Cyprus High Homecoming


Last night was Homecoming and James' first "official" dance. After a winning soccer game, we dropped Jade (James' friend-girl) off, and ran home to get James ready for his night. We picked up Jade at the designated time - James and Jade suffered through both Mom's taking pictures before finally meeting up with their group of friends for dinner at Appleby's. The boys all looked so handsome - they sure clean up nicely! - and all the girls looked beautiful! They said they all had a great time and as a mom, yes it's hard to see your "baby" growing up, dressing up, going to dances with a pretty girl, do I dare say the "D" (dating) word yet....? But I'm also proud of the way I see him be such a gentleman, nice and respectful and responsible. I'm very proud of him!

In Love with Fall


I just love fall in Utah. It is my favorite season by far. I love the cool air, the changing colors, and my zip up hoodies! I took a quick drive by myself up Butterfield Canyon just to see some fall colors and I was not disappointed. I love the windy road with the dusting of snow on the ground from our first storm of the fall/winter season. It was very peaceful and reminded me of my new favorite quote "To pay homage to beauty is to admire nature, to admire nature is to worship God" ~author unknown. The changing of the leaves at fall is definately something to admire!
