So here it is 10 minutes to midnight and we're waiting for Hannah's date to the dance to finish decorating her car. They've been decorating for an hour now. She asked him with a poem and a gallon of chocolate milk. He had to take certain colored letters from the poem and unscramble them to find out her name. He is such a fun young man and it will be a great first date. It was a girl's choice dance and the theme is Neon Nights. I'll be posting pictures of the pre-event next Saturday as I'm sure she won't want me tagging along to take pictures the whole night. And as soon as I can get Sam out to take pictures of her car, I'll get them attached to this post. I'm sitting here in my nightgown or I'd be right out there with them taking pictures. It's so fun having Hannah get this opportunity. It will be fun for her to go. The young man's name that she will be going with is Whyatt Garn and they are really good friends and I'm sure they will have a great time together. He is a really easy-going, fun-loving kid. I don't think I've laughed so hard when someone gave a sacrament talk as I did when Whyatt spoke.
I have mixed feelings as I look at Hannah growing up. I know she won't be my baby girl for much longer and that makes me a little sad. Actually, I know she hasn't been my baby girl for quite sometime now and she likes it that way. She keeps telling me how she's a big girl and how she can now handle life. From past experience I know that this is the natural way that things have to go, but it doesn't make it any easier. She has been such an easy-going child and I look forward to seeing her take on this new aspect with grace. That's how she seems to do things - okay, well sometimes she stumbles right on through, but we all have a good time with it.

How fun for her. I have to agree it is really hard to see our kids all grow up. You enjoy it, you know it, but it still is hard to see and know that they aren't going to be with you for much longer. Every once in a while I think maybe we need another - and then I remember that we really don't want to do all of that again! Keep the memories. Can't wait for the pictures from her date.
