Just re-newed my $5. Hadn't been around since 3/06. I was looking for a picture of a mini kit and google sent me here. I'd forgotten all about this site. Anyway, since 2006 I've become an empty nester and loving it. My hubby and I relocated to NJ. Left the kids in NC. HaHa. DH thinks I shoud get a real job since I have no more young'uns. But, if I can make $1000 a month from PC, I won't need to. It's a bit rough getting started in a new place, but I'm getting there. No relatives or friends in NJ. Moved here in June, 1 party in July, 2 in August, 1 scheduled so far in Sept. I've been in PC 8 years, just finished KS #396. I'm not sure what I am anymore. I was a Director, but I think I'm a TL now. Too busy with my move to follow all my changes. Anybody here?

My baby boy drove up from Dallas and surprised us with a visit.

I've decided that I love having an empty nest. I miss my baby boy, but I'm enjoying the freedom of having the house just our ourselves.

My son took possession of his very first all-his car. He's really excited. It's a 2008 Cobalt.

The last of the apron strings has been cut. Our baby boy is no longer on our cell phone plan. That was the last of the financial help he was accepting from us. Even that only went on as long as it did because it would have cost us a fortune to amend the contract.

I'm so proud of him. He's a very responsible 22 year old.

I raised a wonderful man. I asked him last week to keep my friend in prayer as she's beginning to lose her battle with cancer. He called me yesterday just to make sure I'm doing okay and to make me laugh. What a man.

That's wonderful. My baby boy was home for a few weeks. He spend several days of that with us. He's back down in Dallas now.

My kids did trickle in. The 2 younger ones were here for Christmas.. Then my daughter and her family were here for the weekend and dropped off my grandson for 5 whole days!! I was happy. I had him for new years eve too!! Very enjoyable.

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to all!
