Senior Prom

Yesterday, while we were at Laurin's graduation, a post from 5 years ago popped up on my Facebook feed. It was a picture of Laurin and Amber going to prom. 5 years ago Laurin was attending her senior prom and now Dallin is attending his. Where did the time go?! When I married Jeff, I honestly felt like the day in which we would be down to just Danny (we didn't know about Jonas at the time) in the home was forever away...and now it's here (plus Jonas). It has been a privilege to be a part of raising such an incredible young man. I have loved watching him experience high school. I know I've said this before, but I feel like he did high school "right" (if there is such a thing). He found good friends, participated in fun activities, and maintained high goals/standards. I am going to miss all these boys as they graduate and start leaving on their missions. I'm grateful that they found equally good girls to hang out with and take to dances. Dallin took Jackie Earnest to prom this year. Their group went to Tucano's for dinner then to the dance. They ended the evening with an outdoor movie across the street at the Chisholm's. Can this really be the beginning of the end of Dallin's high school sojourn?! He keeps reminding me he only has 15 school days left. It's going too fast! At least, he's enjoying the ride.

Dallin with his rather tall friend, Matt, prior to picking up their dates. Dallin's trying to look as tall as Matt...it wasn't working.
