August 12th......a beginning and, well, an ending

Dallin started Kindergarten on August 12! All day long I couldn't help but thinking that this was the first day of the rest of his life. The beginning to a long and hopefully wonderful education. He was just so bright eyed and full of energy. I went with him to school the first day to get acquainted with the teacher and classroom, and then he couldn't wait to get to the bus stop on the 13th, and was just bounding the whole way there. I am so happy to report that he did remember to turn around and give me a hug before he got on the bus. What a good kid. He had a great day at school (from what I gathered) and he wasn't even worried about going back today.

Then the ending part of the 12th. My 30th birthday. ugh. The ending of my childhood. It is over. I have to completely check a different box on questionnaires now. I can't mark the 18-29 box any more. No longer am I bunched in with the 18 year olds. And you know? I do feel older on this birthday. That hasn't ever happened to me before! Usually it is just another day, but man I felt this one! I am not trying to complain, because I really have a wonderful life. I have an awesome little family and a beautiful home, amazing friends, and I really can't complain about anything. Besides finally submitting to adulthood.
