I just put Ryan on a plane to Denver ALL BY HIMSELF. He went to go play with his cousins for a week. I got a little watered-up as he boarded. He looked so big getting on a plane without me. I don't think I'm ready for my kids to keep growing up and doing things on their own.
My youngest brother got engaged yesterday. What make me feel old, you say? Miss Alexis was one of my students when I first started teaching in Pleasant Grove. She couldn't figure out why I looked so familiar when we first met (I was a lot younger and a lot thinner). I didn't recognize her from her days in sixth grade. My brother helped her figure out how we knew each other. Is it possible that I'm old enough for one of my previous students to be marrying my brother?
