Back To School.

Kylee started her first day of 7th grade today and let me tell you what an emotional night I had last night as well as this morning. I swear I am having Kindergarten flashbacks! Chet gave her a blessing last night and I cried through it. She thought I was goofy for crying because "it's only 7th grade, mom!" but what she doesn't realize is I know that it will soon become 10th grade, then college and marriage. 6 years is not a very long time and knowing that that's all she has before she moves out is killing me. I know...I shouldn't think about that time before it comes but I can't help it right now. I am trying hard to live in the "now" and enjoy each moment...and really, I am! But I'm also dreading what is to come. It's just hard b/c I know how hard these years of Jr. High are and the things that she is going to be facing. Chet's blessing was really nice and very comforting for me. I hope she listens to the counsel in the blessing. She is a good girl and I trust her completely I am just afraid for the things she will be exposed to and have to face. YIKES!

I saw this old church commercial on Jeanne's blog and it really depicts how I am feeling right now. I'm glad she found it and let me borrow it because I couldn't even remember what it was called. Thanks Jeanne!




Makayla and Talon also started school last week. Makayla is in 4th grade...already and Talon is in 2nd. They both had a great week and loved their teachers. I'm so glad and look forward to a great new school year with these two!
