Eyn packed up and heading to the bus. Eyn seems to be excited to "Finally" be in High School. He got a new cell phone this weekend so he's really ready!
Trent and Amberly on their way to school. We have a new elementary school that is only .35 miles from our home so Trent is excited to be able to ride his bike to school. (So am I!!) It will be nice having the school so close to our home and not having to fight any traffic to get there.

Amberly outside of her classroom. She was quiet, but was excited.
Amberly and her Daddy. Darin went to work late today so he could see everyone off on their first day of school.
Amberly quickly made a new friend. I'm sure she will love kindergarten!
I've had many people ask me how it feels to have my baby going to school now. I really have a hard time answering that. I'm sad because I loved my time with Amberly when she was home with me. But, I'm happy for her because I know how much fun she is going to have. She has missed having her best friend Katie to play with and with be so happy making some new friends. Amberly loves to learn new things and make new things so I know how great this will be for her. I'm sad because with her gone to school it's like I'm stepping into a new phase of my life that I actually haven't looked forward to. But, I am excited for me too. I hope to be able to do many things that I have wanted to do which I haven't been able to do. I'm also excited because I plan on volunteering more in the schools. I hope to go to the temple more often also. It will be hard to adjust being alone all day, but it will be good. :) Darin and I have also been talking a lot about it being Elizabeth's "Last" year in high school. It seems like there are too many "Lasts" this year. When I think about her leaving to go to college next year that's when I really get chocked up. It's just hard to imagine life without her here all the time. We just keep telling ourselves to enjoy every minute of this year and we hope to make it a great year!
wow - I can't quite imagine what it would be like to have a little alone time during the day. Only 4 more years and I'll find out :-)! Enjoy your days and take a nap for me, please!
ReplyDeleteFor 17 years I have had someone home with me. It is definetly different! I actually took a nap this morning and didn't feel guilty at all! I think it's the noise level that's hard to get use to. It's so quiet!
