we could relax after the graduation...LOL.

I believe you can email me from the profile. Do you have messenger or anything? Email and messenger is best way to get a hold of me.

Take care Mary Ann-

Linda

CANDES!!!!!!!!!!!! How ya doing girl? I didn't recognize you with the different screen name. I miss the good ole days.

The party went great too! It was a beautiful day.

That is sweet you printed it out. I am getting ready to post his graduation pictures too so you might want to print on of those out too. I am so proud I am busting at the seams.

Where have I been? Over worked, I am thinking of taking a vacation in June since I am really getting burned out lately.

Darn I can't figure it out but I can't find you on my yahoo list now. Renee still comes up when she is on but I can't figure out where you went. I NEVER delete anyone. I have had this ID since the later part of the 90's and I still have people on there from when I first got the ID. Can you re-add me? I rarely have time to chat but will respond when I get the message.

I still have the same email too.

He sure did grow up handsome. I am biased. :-) DH says he looks just like his dad. :-)

You are much better at checking back here than I am. I used to be faithful checking daily. It is nice to come back and see how it has grown, but I don't know a lot of people anymore.
