What a Difference a Decade Makes

One afternoon about 10 years ago,

 I was in the lovely Turlock California attending a class at 

CSU Stanisalus,

I noticed I had a message on my cell phone.

I had no idea how to retrieve it, so I asked a student

and before I knew it, I was listening to a message from Todd 

and he had been accepted to UCLA.

My first response,

"There is no way that I'm going to let my 18 year old son go to southern California.

But....

I was proud of him.

Long story short, 

he went to BYU.

Move it up 10 years,

   Oddly, he's at BYU  again ---

I got a text on my cell phone this week

that Todd got into UCLA....Again!!!!!

I whooped and hollered, threw my arms in the air and yelled,

'Todd got into UCLA!!!!'

It is the closest of all the schools he is looking at.

So, we shall see where he will end up for 4 more years.

But no matter what, I'm proud of him.

Back in rural Idaho,

Wes and I went up the Wood River Valley way.

I love this little thrift shop in Bellevue,

and a couple of doors down the road is great used furniture store.

We continued our journey and ate at The Big Belly Deli

in Hailey Idaho.

Look at this sandwich...

It's visually stunning.

And it's gone, so I guess it was good.

Life is Good
