Caleb still couldn't believe that they were done with undergrad. It seemed like the fours years just flew by! Now he was working as a lobbyist for Mayor Brown and was working to getting his grad school admittance score up. It was all very exciting!

It always warmed Allison Rey's heart to see a child go to a good home. And after spending a year studying the Hendersons, she was sure that this was indeed a good home. Carlie was a very lucky child......

Last Update/ Next update/ Ginger & Meadow/ Caleb, Ricky, & Kimberly

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Kimberly Jackson, Ginger Newson, and Meadow Thayer are 21, Joss Willis is 1 (Slade Willis is 27, Armand Wrightwood is 32) 

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test and don't ask why

It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right

I hope you had the time of your life

Green Day

"You're being ridiculous, Slade," Meadow said.

"How am I being ridiculous? You're being ridiculous! Why do you need this dude to meet our daughter? She's 1 for goodness' sake!"

"We've been dating for 9 months! I think he's going to be a permanent part of my life, which means he will become a permanent part of hers. I really don't even NEED your permission to do this. But you're her dad. And I don't want to fight with you about this," Meadow said.

Dog Days Are Over - Part II

Round 8 - August 2041 - LBU

Last update/ Next update

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, and Kimberly Jackson are 21

Happiness, hit her, like a train on a track

Coming towards her, stuck still, no turning back 

She hid around corners, and she hid under beds

She killed it with kisses, and from it she fled

With every bubble, she sank with a drink

And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over, the dog days are done

The horses are coming, so you better run

Florence + The Machine

They were seniors. Caleb still couldn't believe that their college careers were almost over. It seemed like only yesterday that they all started. Now Meadow was a mom, he and Ginger were an item, and Ricky had succeeded in totally screwing up his romantic life........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 8 - August 2041

Kip and Kimber Henderson are 48, Kyle is 3 (Caleb Henderson is 20, Alana and Christian Brown are 44)

Spend all your time waiting, for that second chance

For a break that would make it okay

There's always some reason, to feel not good enough

And it's hard at the end of the day

Sarah McLachlan

He would be starting school soon. Kimber couldn't believe that her little boy would soon be leaving every morning, just as Kip did. Sure, she had her books to write, but it would be quite lonely without her boys there.......

Life Starts Now

'Cause life starts now,

You've done all the things that could kill you somehow,

But you will survive it somehow,

because life starts now

Three Days Grace



Caleb was glad that things were going well for he and Ginger. With all the craziness that was surrounding their friends, it was nice to be stable. Meadow and Ricky served as cautionary tales of what not to do!

Don't know what I want

But I know it's not you

Keep pushing and pulling me down

When I know in my heart it's not you

Paramore

If someone had told her that her college career would come to an end with her leaving pregnant, she would have laughed in their faces. Not Meadow Thayer. In a way she was glad to be leaving. She was showing now, and she was tired of the stares she got from other students. Maybe it was all in her head, maybe not. But either way she wasn't sad to be leaving. Things with Slade had improved......well as much as they were probably going to......she had had a conversation with him about helping her move to the new apartment with Ginger and she had only called him a bastard once......a definite improvement.......

Brick By Boring Brick - Part I

Last update/ Next update

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Meadow Thayer, and Kimberly Jackson are 19 (Slade Willis is 25)

Well, she lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of the world that she's left behind

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well, go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Paramore

Caleb Henderson was pissed. His springbreak plans had been ruined by Meadow and Ricky. He and Ginger were suppose to go away with Ricky and Kimberly for springbreak. After Meadow dropped the bomb about sleeping with Ricky, Kimberly broke things off with him. Sure, he and Ginger could have gone by themselves, but he wasn't ready for a trip like that with just the two of them.........damn Meadow and her meddling!

And from the ballroom floor, we are in celebration

One good stretch before our hibernation

Our dreams assured and we will all sleep well

Sleep well, sleep well, sleep well, sleep well

You have stolen my heart

Dashboard Confessional


He was growing up too fast. It only seemed like yesterday that she was carrying him in her womb. Now two years had already gone by and she just didn't know where the time had gone. She remembered saying that she would be glad when her pregnancy was over, but now she wanted it again. But she knew that baring children was no longer a part of her life........

Feelings

Last update/ Next update

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Meadow Thayer, and Ginger Newson are 19 (Slade Willis is 25, Kimberly Jackson is 19)

I'm a stubborn girl, you're a stubborn guy

Could be why we fight all the time

If it's not your way, then it must be mine

Can't communicate, can't even compromise

----------------------------------------------

I just can't decide, if it's you I want

Don't wanna choose between having you in my life

Or losing you for real because I caught feelings

Floetry

They were dating. If someone had told him that he would fall for his best friend, he would have called them a liar. The day that Ginger told him that she was in love with him was one of the most confusing days of his life. As she sat there, waiting on him to respond to her declaration, he really looked at her. She was beautiful, and he had no idea how he had never noticed it before. And who was the first person he called whenever something happened, be it good or bad? It wasn't his parents, though he supposed it should be. It was her. So it really made no sense that they weren't together. So they both stopped seeing other people and concentrated on each other. And it had been the best five months of his life.

I wanna feel your heart beat, like yesterday

"Why can't you just mind your own business? I have everything under control," Ricky said.

"All I'm saying is that Kimberly is a great girl. Meadow is not. Why mess up a good thing over her?"

"I'm not messing up anything! Ginger is a nice girl too," Ricky said.

"So? What's your point?" Caleb asked.

"How long are you going to dance around the issue? You know you want to be more than friends with her."

"That's crazy! And we're not talking about me, we're talking about you," Caleb said.

"Well when you're ready to talk about YOU, let me know."

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 7 - December 2038

Only one more birthday for the year of 2038!

Kyle Henderson is now 1 year old and he is just as cute as can be! I think he's a nice mix of Kimber and Kip.

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there

Well, it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

They all started off good. Caleb, Ricky, and Meadow had made a pact to keep each other in line so that they would all finish the semester with great grades. And it all started off good. Well, for the first few days....

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 7 - August 2038

Derick Pace had no idea what he had been thinking when he decided it was a good idea for him to become a husband and father! As he heard Charity's screams he knew that DeJuan had been right: he was definitely not ready for this........

Happy Birthday to ya!

Only one birthday this time! Kimber and Kip Henderson welcome their new son:

You mean the world to me, yeah

"We're moving. That's it," Kip said to Caleb.

"Why do we have to move? What's wrong with the house we have now?"

"We're moving for a number of reasons. It's tough for me trying to cross over to the otherside of LaQuest in the mornings to get to school. You know that it's very busy and the traffic is horrible. But the main reason is that we're going to have another baby," Kip said.

"A baby?! You and mom? Gross!" Caleb exclaimed.

Kip Henderson was excited about his first day as principal of East High School. He still couldn't believe Christian had asked him to do it. They were never very close, even though their wives were the best of friends. He wanted to go in and get everything ready for the opening the next day. It seemed that their luck was finally turning around......

Kip and Kimber Henderson are 41, Caleb is 13 (Alana Brown is 37)

 Kimber couldn't believe how big Caleb had gotten. It seemed like only yesterday she was holding him in her arms. Now he was 13 and was almost as big as she was! Oh, he still liked to play with that old remote control helicopter Kip had bought him years ago. And he still was frightened whenever there was a thunder storm, although he would never admit to it. But he was on his way to becoming a man, and Kimber didn't want to lose her little boy.

Kip and Kimber Henderson are 38, Caleb is 10

Caleb Henderson was a happy little boy. He was an only child whose parents doted on him daily, what's not to love? Sometimes he did feel a little lonely and wished that he had someone to play with all the time. But he could just call one of his friends over. Simple answer to a very simple problem!
