OK, so a lot has happened in the past three weeks! Emotional roller coaster. Today was a very poignant day. Our oldest son, Josh, has grown up and moved away for the first time. We are SOOO going to miss him. Did I mention that he graduated with honors? Kyle will help pass the Sacrament for the first time tomorrow. Alexis is getting ready to take the test to get her driving permit - I went to the garage to do an errand to find her behind the wheel - !!!! Dani will be moving back to Provo to work and take a summer class, but be home most weekends, I hope. So many changes. Check out Dani's blog - you'll love it.
