Steele Mama, be a happy mama. I firmly believe that every young person could use a year in California. It's an essential rite of passage! The worse thing you have to think about is the time difference. When I lived in Palo Alto (many moons ago :razz: ) my mother always called me at the crack of dawn because she'd forget about how early it was for me. Or at least that's what she told me. I've always had the sneaking suspicion she wanted to make sure I was in my own bed. :lol:
I know. I have already been thinking about my schedule and when it will be the best time to talk. She and her big sis are on the way to Pensacola airport and are running late! (They only had all morning to leave on time....not to worry!)

Kimmi I will definitely get you her address. I just asked her for it and she doesn't know it yet. I will PM you her e-mail. You can also catch her on Myspace. She would love to see you up there.

I lived in socal the first two years of my marriage. #1 was born out there. It was good to be away from all the parents but also hard. I was a baby at 21. The daddy brought home $98 a week. I took the little baby to the grocery store and spent $20. A lot of thrift store shopping! How we did it I'll never know.

SM, I'm sorry you're sad, but what a wonderful time in Joy Joy's life. I do hope you get to visit and like everyone else said, she'll always be in your heart and you in hers. She'll come back as soon as she can too, I bet.
 
Steeleing3 is relocating indefinitely to SanFran, leaving today! I am calling it a sabatical. She has a full time job and a place to live for a month. Hopefully she won't be gone too long cuz I don't think I can take it! Borago had a going away for her last night with quite a showing.

:clap_1: ...for steeleing3

:sosad: ...for steelemama

We are here for you. When are you going to San Fran?

I am sorry you are sad Mama!! But, you know she will come back to the place she loves so much, and the mama she loves. What a great opportunity for her to travel though. We are here for you. :love:

What a fantastic adventure for her! If she is going to go somewhere, it should be a place that is totally different and fun!:clap_1:

And I will ask too- when are you going to San Fran, Steelemama??

We are sad to see her leave, too, but at the same time, I am excited for getting to explore. She will like SanFran and come back even smarter from what she will learn on her journey. We are just selfish. You are probably just experiencing Motherly Instinct, trying to protect your beautiful daughter. She will be just fine. She is a smart girl, and doesn't get into trouble. Encourage her to grow, and let her know that you love her. Watch her blossom. :D

:clap_1: S3 is going to enjoy this life experience so much! I'm very proud of her! :D
Steele Mama...These all say what I think! I hope she gains many riches while she is there. San Fran is a WONDERFUL place!!!:love:

Ohhhhhhh! Last Sunday!
Here is an update. Got to Pensacola airport yesterday and Airtran said the flight is delayed and will leave at 5:00. So Joy and Jen spend 45 minutes in the cola and then go back to the airport at 3:30. Well the plane is leaving right now. So she missed the flight and doesn't get to Atl until 10:00 last night so she missed the connection to sanfran. Not to worry....her best friend Kara came and picked her up and they get to spend time together and I get to see her today!!!!! Also her baby sister gets to see her! God is good! So she leaves tonight at 7:00 and starts her job tomorrow night.

Mama, you are of course happy and sad at the same time. I know you will miss her, but it sounds like you have done a great job in preparing her for this. Just visit those grandsons and this board as much as posssible. Good luck and best wishes to all of you. God speed little Joy.

I just wish I were going with her!!! Running away sounds like a great idea to me..........just kidding.

Joy will be fine and I envy her this experience. She's had time enough in "paradise". We will miss her.
