My mom is cool about it though. She usually comes to Texas twice a year - once during the summer and of course at Christmas. I send my dad and stepmom pictures of the kids through e-mail and snail mail, but it's just not the same. I haven't been back to California in two years and I am going through serious withdrawals! But anyway, we plan on going back there this summer because my husband's best friend is going to get married! WOOHOO! Well, as far as work goes, I work for BlueCross BlueShield of Texas as a claims examiner. In June, I will have been there for two years. ...Expand for more
