...BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!
Last year and this year have seemed a little surreal as school started. I guess I'm still not used to only having one kid going back to school. This year, Mandy wasn't even in the house. Like I said...surreal. Still this is life and change is definitely a constant here at "Happy Acres".
This year Jackie begins her Junior Year of High School. She has changed and grown over the summer. She is still our "Whackie-Jackie" and makes me laugh like nobody else can, but there's a depth of maturity in our girl that is heart-warming. Just like every other school year, the night before school started, Kevin sat Jackie down and gave her a "Father's Blessing". Again, like every year, I sit in awe at the counsel and wisdom our Heavenly Father shares with my children through Kevin as he exercises his priesthood. I am grateful beyond words for the gift of a husband who worthily honors his priesthood.
More adventures in our family came today as Jackie got her driver's license. She passed the driving test with her Driver's Ed teacher a couple of weeks ago. Today we trekked down to the DMV and got her license. Jackie's excited....the drivers of Utah County should beware. haha Actually, she's a good driver, just not very experienced.
Seems as if this has been our year for milestones....Like I said, change is definitely a constant here at Happy Acres.
