They looked so young... I couldn't help but think of your brother and all the other young men we have read about on GC or know personally. My heart and prayers are with ALL of you!
BTW, what is PartyLite???

JAM - thanks for your thoughts about Chris -- he is really working hard and is working on meeting new friends on the ship. I think its easy to imagine feeling lonely when you are on a ship in the middle of the ocean with 5000 others that you don't know!!
PartyLite is the GREATEST of the home shows! They are THE candle people and make the best candles on the market. The home shows are fun because its just sitting around talking for about 20 minutes about the products, but of course (as women will do) we end up talking about OTHER things (hint - what most people think about when you're talking about candles and night time mood
) -- so then it turns into a big PJ party with the giggling and the stories -- oh, it is SO much fun!! If you ever get invited to go to one, you should go! They are a blast!!
I started PL in December to help pay off the ENORMOUS debt I incurred from Creative Memories (the scrapbook people). I wanted to do something to help earn money since I would be staying at home with Eli. Well, instead I forked over about $3000 to CM and it was terrible! I can't believe I got sucked into that. Well, PL is totally different - I paid NOTHING to start ($250 for CM) and do not keep an inventory ($1000 and up for CM) and don't have to pay for my hostess gifts, credit card transactions, etc. Plus, I love getting out at night and being with ADULTS!! I love my child, but being with him all day is plenty! And Mr. AXOAlum really does love to be at home with him. If my party gets cancelled, he tells me to go out anyway so he and "the boy" can have some QT together! It is precious!!
Okay, so that was a really long explanation - sorry!
