In the fall of 1998 I sat in Pioneer Elementary School's gym for a Kindergartener parent meeting. Wynn Costley welcomed us as the parents of the Class of 2011. I distinctly remember thinking how far away that was. (Yet at the time, anything past the year 2000 was hard to envision wasn't it?) It is such a vivid memory. Strange how it seems like just yesterday. . .
13 years later life is full of college applications, mountains of homework for 4 AP classes, scholarship applications and sterling scholar portfolios. . . . (oh and a few final merit badges--the thorns in my side)
It goes by so fast. I'm just in awe that 2011 is right in my face. I'm thankful that his eyes are on the nearby BYU so the separation won't feel as dramatic. (or at least I hope--this new era is scary to me!)
PS....After I started this post, I googled something unrelated and in complete accident found this article that has a blurb about Cache. I had to laugh--half of his write up is obviously written by him, the other has to be the teacher who edited the whole article. He would never mention his ACT or other accolades--his part is the typewriter, time travel and ties--that's my kid!

Darcee, Do you think that had we struck around AF, my Ryan and your Cache would have been good friends? The thought kind of warms my heart.
FYI- Diana Ingram (from the Sterling Scholar article) was in our Ward north of the Temple when we lived there aug 2005-may 2006. Sharp family.
Oh, how I appreciate this post. The turning of the year has freaked me out because 2011 is so close to 2013 when Daniel will graduate - a date that also seemed impossibly far off at one point in my life.
I loved the article, especially the time travel part! And, the fact that Landon chased a bear away from scout camp was pretty good too! Those were some remarkable kids that were highlighted. Best of luck to you both in the coming months.
