a bit of nostalgia...

Last night, we drove down to Provo and took my sister Heather and her roommate out to dinner. Not only was it fun to see my cute little "college student" sister, but it felt good to repay the universe for all the times we were taken out to dinner as students.  It was nice to be the one picking up the check this time.

After we left Heather and her roommate to their research papers, Caton and I took the kids to the BYU campus for some dessert. Although it was dark, I could pick out certain spots and buildings on campus that held countless memories of our courtship, my education, and the first year of our married life. And to be there with our two kids was a little trippy. Back then, I could have never imagined that our life would be as it is now. 

As we left Provo, I just felt so grateful for all the choices that I made in that town and on that campus. They have resulted in events and experiences that have blessed my life in so many ways. I am a bit nostalgic for those carefree days of student life, but can honestly say that I am perfectly happy with path my life took from there. I am excited for my little sister and all the opportunity that awaits her during the next four years...
