[QUOTE="VLong, post: 111411, member: 3458"] 2007 has been an up and down year... The downs: At the top of the list, neighbors' son being struck by hit and run driver in our front yard and passing away the next morning (Sept 23) (yes, the jacka** was caught and Jan 3 is preliminary trial). Next, one of my sales reps in OK commits suicide in November. It's taken me this long to start to get the images of Travis out of my head and I still cry like a baby at certain songs. Menopause doesn't help at all! The ups: Well, at the top of this list is the impending birth of my first grandchild, Kyla Lee and the amazing transformation that my oldest son has gone through in the last 9 months. I am very proud of him and his girlfriend. They are renting her aunt's basement which is pretty much a studio apt. and they both are working full time. Well, she's off for another 10 weeks for maternity leave. I am just so proud of them. Only time will tell how things go between them, but for now they are happy and doing all of the right things for their daughter. Alex is passing all of his classes except for Art. Letting him move down to his dad's was the best decision I think I've made concerning him. He has a girlfriend and is growing up. Hard for me since he is my baby, but it is good to see. He seems to have the ADD under control and knows how he needs to study to get passing grades. And last, but not least, I have now been a non-smoker for 3 months on Jan 3rd!!!! The Chantix was a wonder drug for me. I know it's not for everyone, but it made quitting smoking manageable and I have been off of it since Thanksgiving. I still want to smoke, but I have no cravings for a cigarette. husband told me that even after 5 years of not smoking he still wants a cigarette every now and then! So, I am very proud of myself. I haven't not smoked since I was pregnant with Alex. I didn't smoke when I was pregnant with either of the boys. I pretty much quit for my granddaughter, to be around to watch her grow up, so I had a darn good reason to quit. Plus, I feel so much better now. What I want for 2008: Alex to keep on the path of passing his classes. Justin and girlfriend to be wonderful parents to Kyla. To spoil my granddaughter rotten! To refinance our house. To lose a lot of weight, but slowly so that it stays off! To go to the gym 5 days a week. Happy New Year to all of you! [/QUOTE]
