College Tours Day 1

I am very against the idea that parents need to take their kids all across the country to look at colleges. It actually really annoys me that this is such a huge thing.

But, somehow I still got wrapped in to taking Claire on a cross country college tour.

First stop: Athens, Georgia and the Universtiy of Georgia. This is the one Claire was most excited to see. It did not disappoint. It's just way too expensive! So we will see.








Their stadium sits 93,000 fans! WOW!




It took over an hour for her to finally find a sweatshirt she liked...



This was her "cheating" on University of Georgia as she was talking to University of Utah to find out she got admitted into U of U and into their pre-nursing program.

Concert, and First College Acceptance!

 Claire had her last fall concert! Crazy to think a year from now she will either be at college or on a mission!


Speaking of college, this girl just got her first college acceptance letter to Southern Georgia University. But they keep texting her "Christina, congratulations" so maybe it's the girl on the right heading to the south?

HOCO 2026!

 Camille's first, and Claire's last! They both went with a group of friends. Claire said it was a little boring. Camille had dinner at Olive Garden- I think she had a great time. Either way, both of them looked STUNNING! We sure have beautiful daughters!! I was glad I didn't have to buy a dress this year. Camille wore Claire's old one, and Claire borrowed one from a friend

Then the main event

Birthday Fun!

For my Birthday this year, we rented a game room and invited some dear friends and went and played games such as Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, Plinko, and such. We had an awesome time- it was a lot of fun!



We played husbands vs. wives, and the wives won! 9-7! Woo-hoo!

These trips around the sun are not guaranteed, and I sure am grateful to get another one!
