Colton was the only boy I got a picture of this morning.
He has been SO nervous about starting high school.
He is a sophomore.
And just the most badass kid I know.
He put on the shirt Mama bought him and the necklace Auntie Tif made him and he was ready!
Ready to conquer fears. Ready to conquer anxiety. Ready to conquer hard things.
Last night we did our back-to-school feast.
I do these annually.
I felt bad this year. I didn't even get sparkling cider.
Bad mom moment.
But, I did make amazing creamy chicken enchiladas, spanish rice and brownies.
Kaydon was in charge of the theme for this year.
"Kindness and Patience."
He talked about how you really can't have one without the other.
He talked about how you really can't have one without the other.
He is right.
This will be a great theme for our family.
Yesterday, Jackson called Auntie Carrie and I.
He was in the best mood.
He informed me that he will only be sending "big" emails every other week.
I was not happy about this.
I told him that this was unacceptable.
He just laughed.
Then, we did not get an email yesterday.
He's gonna get it!
BUT, he is transferring to a new area tomorrow.
It is north about four hours.
It is in the country, rather than the city.
It is called Salamanca.
He has been called as the District Leader.
His new companion is still training, as well.
His new companion is Mexican.
And, Mama is always glad to be back into a routine!
