Laurin's 18th birthday

Happy birthday Laurin!!! She is officially an "adult"! This past year has been an adventurous one for her as she has been feverishly wrapping up her high school career and frantically trying to plan for her college future. She is officially enrolled at Weber State University and (after the shock of knowing she has to be an adult) is excited about moving out on her own. We are extremely proud of her academic accomplishments. She is quickly maturing as that frontal lobe in her brain finally kicks into gear. It has been fun watching her make good decisions because she knows that is what is right and not simply because she wants to avoid a parental consequence. I'm still not certain she has given up the erroneous assumption that her parents don't know anything, but hopefully with time, she will see us as an asset. She is such a beautiful, talented young woman. We are so proud to call her daughter. To celebrate, we had her favorite dinner (steak) then invited family over to partake in cookie sundaes for dessert. Happy birthday Laurin!! We hope this next year is the best yet!
