Nikki tagged me! Rules: Post the 4th picture from your 4th file with a brief description. Here goes! This past June Jaron and I took a trip to New York City with his high school drama club. We saw 8 Broadway shows in 7 days! (Technically, 7 Broadway and 1 off-Broadway) It was SO much fun!! I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. We had a blast, and I would love to go back someday with our whole family, we would rock that town! My favorite parts about the trip were: Seeing Legally Blonde: The Musical (even though I fell down the stairs and sprained my ankle trying to run outside to get autographs!), touring NBC Studios, seeing Regis Philbin in person, and eating cupcakes at an awesome bakery! I tag: Kari, Ruth, and Kim.

The Long Walk Home
We received a letter from Elder Barney's Mission President that told us his release date is December 31st. Not quite home in time for Christmas, but Happy New Year! We are so excited to have him come home, but the fun will be short lived. He has decided to go back to school at SUU on January 5th, so we will only have a few days with him and he will be gone again. At first I was fighting this, how could he leave me after only 5 days? But I soon began to realize that it is his life to live, and he is not my little boy anymore. I also realize that he doesn't want his mission to end, and when it does, a new chapter in his life will begin. I never served a mission, so I don't know what that is like. But I know he is nervous about returning to "normal life"
, and I want to help him all I can. My heart is breaking as I think about him coming home only to leave again, but I guess that is what being a mother is all about--letting your children grow up and leave you. I just hope I can be a steady foundation for them to grow from.

Life is Beautiful
Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love the beauty of the changing colors of the trees, the cool, crisp air, and the promise of a few more warm nights. I am blessed to be surrounded by people that I love, and who love me in spite of my faults. So today I am grateful for my beautiful life. I will savor each moment of it, and try to never take it for granted. Today is a gift -- that is why we call it "The Present." :)
