Has it really been 12 years?

Well, I have never blogged before, but today has moved me to blogging. Today Preston passed the Sacrament for the first time. Is it possible that he is this old? No way--I was just stunned all day. It was such a wonderful thing to watch as every boy who sat down leaned over to him and explained what he should do--they really looked out for him and helped him. He was very nervous at first, but by the time he was passing the water, I saw him smile and kind of rock back on his heels like, "Hey, I can do this!" I am so overwhelmed with gratitude to belong to a church that has the priesthood of God and that my son gets to be a part of such a wonderful brotherhood, that will guide him and keep him doing what is right as he grows.

Not to mention that he looked so handsome and grown up! I caught myself taking a second glance in the hallway because I couldn't believe that really was my son.
