Paulette Martin:  

Update in 2009. My daughter and I have moved on with our lives since my husband's passing. I'm enrolled in Communication Design program at a comm. coll. in our area. I'll receive my Art Foundation's certification next year. I'll receive my AAS in 2012, yep that's right. I work full time so I can only take 2 class/semester, and only 1 in the summer! Seems like it'll take forever. My daughter is now 19 and enrolled in a Cosmetology school. She's doing very well! Life I have a new update since I posted the below in 2005.

The latter of which I really don't mind! Our daughter is now 15, in the 10th grade and is a honor student. We have been truly blessed with her. She's very much a teenager, but beyond that, she's a great kid. I do understand now when they say "raising teenagers is like nailing Jello to a tree!" Arghhh! I belong to a great Catholic Church here and everyone is so personal. It's small compared to CA parishes. We have about 250-300 families. It's a great community. So all i...Expand for more
