Six Down, Eight to Go...

With Cami's graduation from early morning seminary this past Sunday, we officially have six years of early mornings down.....only eight to go!  

It's a huge sacrifice to wake up an hour-and-a-half before the rest of your peers....

to study the scriptures BEFORE school each day....

but this amazing group  (plus about 30 others from our stake) did just that every day for FOUR YEARS! 

These three...

will all be attending BYU in the fall!

As a parent, I am so grateful for her  teachers (Bro. Goodson, Bro. Atchley, Bro. Koch, Bro. Ferrel, and Bro. Liljegren) who sacrificed not only their sleep, but also their time in preparing the lessons each day.  

Glen was a seminary teacher for a couple of years back when Emma was a baby and it was a relentlessly exhausting (but rewarding) job to do!    A job without pay...of course!

I am also grateful for Cami's good friends.   What a great influence they've been and I'm grateful that their friendship is such that it can continue as they all head off to Cougar territory this fall!
