My husband is planning to transport said son, with his brothers, over the mountains this weekend for a supervised and chaperoned "date." At least I'll be at a women's conference and got "excused" from this trip!<br /><br />Jill, I'll keep you posted... in some ways it's better than when they were small, and it some ways it's worse. Though definitely not as bad as I'd imagined!<br /><br />Patti, thanks for stopping by! I'm on my way to your new blog right now, looking forward to it.Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-8241608046608023142009-11-20T07:27:54.913-07:002009-11-20T07:27:54.913-07:00Oh, I love your mother's heart--and your blog!...Oh, I love your mother's heart--and your blog!<br /><br />Hope you will check out mine and give this ooooold mother some tips.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Patti<br />www.pattilacy.com/blogPatti Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687666130404407814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-2489014462240327342009-11-13T09:39:25.136-07:002009-11-13T09:39:25.136-07:00This is so relatable!

Everything is identical (except the age):<br />1. Heavy metal Demon Hunter t-shirt complete with spike-bracelet (or whatever else you call it) and hoody with that awful picture on it.<br /><br />2. Long-distance girlfriend in Michigan. This summer he decided he was going to go see her. She lives in Michigan -- he lives in Indiana. It was a huge lesson for him. He lost -- no really he LOST his car over it and is now car-less. We, too, are a courtship only family. <br /><br />He is 18 and still living in this house and attending college.<br /><br />Raising teens is HARD WORK! Hang in there! If I had a formula for you to use, I'd bottle it and give it to you, but I don't. Other than PRAYER and lots of it.Karla Akinshttp://envisionpublishing.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
