Once a Puma always a Puma - that's the saying anyways....this kid made the Perry HS baseball feeder team! I haven't seen him this excited in a long time! The tournament this weekend was a little rough, but since I haven't seen him play since February I loved it! It's cool if I wear all my Perry cheer gear to baseball right?! #pitcher #firstbase #pinchrunner #cougars
We left a huge piece of our heart in Utah! As we drive home we have lots of mixed emotions! WE are proud of the human we have raised, we feel at peace with her apartment and roommates, her bestie is right there, we love that she has family close by to help, we had a rough two weeks before she left but saw the blessings and gifts from Heavenly Father as we headed up, and now we will say our goodbyes, cry our tears and count down till we get to see her next time! #imnotaregularmomimacoolmom #ibettercallheritsbeen5minutessinceweleft
We blessed Emma's apartment before we left and Jared also gave her a back to school blessing before we left as well:
Emma bless you to be happy the Lord is looking out for you. You are at a point to receive the fruits of your labors. Heavenly Father is very happy for the decisions you are making. Bless you with a spirit of discernment. Aware of your surroundings and be safe. Notice around you who needs help and upliftment. Bless you to focus on your studies. This room will be a sanctuary for you and you will be able to retreat from worries of the outside world. Pay attention to promptings of the still small voice. When you act upon them you will become more Intune. Your family is rooting for you and loves you. You are leading the way for the Jensens and Rodgers cousins. This is a powerful legacy you are leaving behind!
Alpine Village #325 - her first apartment and home away from home
Chick-fil-a in Utah still sells wraps - Tyson is super jealous
family time with cousins
Braiding Markhams hair one last time
Teaching Emma with Uncle Bryant how to ride the UVX
Taking the girls to dinner one last time before leave
All the pictures of Emma's back while she is walking is every time she thought she was to cool for her parents - yes including the one inside UVU
Jared working on electronics in her apartment (even though Uncle Blake would have to come and help her buy a new router as soon as we left dang it!)
And Sodalicious Parkway - the newest shop and her new work location!
The lovely very detailed notes Emma's roommate Katie left every where for us when we came inside the apartment!
When I got back from Utah, Michelle had left me flowers knowing I would be sad about leaving Emma!
The kids had one last sleepover together the night before Emma left!
Somehow we have to fit Emma along with all this stuff in our car to take her to college - ha ha!
Emma also got a job at UVU working for TRIO. She is a tutor at the college. It pays $13 an hour which is almost double what she gets at Soda. She has her own little cubicle thing and has to wear the lovely vests while tutoring!
Saying goodbye to the grandparents before she heads up to school! Emma got to visit Grandma Joyce last Sunday and listen to stories, get advice from her and hear her opinions on certain subjects! Yesterday Emma and Grandma Rodgers got their nails done, went to lunch and then hung out all afternoon with Grandpa Rodgers. Today Grandma and Grandpa Jensen came by for a few minutes to say goodbye. Until December....
