Life Update - 6/2013: Mike got married in March and finally moved out of the house. I have a grandson now - the girl Mike married, Liz, was pregnant when they met, but the kid looks just like Mike. He's 2 1/2 now, and a lot of fun. He spends each Thursday - Saturday with us because Mike and Liz both work the same shift on those days. Shannon has graduated Magna Cum Laude from Nease High School and will be attending University of South Florida (Tampa) in the Fall to study Health Sciences, on her way to a career in Athletic Training. That's my girl! Her best friend also attends USF, but is a year ahead of Shannon. They are hoping to share an apartment starting next year.

If anybody reading this if visiting the Happiest Place on Earth, send me a message - you must experience Jellyrolls! Updated - 9/2011: Still paradise, even though the house is a little crowded now. Mike met a girl online who happened to be pregnant. She and her baby boy now live with us; both he and she are working hard to put some money away to get their own place. Shannon is a high school junior now, and a leader in all she does. She is on the varsity volleyball team, a NHS scholar, and involved in too many clubs to list. She spent 6 weeks during the summer volunteering on work crew at a Young Life camp in N. Carolina. She's now looking at possible colleges - has her eyes set on FSU or University of South Florida. Garrett is very involved in theater - played Jafar in a summer production of Disney's Aladdin, and stole the show with his solo num...Expand for more
