first.

Yet again, I will tell you now {a week.5 into school} that this year is going to be happy. It's going to be hard. But it's going to be happy & rejuvenating. I can already feel the magic.

I'm experiencing so many new things. Some more tangible than others, but all for such a good purpose. Here are some of the little random firsts that have been photographed:

first few weeks of being a licensed driver = success!
{p.s. I promise I'm not a hooligan. I was at a stoplight that had just turned red in this picture, and I do know the person behind me. No hesitation is necessary while your child is in my car.}

First wings! Yes, I know I am deprived. It happens.
Thank goodness for Parker & McKay. They tend to keep me in check.

First few events with the new StuCo also = success!
I can't even tell you how much I love them.
I'm so {so so so} grateful for such a fun/hardworking group.
& the Howdy Hero Hop/Traditions assembly were BOMB.

First Johnnie's experience!
Um, best pizza of my life.
It's in some city that I forgot the name of...
like 45 mins away. So worth the drive.

My first scrapbooking venture, Holli's wedding book!
I am pleased with the turnout, but man.
That was a learning curve if there ever was one.

On a more serious note... I'm learning a whole bunch of crazy things about myself. Mostly that I {can} do hard things. To be continued...
