It has been a long time and I realize that I need to document more, he he. That was the whole reason why I started this blog. So, this is a milestone year however, I realize that as I say that, it usually is with someone in our family, every year! :) It is this year for several reasons but the biggest one is that a member of our family has moved away to college! We all miss Austin and it was weird to not be able to talk to or see him everyday. It was also really hard to be without a third driver and babysitter, I'm not gonna lie! However, we are thrilled that he has this opportunity to continue his education and be on his own! What an exciting time in one's life to be on your own! Alex, Luke, Troy and I went to settle him in at BYU-I in Rexburg, Idaho and as we were saying goodbye, Austin said to me, "Mom, I'll be back!" I was a little emotional, not gonna lie about that either. :) He Will be back in December to prepare for his mission! What am I going to do then? We won't be able to text!!!
