One of the advantages of having son who is good with tech is that he can create a picture of a character from a book I love, that has…you know…
no pictures.
Not only does he create the image…
but he can personalize it.
Why, he can even make it into…
the Scottish man of my dreams.
If I was 40 years younger, that is…
and liked pointy ears.
Ha.
This cute guy right here just finished his very last class for his Master’s Degree in Product Innovation–with a 4.0. Duuude. I’ve never had a 4.0 in my life, nevermind while in a Master’s program. SO much hard work!
Oh, my goodness are we ever proud of him!! Doing all that while being an incredible husband and father AND creating his own music channel on YouTube!
Congratulations my sweet boy. You are absolutely amazing.
We love you so much.
Mwa!
Mom
I’ll tell you what…
if you’re brave enough to leave the calm, comfortable, gorgeous place that we call home here in Utah…
and move to the outer regions of the universe with it’s own particular wild hearted appeal…
then I would suspect you’re probably also brave enough to…
sleep in a tent in the utter wilderness, despite the hordes of ferocious wild creatures lurking about…
and possibly you’re even brave enough to…
fish for your own breakfast in the biggest pond I’ve ever seen, that could, in fact be hiding the Loch Ness Monster’s American cousin…
then most likely you are also brave enough to…
take whatever creatures you foraged and hunted and scared up and slow roast them over an open fire out in the middle of nowhere.
So, I’m thinking…
if you’re going to do all that brave stuff with wreckless, crazy, wild abandon, then you may as well do it an a lovely place like this…
that is even lovelier with you all in it.
I sure adore you guys.
I sure miss you guys.
I’m glad you were a boy scout.
See this cute guy? Well, he did something pretty dang marvelous this week.
In fact, he did the very thing that enticed him to move to Arkansas in the first place.
He did this thing.
Oh, my GOODNESS!! Not only is he cuter than heck, he is also one smart cookie!!
And see that teeny smidge of a teal tassel there on the right side? He is the only person in the whole class that even got one of those! I don’t actually get what it’s for, but if that were me, I’d be wearing that sucker on my forehead so no one could possibly miss it! Haha.
So not only is he cute AND smart but he’s also not even being a show off about it. I could probably learn a lot from this guy. Ok, I guess I COULD learn a lot from this guy. Duh.
Congratulations my sweet son on earning your Master’s Degree. I love you and admire you and think you’re amazing and I am SO, SO proud of you and all your hard work!
But I’m still not calling you Master.
Miss you boy. Now come home.
Hey, a mom can try.
This girl and her daddy like to tease each other about who loves the other person…more. They’d go around and around…”I love you more…no, I love you more!”
One day, little Skylie came up with a love that was hard to beat.
This is the song written about that adorable true-life experience.
So, so beautiful.
