Default So, what have I missed?

Thought I'd stick my nose in to see what's happening these days.

I passed my citizenship test earlier this month. Not much else is new.

I just saw your name on another thread and thought, haven't seen that name for years! But then realised I just started frequenting the US forums. I remember a thread once where I told my deepest medical secrets to you in The Barbie, thinking hardly anyone would read it, and it got moved to TIO

Congratulations on your citizenship. We're about to apply for an E3 (I knew getting Australian citizenship would come in handy one day) so I'm going to be asking lots of newbie questions over this side of BE.

Congrats on the citizenship test!

You haven't missed much, but that being said, our daughters are about to turn 9, so where the hell did that time go?

Not much older then my sisters oldest kid, he turns 19 soon. Well her oldest is her step daughter she is 23 and already had a kid, so technically my sister is a grandmother lol

That is the normal behavior of the government.

Yeah, not too far off (and in reality he is my stepson too, I just don't use that term for him personally). I hope for both our sakes, it's a while before he makes me a grandfather though, I want to be in my 50s at least before that happens

It's not so bad, really, it's just that it seems like about 5 minutes ago when he was 10.
