Talie is Leaving Us!

    So, at the beginning of Talie's first semester of her senior year, the school messed up her math class and couldn't seem to fix it for two weeks! Finally Benson went into the counseling office, with Talie, and after asking some questions, they actually came out with - not the correct math class, but the realization that Talie could graduate one semester early! But, she had to decide and let them know by the next morning!! Benson and I went to the temple to ponder it more deeply, and Talie had the entire day to think about it. When we met together, Talie decided that yes! She was gonna do it! Then we discovered that the application deadline for the BYUs was still open for two more weeks, so Suddenly our barely 17 year old that we only had one year left with was leaving in 4 very short months!!
And now it is here, for real=(.

So we have been busy going through T's room and deciding what she should take and leave behind.

We've been doing lots of snuggle and together time!

Talie and I had a day all to ourselves, to shop for snow boots, of course (and glasses? why not=), lunch at Panda Express, cheesecake at Cheesecake factory,  makeovers at Sephora, and the movie Point Break, complete with a big bag of greasy, buttery popcorn, to end it all off with! It was so nice to not have to worry about being home at a certain time! It truly felt like a vacation! And we had so much fun! I'm gonna miss my friend!!

            

It's such a small world! As we were walking into the movies, Benson and the kiddos were coming out from watching Star Wars! And, they had to try on the new glasses of course!
