Winding Down!!

I am watching Allie's Senior year winding down. It is interesting how ambivalent I am about her leaving High School. All the crazy coming and going, the kids (girls!!) getting ready for dates, dances, parties...etc...




The loud laughter, the trashed bedroom (somehow they need to try on every thing in the closet and leave the rest on the bed.) the trail of cologne and overnight bags!!




Tonight's events are what made me think of this.. she is running out the door and down the street to Maggie's to have her peer edit her Senior Research Project. She has been running out the door and down to Maggie's for years. We have a wonderful picture of Maggie and Allie holding hands in the Kindergarten Thanksgiving pagent.




This picture is really small but all the way to the left is Allie and Maggie, and I wish you could see better that they are holding hands. They are so scared, and they have been friend ever since.




Allie is working on college funding and who is going where, I am tired but I know soon, Maggie won't be, down the street to the corner and count 3 houses. She will be in Paris, France going to College, and Jayme and Kristi are off to BYU I and poor Allie will be here going to Sierra for a semester. Several of the kids got into BYU and the rest are going to BYU I and CA Universities. I know all this noise will be gone soon and I am just remembering to enjoy while I can. I have been ordered off the computer so more homework can commence, now that I won't miss!!

I am happy that Allie has so many good memories. Good friends make such a difference. My how the time flies by - remember when you moved into that house and she was trying to help bring things in - tiny as she was. Memories!
