Subject: Great Saturday morning Everyone!!!!!!

I've been lurking and reading the posts but not answering out loud, *g*, but I'll follow your lead and post to keep this board and the threads of our friendships alive.

This summer of change is coming to a close and I have much to reflect on. The changes have been good. Our eldest DS moved out to Oshawa. He has a job at the airport there while he is working on his commercial pilot's license. He is set up in his own apartment and is enjoying becoming independant. It is truly a good move for him but I do miss him. He is still young. However, he is showing me that I have done a good job in raising him to be a responsible and happy person.
Second son has enjoyed a part time job (finally) this summer and hopes to continue it during the school year. He returns home from football camp today so I guess I can say the season has officially started in our house, lol.
DD-lots of very positive changes for her. She is discovering an inner faith and has met a wonderful group of young people that are showing her just how wonderful she is. She also worked part time at the Build a Bear store and is really enjoying it.
Youngest DS, well, he is not old enough to work so just enjoyed the summer hanging out with friends.
DH is great, working lots, worrying lots, *vbg* but he's good!!!!!
As for me, I finally finished my last two courses for my BScN. I passed both of them, which was a huge relief as I came out of the exams very worried that I hadn't done well. Funny thing about adult learners is that we don't just settle for a pass-we need more than a "C" in our courses but the higher the better. We also don't want a lower mark on our transcripts. That would just take away all the joy of those higher marks, lol. Anyway, I'm finished-will convocate in October (maybe we can squeeze in a visit Viive). I am beginning to look at Master programs at the different universities, but not sure if I'll apply next year or the year after-we'll see.

So, as you can see, life has taken an interesting turn but has brought a lot of excitement with it. It's taken a lot of work to get where we are but it's been worth it.

I hope all of you continue to enjoy the journey!!!!
Hugs!!!!!!!
Keira

[> Keira, I'm so glad to see you here, and thank you for the update on your life. I'm so glad for your oldest son, I know how much he wanted to fly. When it's in you, it's in you 'g' (I live with one like this 'g') I'm not sure if you knew, but since DH retired from the navy, he flies as an airline pilot now... I know we talked about it then, but those two definitely should meet ! Congratulations for your completion of study, it's wonderful... Happy continuation with the Master... Big hugs to you Keira -- Isabelle, 07:57:01 09/05/06 Tue

[> ((((((((Keira))))))))) How time has flown! Congratulations on your amazing successes, both academically and with your kids! It's so hard to believe they're all so old already! I really hope you and I can squeeze in a visit somewhere this fall, so much to catch up on! Will you be here for the One of a Kind Show? Let me know! -- love, Viive, 22:47:18 09/06/06 Wed

[> Oh, Keira!!! I miss you and I owe you a call. Lots and lots of changes here as well. I'll post, too, to help keep the board going. -- Betsy, 16:03:58 09/09/06 Sat

[> It's always amazing for me to hear how normal it is for you guys that the kids go and work and live away from home. That's so un-german.*G* Here we can't get rid of them!*lol* Families stick together and it's rare that a child goes into a different country to study. Must be so hard on your mother-hearts. ;) -- Martina, 07:55:04 09/10/06 Sun
