Chris (33 years old) now has a special lady in his life!

Patricia.

Chris met her last fall at Warm Floors where he works. She was hired by Warm Floors just about the time Chris was about to quit. In fact he would have quit just before she started except Peter, his supervisor, nearly had a heart attack when Chris tried to give two weeks notice. To keep Chris from leaving Peter gave him more authority, flex hours and freedom to work from home.

Chris and Patricia are working on a Web site together that caters to the gaming community (videoracer.com). They also are having a lot of fun (even actually making money) selling books, electronics and miscelllaneous items on eBay.

Chris has now been in his new house for over two years and is telling us he is running out of space. Why? He has started buying full size arcade machines to rebuild and resell. In his family room alone, he has four or five!

Kathy, now 28, has been happily married for almost five months.

She and Tim are enjoying their brand new two-story house completed last spring. They moved in just before the end of May right after Kathy closed the deal on the sale of her townhouse in Portola Hills.

These days, landscaping, painting, and decorating are pretty high on Tim and Kathy's list. Somehow between their work lives and finding time to play they are getting it all done.

Tim is an account executive with Corovan Moving and Storage. Kathy is still working part time with eLiberation. At the same time she freelances and continues to build her base of graphic and Web design clients.

As lucrative as freelancing is Kathy is also looking in new directions; looking for something she can enjoy doing even more. She's researching starting a new business along the lines of cut flowers, wedding related products or something else that can provide her both satisfaction and give her enough income to enable her to put graphic design on a back burner.
