Sand Hollow, again

We went to Sand Hollow again to celebrate T and D's birthday. Some of their friends met us down there for cliff jumping, but fo the most part, we just hung out on the beach. Can't wait to get back!

Theresa Caitlyn-- 18 yrs

Our creative girl is ready to start her life. She will be moving to St George to start at Paul Mitchell hair school in August. She loves drawing, music, running and being with her friends. She has matured soo much this year and I am confident that she will be successful out there in the real world. She always has her cell phone and is texting away--she's got a lot to say. She is responsible and independent and knows what she wants out of life.

We are proud the young woman she has become.

Theresa's constants:
Drawing
Painting
Ever changing hair color
Music
contagious giggles


New this year:
Taking the car
cell phone
single life
no more high school
out on her own (soon)

Drewper at 17

The constants in Drew's life:

Halo
Green converse shooes
TMBG
Star Wars
Quick wits
Big brown eyes

New this year:
Ears pierced
Truck (his dad just gave Drew the red Nissan that he drove in high school)
Cell phone
Drum set

Drew acts more and more like his dad as he gets older. It throws me out of balance. He will laugh or look at me in a certain way and I have flash backs. He seems to have gotten the best traits from booth of us. Amazing to see my son become a great man. Well, almost. We have a few more years--thankfully. I could not be more proud of him,

List Maker

I have always been a list maker. I feel better if I can see all that I need to do in black and white. I love to cross things off. I have been working on the long lists of things I need to get ready for school-- Financial Aide stuff, physical, drug test, buying various supplies and uniforms--it seemed like a lot to tackle when I first made my check off list, but I am getting to the end. The most challenging has been the financial aide stuff. I went by Mohave on Monday and I though I was almost done with what I needed to get to them but I only got another list of things I need to do.

So, I just made a new list. It looks daunting. Not many things checked off. A lot to worry about. I will get through it. I know it will all work out.
